I managed to finish up the most recent baby gift less than a week after he arrived. Julie and I picked up this adorable dinosaur fabric on my last visit for a friend that was expecting. I finally dared to break out the walking foot for my machine and quilt this most recent one. I was very pleased with how it turned out and the recipient seemed to snuggle right in. He is our youngest house guest to date (6 days old), he and his very proud new parents came by on Sunday for dinner.

Quotes
"Our lives are like quilts – bits and pieces, joy and sorrow, stitched with love." ~Author Unknown
"Risk more than others think is safe. Care more than others think is wise. Dream more than others think is practical. Expect more than others think is possible. " ~ Cadet Maxim
"Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm. " -Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Happiness is never stopping to think if you are. " — Palmer Sondreal
“25 years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the things you did do. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade wind in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” - Mark Twain
"...to be a parent is to live in the past-present-future all at once. It is to hug your children and be intensely aware of how much smaller they felt last year...even as you wonder how much bigger they will feel the next. It is to be a time-shifter, to marvel at the budding of their intellect, their verbal dexterity, their sense of humor...at the same time rewinding and fast-forwarding...to when they were younger, to when they'll be older. It is to experience longing for the here and now..." -Youngme Moon - Different
