Answered prayers

I have friends who live in Maryland.  They have been trying to have a baby for a number of years.  Bless their hearts for their fortitude with failed IVF attempts.  In answer to their prayers, they had a friend raise her hand and volunteer to be a surrogate.  

In mid-January (before all the craziness of the Corona virus grounded us), we had a baby shower.  We had no clue as to gender of the long-anticipated bundle of joy, so I went with gender-neutral.

This is the quilt.  The pattern is from Missouri Star Quilt Company.  Although I didn't plan it, the quilt is in the colors of our beloved Georgia Bulldogs.  (G'Mama picked up on it immediately.)  In the picture are the mom, me, and three of the cousins of the long-awaited baby.  

On March 9, Luciana "Lucy" Rose made her appearance.  

Congratulations to Mom & Dad, the grandparents, and family on this long-awaited bundle of joy.  I am so happy to be able to contribute a gift to the arrival of this sweetheart.
