Another Baby Quilt Flimsy

There are thirteen of us who are losing our jobs, just under ten percent of the faculty, staff, and administration combined. Some of us are getting together one morning next week to have coffee and discuss ways we can support each other.

One of them is a woman about my own age who, in fact, graduated from my high school a year ahead of me. I didn't know her then, but since she came to the school we've felt a special ancient history type of connection. She is a school-year-only employee and  is expecting her first grandchild this summer (after sitting by and watching me acquire no fewer than six in the past seven years!). I had planned to make a baby quilt over the summer to give to her when she returned at the start of school in September. I had some jelly roll strips left from the baby quilt I made for Andrea, and I bought some lovely yellow Kona at LQS and this is what I have to show for my weekend. I'll get backing and batting and floss and tie it. The binding is made and hanging on my wall. I'm liking it a lot and
