best bibs (x3)

A good friend at work recently had triplets.  Well, maybe not so recently.  The babies were born a bit early, so they were just now allowed to come home from the hospital.  I was so incredibly happy for this sweet couple—I can’t even begin to imagine everything they must have been through.

I went for a visit earlier this week, and of course I couldn’t arrive for my visit (at feeding time no less) without a gift in hand!   So out came this darling pattern by Jennifer of JC Handmade.  I fell in love with the patchwonky-puckery-vintagey-look, and the free-motion quilting was a lot more enjoyable on a smaller scale.  Such a heartwarming and gratifying project. 

Patchwork bibs for rosy-cheeked babies with the most beautiful red hair.  Can you picture it? 

Vote!

I headed out on this rainy morning and stood in line with tears in my eyes and a catch in my throat.  Don't worry, I've always had this reaction when I go to vote, no matter the election year; it's just that tremendous and exciting to me.  I'm kinda a dork that way.  Know what I mean?

 

We have been given such a gift.
