and Lori.  Thanks for the comments. Listeners!!

More to come, real soon — after all, the 5th anniversary of the Quilting Stash podcast is just around the corner.  Stay tuned!

… to add some pictures of Cambria to my last podcast blog!

You’ll like these:

Here is Cambria in her favorite chair, Mommy’s rocker. Up above her is the quilt that I made for her. A much smaller version of the one I originally planned, and realized that it was much too big for a 7 lb. baby.

Here is Cambria in a hat, sweater and socks crocheted by my longtime friend, Terri Cochran. She picked the best yarn and Cambria loves her outfit.

Little Miss Blue-eyes, playing with her tongue — precious, right? ; )

Karen and Ryan keep us entertained with daily pictures, most often to our cell phones. It’s a wonderful treat to find a picture waiting. She’s growing up so fast — she’s 4 months old already!
