While looking at a photo album and reminiscing, I came upon the chart from the contraction monitor I was hooked to during my son’s birth... These lines told no lies! The motif is based on the monitor chart and I chose colours that explore the temperatures of red. The embroidery and the quilting highlight my memories of this prelude to the arrival of a fine young man.
