Well, Fellow Texan Betty - I'd love for you to be close by because kits were made for me! I DON'T like choosing the fabrics. I can handle it when they come in coordinating sets, but other than that I second guess myself crazy! That's why I use the staff of the quilt shop so much. I thought I'd gotten good at putting 3 fabrics together - a focus and two blenders, but lost that in this one this time. This baby being a girl is just not what I had in mind!
The young man who is the dad-to-be is the son of my dearest friend. I thought we would someday be visiting him in jail. He threw rocks at an empty house next door to me and broke some windows when he was about 8. By the time he was 18 he was mowing my grass - just because it needed it and he knew we were busy. Now at 28 he's an elementary PE teacher and a dad-to-be. How awesome is that? But ... a baby girl, huh? Hmmmmm. Pooey!
