What else have I been doing?

Believe it or not, I have been doing some things other than the cat block quilt. 

One of my coworkers and his wife just had a new baby, and luckily I had a baby quilt top made. I quickly had it quilted (thanks Bonnie!) and now it's bound and ready to gift.  This was a really cute panel that was part of a kit that I got several years ago.  I decided I wanted a simpler quilt, so I added the diagonal borders instead of the fussy pieced one in the pattern. 

And last week we attended Grandparents' Day at Jack's preschool.  They had a nice program. The kids sang a song to everyone, then our kiddo got a book and led us to a spot in the commons to read to him.  I was a little afraid I wouldn't be able to get off the floor again, but it was fun.  Grandparents were given some artwork that included the child's hand print, and their name - written by the child.  Then we all had snacks and had our pictures taken.  This is one of the best photos we've ever taken with Jack. He's a "runner" - and is difficult to corral when we've had photos taken. But he was pretty pleased to have us there.
