"we've got to make room for the baby somehow"

Tuesday, Feb. 5, 1991 (Part 2)
     Sat. Guy took me over to the Forsythe's for Gina Ibarra's shower.  I'd done a cross-stitch piece for her but didn't have time to get it made into a pillow.  I at least fixed up the front so everyone would have an idea what it would look like.  It was supposed to start at 10:30 but they didn't start eating til 11:00.  Guy said he'd pick me up a little before noon.  I kept watching for him after 11:30 and saw him about 11:45.  I signaled to him I'd be 5 minutes.  Then I went & explained to Gina that I needed to leave and could she go ahead & open my present so I could take her picture.  She was almost done eating so I didn't feel I was rushing her too much.  She really like it though & started showing it to everyone.  I got it back at church Sun. so I can finish it into a pillow this week.  I need to get some new thread for it though -- I was making do with what I had.  Piece Goods is having a sale this week so I need to go there anyway.  When I went to get the pillow fabric they gave me a coupon book.  I also got a maternity pattern.  It has a jumpsuit, pants, and a pullover and a blouse.  I'll get fabric for that at the sale.  Then next week Quilt Works is having a fabric sale.  I want to get more of the fabrics I used int he quilt to make things for the nursery.  I don't think I mentioned that yet.  I took a quilting class--finally.  It was the hand-quilting sampler class.  Four Friday mornings for $50.  We didn't finish it in class but are supposed to know all we need to to get it done.  It's just the right size for a crib quilt.  There are four different blocks--Dresden Plate, Drunkards Path, 9-Patch, and 8-pt. Star.  I've got a pink and cream stripe, a white on pink calico, pink & lavendar on off-white calico, a solid pink, & muslin.  I haven't worked on it since class cause I've been sick but I need to get going on it to get it done in time.  And we need to get to work on the front bedroom.  If this is really going to happen we've got to make room for the baby somehow.  I need some boxes to start packing up my craft stuff.  And I need to start sewing--on stuff for the nursery, clothes for me, & especially the dress for Gina & Rob's wedding.
