I will conquer this. I will. I will. I think I can, I think I can.
This was the second guest bedroom, where my granddaughter stays when she comes to visit. I'd been dumping things in there, as I've cleaned the other rooms. In reality, this was not as bad as it looks.
This is the after. I need to decide what quilts to put on the wall.
I also worked on part of the closet. That is a job for another day. What does one do with 100's of VHS movies? I've yet to decide.
I did not finish my BOTV desk. I took a picture, but I'm not sure what I did with it. The good news is that the rooms were clean enough to welcome my daughter and granddaughter for a quick visit.
She was happy to find both the Barbies and the pool in working condition. :)
The reason she was here was to go to a baby shower for her cousin-to-be. I don't think I've ever been to a shower when the baby received more than one quilt. This baby received THREE!!
I believe the first quilt was made by my daughter-in-law's great aunts. The first child from each generation receives a quilt with this pattern. This is the fourth generation. Most have had pink sashing...and been given to boys. Maybe that's why they went with purple. Just in case the ultrasound is wrong.
This quilt was made by our DIL's mother's mother. (That is her mother in the picture, with her.) Cute quilt. I did not realize that she came from a family of quilters!
This Grandmother's Fan is the quilt I gave her. No, I haven't had time to quilt lately. But back in the late 90's, when I did have time, I listened to my quiltie friends who advised me, "Make quilts for your grandbabies when you have time. When they get here? You'll be too busy to be able to get one done in time." Excellent advice, which I am oh, so glad I heeded!
And, other than that? It's back to trying to regain lost ground in the room I loosely refer to as The Studio. Goals have been pushed back yet again, but they still exist. Which is a good thing. A very good thing.
Happy Quilting!
