I’ve been a little quiet on my blog here recently.  My apologies!  My husband has been traveling for business recently and I like to go with him.  So I have been out on the road.  Traveling is a great time for thinking through this mumble jumble of ideas rolling around in my head.   But I am “burying the lead” here.

The big news in the Sackel household is that we are going to be Grandparents!  Our son Chris and his lovely wife Susan are expecting.  When I first found out, I immediately found a baby quilt I had set aside and sent it off to them.  Here it is.

For my grandbaby

The quilt is my Constellations pattern published by Quiltwoman.com.  Here’s the another of my quilts that is on the cover of the pattern.

It’s a design from my 4-in-1 series.  This series features quilts that have large areas for embellishment.  In this case embroidered designs are the embllishement.

A few weeks ago we got more good news….

Yup, it’s a boy!  The only downside to all this great news is that my son and his wife are living in Korea for a while.  We’ve been doing the webcam thing via Skype, but it is going to be so hard to have a grandson and not be able to hold him for a long while.  But I can tell you one thing, my mind is whirling with my list of necessities that I need to stitch up for this baby!  Korean customs isn’t going to know what hit them!
