Granddaughters Quilt Is Finally Finished
65Finished Quilt
Learning Tool Made With Love
Finally finished the quilt I have been working on for months for my youngest daughters youngest daughter...catchy isn't it! Between being sick and having a back that hurts constantly doesn't help with crafting or sewing projects.
I started by showing each stage that I was doing with the front with the painting of the alphabet and numbers one through ten. The back wasn't as fancy as time slipped away, just getting it finished was my objective. The quilt still won't get to her right away as they are redoing windows and their livingroom because of a leak. One less thing to keep track of and keep clean.
She won't be two until a couple months after the baby is born, so that may be a good time to send it to keep her mind off mommy and new siblin.
Now my daughter is going to have another child in 2010 so being creative will have to start over again at some point.

Gifted Grandma,

Thank you both nicomp and DeBorrah...it was fun to do :O)
That is a beautiful quilt and I am sure that Elizabeth will treasure it for a long time. Handmade from Grandma is a treasure always. Take care,
Thank you Carlaine it was a long time in the making. Kelly gave me some of the fabric during my last visit to Maine before my second surgery in November 2008 :O)
Beautiful quilt and it's large enough so that she can use it for years and years! I hope your back feels better soon. And I hope you share the baby quilt with us, if you make it.
Hello GG-nice to meet you. I'm curious about what part of NC you are living in? We could be neighbors. Thanks for following me. Gave me an opportunity to follow you back. I am attracted to your quilting hubs. I love quilts and I have made a couple of quilts myself back in the day. Nice hub. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Denise..we are just outside of Wilmington. My quilt making is of the simplist form :O) Don't follow any of the quilting rules, just mine.
