FIRST FINISH FOR ME

I am very happy to report that I finally have my first FINISH of 2013 done.
I had to find something in a hurry to finish off and give to our daughter Amanda for her newborn son Liam.  

He was born on Friday night... a week early.

I have made a quilt for him... well the top is done.  But, it got bundled up and put into storage when we had our little house flood, so I couldn't give it to her tomorrow when I go to visit the new baby.

Luckily I had some UFO's in boxes that were left in the garage (my sewing room!)... so I found one and spent all day today (saturday) doing the applique, then quilting it, adding baby's name and so on.... and now it's done:

ABOVE:  baby's Name Wallhanging.  I have several animal blocks half done from last year and the year before.  Now they are coming in handy, we have had 4 new grandchildren born in the past 6 months!
I suppose that is one of the benefits of having 6 grown up kids.

Sometimes I wonder if it is a benefit! They sure are keeping me busy ... and broke!

Somehow I don't seem to mind.  *smiles*

Right, off to bed, going to see our newest bub tomorrow and hand over his 'Name Wallhanging'.
