Pretty in Pink

Princess Charlotte sample quilt

Well the day after my last post, wouldn't you know it but I came upon a quilt block called Princess Charlotte. I don't recall ever seeing it before (at least with this name) but it may have been around for a while, or perhaps it was created to welcome the newest member of Britain's royal family.

Whatever the case, I think it is a wonderful choice and it has lots of possibilities when you put it into your quilt. An added bonus is that it is an easy quilt block to make. What could be better?

The sweetness of babies

• "Having a baby is one of the most wonderful things in your life, as well as the hardest thing in your life."
  ~ Nuno Bettencourt


• Whenever I want to laugh, I read a wonderful book, Children's Letters to God. You can open it anywhere. One I read recently said, "Dear God, thank you for the baby brother, but what I prayed for was a puppy."
  ~ Maya Angelou
