I ought to kick myself (some OT)

I have been SSOOO bad about keeping in touch here at RCTQ!! I hope you missed me? (:



My unborn grandbaby is a girl for one thing - I know that many of you were following the progress of Mark's and Jenn's in vitro pregnancy. I was on the road in South Dakota when they called and had to leave a voice mail since we were most definitely out of region. As soon as I heard, THE baby quilt popped into my head all finished! I'm going to use a rail fence pattern with my blacks and whites - the lightest fabrics in the center and getting darker to the outside with appliqued colorful daisies all around the outside edge. Whew - thank goodness it's a little quilt!



Hubby found a way, on our trip through SD, to stop at the Mistletoe Ranch near Rapid City where I got to go quilt shopping and found a nice pattern and luscious batiks and hoffmans. Walked out with a little bag



- but it was loaded - yeehaw!



Anyway I'm home again and checking into rctq finally - feels like my life's been incomplete without you! Pics of SD at

Happy to see you around, Cindy! . In message , Musicmaker writes

Of course we did! :)

Congratulations, and the quilt sounds terrific. Have you started cutting yet? ;)

Good for you! Gotta get that quilting fix one way or another, don't we?

What gorgeous pics! Your QI seems to have had a wonderful time, too.

Sounds like a great trip and the pics are awesome!

You were gone? Really? How long? Why didn't you so you were going? Afraid we'd plan a stash raid...isn't that half the fun of going away...letting us TRY at least to get one organized? What did you have to bribe QoS with to keep quiet about it? Whatever it was, it worked :)

Oh, before I forget:

SSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEE'S BBBBBBBAAAAAAAAACCCCCCCCCKKKK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Butterfly (and here I thought you were on the 'finish it' kick and gardening like a lot seem to be right now)

Yeah! It's a girl. You are going to have such a good time. I am enjoying my DGD Norah. She is now 2 months old and more fun every week as she grows.
