favorite things.

i have a new favorite thing...my niece. she was well worth the wait! she is the most precious, perfectly beautiful thing i have ever seen!  in the 3 days between my meeting her and going back for a visit, i decided to try my hand at quilting.  mind you i have never done this before and i think i bit off more than i can chew. working til the wee hours of the morn i finally finished it.  also well worth the wait, but not near as beautiful, my very first quilt is pictured below.  i used amy butler fabric from her midwest modern line and no particular pattern.
