Accomplishment
Yesterday I drove to Fergus to attend a baby shower for Sherri-lyn, my friend Margaret's daughter in-law. Margaret and her daughter Shelly were hosting the event.
Sherri-lyn and Cort have chosen the theme "Under the Sea" for their baby's room so the theme went forward into the shower. Shelly made this very cute "turtle cake".
Sherri-lyn with all the presents.
McKenna (Shelly's little girl).
At long last ... the quilted place mats. Now I just have to remember to never use them when I serve something with tomato sauce and have club soda nearby when I serve red wine.
I had such good intentions when we headed south last winter ---- a book on quilting and all of the materials required for making place mats were loaded into the trailer. When we returned home in April, the book and materials were unloaded from the trailer, but the good intentions were sill there and the place mats were begun before the end of April and finally today they are finished. Far from perfect but quite a learning experience in both quilting and sewing and not all bad as a lap quilt is in my future (hopefully with fewer oopses).

I want to thank you again for coming down last Saturday and helping us out....don't know how we would have pulled it off without your help. My cold has settled nicely into my chest and I sound very similar to when we were in Arizona. Have to get better as Baby Logan is scheduled to arrive on the 11th of July.
