My youngest son and his wife have been expecting for the past nine months. The official due date was October 4. Little Addison Marilyn made her arrival on Thursday, September 28. My husband and I were blessed to be allowed in the delivery room for the birth. It was an absolute miracle, an experience I will never forget.
In the morning, as momma labored, I was meeting with my Itty Bitty quiltie group. I had gone through a box of spare parts, and unearthed a leftover block from my 2012 Hoffman Challenge. You can see that quilt
here.
I spent Thursday morning adding embellishments, as well as Friday. Miss Addison spent two days in NICU, so she was off limits to Grammie. Seemed like a good idea to put my extra energy to good use. The 6" finished block is mounted on canvas. (The green background is not part of the quilt.)
And there you go. I have other things underway, but I suspect that my quilting time is going to be squeezed once again. Knowing me, I would rather play with a baby than needle and thread.
Oh happy day!

Congratulations on the beautiful addition to your family. If my grandkids lived closer I'm assuming I wouldn't get as much sewing time in either.
Congratulations to the whole family Suzanne! I can imagine that you are walking on air.
