One of my favorite kinds of speech is enthusiastic speech, where two of us, at least, are sharing our admiration of something. Often it happens in an art museum or after a movie, but yesterday my friend and I were fabric shopping and we oooed and awed over various materials. We both have a grandchild due the same month, and were on the lookout for baby quilt fabric and various themes our children would appreciate to have in their baby's room. It was such a feast for the eyes, and at the second shop we both took the plunge and bought fabric for a baby quilt, and I additionally got material for a dress for my seven year old granddaughter. We checked our selections with each other, and received support for our choices. Since this project takes a lot of time, and we are going to be staring at the quilt again and again when the baby is born, we wanted to get it right, to FEEL that the quilt would be pleasurable for the parents, baby and us.
Simple joy is what I experienced yesterday. I came back home smiling, and later looked at my choices again and smiled. These quilts will be made with love.
