A VERY busy week 1/09

Pooh Corner:
One week this spring, one of our english teachers was soon to leave on maternity leave, so I ask her what is her plans for the nursery. She replied that she was going to use the same as her older daugther and redo her daughter's new room. I asked were there any major theme elements? Winnie the Pooh.
I knew just the fabric and I could not wait to go to Walmart and pick it up. Yes: Walmart. They are in McMinnville about a hour south of home and there is the BEST chinnesse place just down the way. So since I was headed down there for the fabric, I could easily stop and get my favorite Moo Shoo Shrimp with Crab Ragoon. YUMMMY. Well the quilt came together nicely and I backed it in the kelly green Minkey. Mmmm soft.
Back to why it was a busy week. On Monday I take it in to give it away, showing it off to the other quilters on campus, and a councilor comes up to me and says "did you know that one of the math teacher wife is pregnant?" My responce "No, when is she due?" Her reply "Any day now." OMG! So I grill my students and they said: Yes he has his cell phone on and is waiting for the call.
Frantic
Well that puts me into hyper drive and when I get home, after hitting the drive through for Subway so that I do not have to cook. I look at my stash and see what I can put together without having to go to the fabric store. Well this is not that much of an issue. I have probably around a few thousand dollars of fabric in my study closet. Some arranged by color some by fabric line.

Well I put together "Frantic" in 27 hours. Yes I know that one block is upside down but at the time there was NO time to fix it. I also slept, taught school, Mom to 4 year old, and the husband worked both nights. Thank you Cindy for doing bedtime duty so that I could breath and have a glass of wine. To say the least I gave it to him before the Wednesday morning meeting and his son was born that night. My one request to my co-workers a little more notice and I will be greatful.
