Baby Love!

Introducing Alexander Nico!

Sleeper, eater and pooper extraordinaire! He's a darling boy, very bright and so kind and gentle! And ten days old today!

We're visiting Alex and his mom and dad in College Station Texas. Between holding the baby and helping the parents I've been doing handwork- hexagons. My, my, they're addictive! I'm combining various techniques: Paper hexagons that I swiped the edges with a glue stick, folded the fabric down on it, whip stitched the corners down and then sewed the hexes together. Here's a sample (I used Moda's Woodland Blooms)


I can't resist showing you this last photo of Alex. What a miracle babies are!

Have a great evening!

Baby Alex Arrives!

Announcing the arrival of baby Alex Nico Lench. He arrived at 7:00 am this morning weighing in at a whopping 8 lbs 7 oz and 22.5" long. He has brown hair and very blue eyes. And a set of vocal cords you can hear 1200 miles away!

No pictures to share yet, but count on it!

In my quilting world, I've been working on a flannel quilt for my godson Kevin's graduation. I ordered the pattern and flannel from The Pine Needle http://www.pineneedlequiltshop.com/home.asp



Here is a picture of the quilt. (I've finished two rows) The flannel is delicious! Soft and thick. I love working with flannel because it sticks to itself and you don't need pins.

Have a nice evening!
