Happy Dance! (But OT...)

Well, it may be a *little* bit on topic, since it involves someone using a quilt I made. This is the quilt: . And the Happy Dance is that our little granddaughter arrived this morning, almost three weeks early (to her mother's huge relief ) and seeming quite healthy. She did give us a scare at one point when she stopped breathing and turned blue, but it was apparently just a mucus blockage that has since gone away. Whew! Ella is just adorable -- lots of dark hair and dimples -- though quite tiny; she's only 5lbs. 7oz. and 18" long, but that's okay for a petite little girl. We already have four grandsons (two of whom are brothers to Ella), but this is the first girl, so we're especially pleased. I spent most of the morning at the hospital and got in some good cuddle time. Ella's two big brothers (aged 8 and 6) are probably there now, as their dad promised to pick them up from school and take them to see her today. They've spent the past two nights with us as DD was coming and going from the hospital. They'll be glad to be back in their own beds tonight!

Thanks so much, Pat! I've just come home from visiting again -- amazingly, Ella is just as cute today as she was yesterday. ;)

And now I can't find the pattern! Wahhhh! :( But I do recall that it was a Mary Englebreit pattern that was given away with some of her fabrics as part of a kit. I hope that helps. Still, as you say, Pat, the pattern isn't difficult to figure out. If pressed, I could probably redraft it in EQ or QP.

Congratulations on your new granddaughter! My first daughter was 5lb11oz and she's still very petite. :) The quilt is beautiful, and I'm sure the new baby is, too. :)
