Inspired by this quilt, I have been sewing a pretty little quilt for the newest expected member of our family. My grandson Addison and his wife Kaytlyn are expecting their first child, a girl, in April.
I figure if I start it now I should have it completed by the time she graduates!
We have been sitting on the news since August, waiting until all signs were good. Mommy and baby- to- be are fine, and Daddy is taking it in stride considering he has always lived in a house of girls, with his 3 sisters.
Here`s a sneak peek of the pretty in pink blocks and the additional fabric I intend to use. I have been paying strict attention to the scale of the fabrics and the colours. I want the quilt to be perfect for our expected princess.
And if it turns out, she is not a girly girl, I have that covered too! I have a stash of Bob the Builder and Finding Nemo fabric.
Congrates Kaytlyn and Great Grandmam or whatever you are going to be called!
Being the atypical female, glad you are thinking of other designs but I suspect you will not know if your quilt fits till many years later. I know you are not going to wait 10 years to give it to her.
Congratulations Mam! Don’t ya just love that new baby smell, a new car smell is ok but nothing compares to a fresh baby smell. Good luck on getting that quilt finished in time to bring her home in.
Beautiful!
Thanks Marina, I know exactly what you mean, nothing smells as sweet as
a new baby. As my oldest grandchild is now a grown up 9 year old, I am
looking forward to rocking another little baby.
Hey San, I have already been referring to myself as the great Mam
Hi Lynn, I know you are even more excited about your first grandchild.
Does that mean that Carl is Great Carl….don’t let that go to his head
Get in line Mom.
