Although my family life is plenty complicated, I think this one is just forgetfulness.<br /><br />@Suzy--You are so lucky to have these.

I started quilting a while back and my mom told me I could take the Little Dutch Girl blocks and fabric scraps that her grandmother I was named after had started before she died. I never thought much about them before but I asked her how she ended up with them since that entire family is pretty greedy and she wasn't top of the ladder. She said she 'didn't know' then it dawned on me - she was the one preggers at the time and was supposed to make them into a baby quilt for me! Heck I'm suppoed to make my own baby quilt which probably won't happen since the fabric is so old. 42 years later...well I was 40 when she gave the bag to me..Suzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09736403277973311615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8242926316765633205.post-66491129504041746112009-08-12T10:07:59.402-05:002009-08-12T10:07:59.402-05:00Wonder what took your mother so long to notify you...Wonder what took your mother so long to notify you of the gift, but then, family life can be complicated (at least in mine).
