It's Time for Awww Monday! January 19, 2015

 
Babies and Quilts!
You might remember this quilt as I posted about it
back in late December and I mentioned that there
was a cute story about the quilt.
 



Now that the baby is here I can tell the cute story.
The paternal Grandmother is a good friend of ours
and she had a dream about her unborn grandson.
As a matter of fact-the baby was only a twinkle in the
father's eye at that point.  But the Grandmother 
was convinced the baby boy was on his way.
Well....her Grand daughter was born in early
January so obviously the Grandson will have to
wait a bit before his arrival. When I made this quilt 
I made sure that it would be a perfect quilt for
either a boy or a girl and here is a photo of little Lola!

 
Meanwhile, our family welcomed our latest little baby girl
Cody Rae in late December.
 
 
I was a bit tardy in the making of the quilt
 so she just got her quilt a few days ago.
 
 
Have a great day what ever you do!
And don't forget to thank Sandee for Awww Mondays!

Oh Those Babies!

Welcome
Gracie Marie Worsley
October 22, 2008
9# 5 oz
Now that's a baby!
She looks a lot like her Daddy!


Earlier this summer I visited my brother Paul

in Berthoud Colorado. While I was there one of

his three sons, Evan, came up from Scottsdale AZ

so we could all get together. I also met his girlfriend Fawn.

Their baby was born on October 22, 2008 at 11:50pm

weighing in at 9 ! pounds 5 oz Mama mia that's a lot of baby!

Welcome baby girl Gracie Marie Worsley

and here's some photos of the quilt I sent on to her.

I am looking forward to meeting her next summer

when I make it out to Colorado again..............



Close up of pocket with birth info-I like
adding a pocket to the back
rather than just a label.


The quilt below is for Chantal and Berry's little boy
who is due the end of December. I cannot
mail it until he's born because I want to add
his name and birthdate on the pocket.
He will be joining his big sister Mauri
who is 2 years old now!Here's an old photo
of Mauri when we visited her and her family
in Zaltbommel September 2006






Blank pocket for the moment.....



Close up of the strip design I have fun with.




As a postscript ... .I missed attending brother Paul's

son Clay's wedding in September. He and his wife Tori

are expecting a boy in late February. So I am starting to pull

out fabric and imagining what colors and design I will use....

Once upon a time there was a quilt

Our good friends in the Netherlands
emailed us a few weeks ago that they
had a new addition to their family..
little girl Losanne Riva Frederique
what a lovely name....and here she is-












so of course I immediately needed
to make a quilt for our newest babe...
and here it is-



But wait- there's more...
a teddy bear and here it is:


But Russell and others think the
bear needs eyes...so here they are:

and that's the end of my story.....
