The good news is I finished my new nieces, Gabriella's, baby quilt.
The bad news is that she is already two months old.
The good news is that I designed and made the quilt myself.
The bad news is I designed and made the quilt myself.
The good news is that Gabriella and all newborns have limited vision for a while.
The bad news is that her mother doesn't have limited vision.
The good news is that it is the first quilt that I have ever quilted with my machine.
The bad news is, again, that I quilted it with my machine.
The good news is that by the time Gabriella is old enough to reason that it must have been a blind person on laughing gas who quilted her quilt, she will be attached to it and will not care.
The bad news is that once she is done being attached to it, she will be old enough to ask her mom why she would ever have been allowed to be seen with such a shoddy thing.
The good news is that maybe by that time she will have forgotten who actually made her the quilt in the first place.
And one final piece of good news: We will be moving to Virginia next summer for a year or three, to get started with the rest of our lives!

You ooze with talent, my dear. Ooze.
brooke, you made this? Wow, it is lovely. I can't make anything. I love all the texture. I am sure little Gabriella and her mother will treasure it! Beautiful work.
I love the quilt Brooke. You did a good job. And congratulations with Virginia (was that your #1 pick?)

Are you crazy or just a perfectionist? That quilt is awesome! I would buy it that is how good it is. Ok, you have to answer this question, what part of Virginia? My mom and Dad live there and I visit all the time!! I would love to hang with you.

Congrats on Virginia!
First off, now did you get 11 comments in only 6 hrs? You are amazing!! And the quilt, fabulous.
The blind person on laughing gas comment reminds me of the time we first drove by the outlet mall in Pasco after seeing a play and you said, "Who had their head in their pants when they painted that thing?"
That quilt is beautiful! You should be quite proud of yourself.

Brook you are too hard on yourself...I don't think anyone, sighted or not would be anything but overjoyed to get such a gorgeous quilt and the fact that you designed and made it yourself makes it priceless!
