how I create a baby quilt:

  1. facestalk the expectant couple

  2. drink a gallon of coffee while contemplating the info gathered

  3. draw grid (OK, so it's just a table...) in Publisher®

  4. scroll through embroidery designs to find items to fit the theme

  5. (buy new designs, if needed...)

  6. arrange embroidery design jpgs in grid

  7. dig through fabric stash to find cloth to fit the theme

  8. (buy new fabric, if needed...)

  9. arrange fabric jpgs in grid

10. embroider designs

11. cut remaining squares

12. lay out quilt on carpet for dog to roll on

13. stitch squares into rows, then rows together...

14. "sandwich" top with batting & back fabric

15. quilt & bind
