The year of quilts...
If I were Chinese, 2009 could be called the year of the quilts. Observe:
Bridger's quilt
Alex, Ruby, and Bennett's quilts... that's right...3. As in triplets. Emily told me that making 3 quilts might have given me insight into caring for 3 babies. On a good day. :) They are absolutely darling and I was so lucky to be able to spend some time with darling sleeping babies:)
As a side note, it was wonderful to see you three ladies + Julia, Gabe, Alex, Bennett, and Ruby. We missed you, Jill!
Morgan's Christmas quilt- During the summer I was teaching her how to make a quilt. Halfway through, we needed more fabric, but Joann's was out. The quilt project stopped there. Fast forward to drawing names for siblings. We keep it a secret in my family. Paul and I drew her. She made the announcement that whoever had her, she just wanted her quilt finished. Easy enough. This one was probably my favorite one to make and worked up the quickest and with the fewest mistakes. Probably because rag quilts HIDE all of the mistakes:)
Gabe's quilt. His was the first quilt I actually finished.
See Gabe now.
Probably one of the most darling babies I've ever seen.
I have one more I'm working on, but it definitely won't be finished before 2010.
Happy New Year!

The best ideas...
It seems I get my best ideas for Christmas gifts 3 days before Christmas. It also turns out that those best ideas tend to be very time consuming, crafty ones. Ideas that I'm determined to make come to fruition and will stay up all night every night until Christmas to make sure they do...It seems this is my curse every year.
