Maddie's birthday quilt

at 03/06/10 8:40AM



This is the quilt I made Maddie for her birthday. I have been collecting Eiffel Tower fabrics for about 10 years. We found the name "Madeleine" in Paris when we were in Europe a few months before I got pregnant with Maddie. Since Stacy's previous choice for a girl's name was Mathilda, I quickly agreed to name a baby girl Madeleine. Little did we know it would become such a popular name. We have only met one other girl who spells it the same as we do.

Happy birthday sweet girl!


And happy birthday to two other sweet girls up in Indiana. Wish we could all go out to the Cabbage Rose together to celebrate! Love you and miss you!

    We are planning on leaving in the middle of the night so I doubt a stop will work for us. On a sad note, I don't know if anyone has told you, but Lucy Hurst passed away last week and her funeral was yesterday. She really hadn't been herself for several years. So sad- We have such sweet memories of her, don't we? What a lady. Love you. Nina

Today my baby girl turns 11. She was in a hurry 11 years ago, arriving just over 4 weeks early - and hasn't slowed down since! She is growing into a wonderful young lady. I love you, sweet girl!

I must be getting old because.....

at 02/20/10 7:40AM
- this year is just zipping by at the speed of light. How did it get to be February 20th already?

- Maddie will turn 11 in just 11 days.

- This will be Maddie and Ian's last year at the same school until Maddie is a senior and Ian is a sophomore.


Anyone else feeling old this morning?
  • hopefullgirl

It is 45 degrees outside right now! It seems like it has been below freezing for weeks on end - even though I know it has only been about a week. Now if my toes will get the message and thaw out!

It is cold - currently 29 degrees.

My toes have been frozen for days.

We are hosting a kids' bible class at our house tonight.

Someone needs to clean.

I am not interested.

The end.
