Quilting

I made a couple quilts for two of my friends that are having babies soon. I'm really proud of my first tries (although I did have lots of help on both of them so it's not all my work).

I made this quilt first for our friends Chase and Kami.
They're expecting their first-a boy-in early March.

My really good friend Kate is having a little girl the end of February.
I LOVE the colors on this quilt and the apples.

These quilts were so fun to make! They are definitely the perfect starter quilt. Thank you Patsy for teaching me how to make them! :)

My friend Mackenzie and I threw Kate a baby shower on Saturday. As usual, I forgot to take pictures. We did get one picture of Kate and I with our friend and old roomie, Kayla (who drove up from Arizona to be there. Kayla= AWESOME)!


In other news:

I'm 25 weeks along!

I'm starting to look more and more pregnant. I keep being told that I'm a very small pregnant woman and I barely show. I've decided I'm okay with this for a couple reasons. First, I'm not uncomfortable. I sleep through the night almost every night. Also, I am hoping being a small pregnant woman means I won't have a baby the size Marcus was. He was 10lbs 9oz and I have serious fears that I'm going to have to push a baby that size out of me. I have a lot of appreciation for his Mom. (And moms in general the more I think about labor and delivery).

AND in 2.5 weeks, I fly to North Carolina to see my family!

Oh. My. Goodness! I can not wait to hold and kiss this little girl!

  1. Hello! It's Kathryn Huff, remember me? I just happened across your blog the other day. Congratulations on the little one! That is so exciting.
    Did you know we moved back to NC last year? Because I'm thinking that if you have time, maybe we could meet somewhere for lunch or something. I don't know, just a thought.

  2. Hey Kathryn! I did not know you guys moved back to NC! My parents live in Cary so that's where I'll be. Where do you live? My mom is throwing me a baby shower while I'm there so if you send me your address, I'll have her send you an invite. You can email me at bgilson02@gmail.com.
