I Love Lucy!

I Love Lucy
by Harold Adamson and Eliot Daniel

There's a certain couple that I know.
They're strictly lovebirds,
A pair of turtle dove birds.
He's a guy who wants the world to know.
So ev'ry day
You'll hear him say

I Love Lucy and she loves me,
We're as happy as two can be,
sometimes we quarrel but then again
How we love making up again.

Lucy kisses like no one can,
She's my missus and I'm her man;
And life is heaven you see
Cause I Love Lucy
Yes I Love Lucy
and Lucy loves me.

Did you know that "Job Switching" was one of Lucy's favorite episodes? It's one of mine, too. And when I was working at ADP, that's how I felt. Working in Production (especially in "the Dungeon"--where the stuffing machines were), it reminded me of Lucy working in the candy factory. Even more so on Tuesdays when we were super busy.

"I Love Lucy" is very speical to me. Kevin really does understand what it means to me, but teases me about it and can't undertand why I like it so much. You see, growing up, my Grandma Gregory (my mom's mom) used to take care of me while my mom worked. We'd watch TV together, but the one that we watched the most was Lucy. I still watch it and even Lilith likes it. :) I can't even tell you how many times I've seen each episode. I've even seen the only one they showed in color...it was a speical Christmas one and only showed the one time that I know of.

Anyway, my Grandma's name was Ruby. She passed away on 1/25/1999.

A couple of years ago, my mom, Lilith, and I went to the Northwest Quilt Expo like we do every year. I had found this pattern, Ruby In The Sky, and HAD to have it. After all, my Grandma's name was Ruby and she's up there watchcing over us. At the time, I wasn't sure what kind of fabric I would use...probably something with Roses since they were her favorite or blues (her favorite color).

A few months later, I came across the Chocolate Factory I Love Lucy fabrics and HAD to have them. It didn't take long to know what I was going to do with them....Ruby In The Sky. :)

It's taken awhile, but she is finally done. My mom helped quite a bit. Lilith helped, too. Lucy is very much loved. Lilith likes it quite a bit, too. :)

And, if you look closely enough (and know where to look), you can even see that I quilted "Lucy" a couple of times. There's even an "I Love Lucy" towards the bottom.
