My hubby actually was the one who took Mom to the hospital the night William was born, after they helped the mid-wife load a trailer of household possessions as the mid-wife was in the process of moving. After the trailer was loaded, the three of them went to the Amish 'care center' where William was born. Imagine being ready to deliver child #9 and stopping to help someone move out of their house. Whew. The Amish dad stayed home to care for the other 8 children.
Here is William's birthday pillowcase...grey which is a color he likes and a combination of many of the fabrics I used in his siblings' pillowcases. See previous posts for the whole story!
Oh, did I mention Roscoe's Pa's first name is William!?!
:o)

I'm sure William will love his gift. I guess after 8 children you know when "it's time." Number 9 must not have been in a super big hurry to arrive.
Linda~you'll definitely want to come see my blog today ;)
Linda,
I found your blog through Niki's blog. Wow--you do some amazing work. I love all your quilts. What a view out your sewing room window!! Thank you for sharing your wonderful crafts with us. Take care.
What a pretty pillowcase, with a touch of color from all the others. I'm sure he will think he is really special when you give it to him. that is quite an honor to have the baby named after 'Pa'. It sounds like they can use the help too with that many kids. I wonder if she would have gotten any medical help if you 2 hadn't been there.
Lovely colors for the pillowcase. And most interesting story. My friend's husband took me to the hospital for my second baby while his wife babysat my other child. My own husband was at work. The admitting nurse was shocked when I said, "Oh, he's not my husband."
