Hijacked by gap quilter...

Hey, its Rhonda the Quilter in The Gap.....Shhhh....Don't Tell Sarah!!!!!! Can you keep a secret? I sure hope so because I have hi-jacked Sarah's blog today to invite you to one! Well, ok! so let's be honest! It's not a complete secret! I'm good but not that good! Not good enough to get from Cumberland Gap all the way over the ocean to Sarah's computer or even good enough to convince EllieCat to betray Miss Sarah! So instead I had to let Sarah in on the secret....

Susan and I are going to have her a Baby Shower.

Now before those of you on the other half the world make that weird face - hear me out! It's very common here in the US (you know for us "normal" people - ok ok so that was a stretch). But seriously, let's face it! Bean needs some things!!!! Well actually I am certain Iain & Sarah have all Bean's needs covered but if we are all being honest we NEED to make make Bean things!!!!! RIGHT?!?!?! Things like quilts, clothes, bibs, burp cloths, sleep bags, change mats, receiving blankets, booties, neckerchiefs, fabric books, diaper covers, bottle slips, and the list goes on and on - I mean we are a creative bunch! And who better to make those things than a bunch of blogging quilters/sewers!!!! And I may or may not have a T-Shirt in my that says "Don't look at me, the cat did it" Sorry EllieCat!!!!

I love PARTIES!!!!!

Parties need games, right?!?!?! Games are always fun! Seriously, if you have never been to a baby shower - and I hear many of you on "that half of the world" haven't - you really need to consider this one just for the experience of it!!! Oh wait, I am sure you are wondering how this is going to happen when we are all scattered about the great earth.....well via online of course!!! How else would a bunch of blogging buddies get together to celebrate such a wonderful event? I have set up an Invitation Only Flickr Group so we can talk about all the things we could make, the games we will play, etc then the day of the event we will have a TweetChat with Sarah (we don't want her to know too much about what we are planning, right?!)!!! Sarah, Susan and I haven't quite got the date of the TweetChat ironed out but that announcement will come soon enough - probably around November! Oh and gifts can be mailed anytime between now and then but Sarah has promised not to open until the TweetChat so that we can all experience her Shock & Awe - just like a regular baby shower. There will also be games & prizes too! So, if you want to be sent an invitation to the Flickr Group simply send me an email to quilterinthegap@outlook.com. I really hope to see you there..... Please don't tell EllieCat....I think I forgot to invite her!!!!




******NOTE FROM SARAH!****** Please come and join in the games, the chat and prizes, you dont HAVE to make anything to attend!!!  Remember Rachels Baby Shower on Friends?  Yup, I'll be freaking out that much too....
