Imagine my surprise when I found out I was going to be a grandma
again! My daughter and husband just got their
youngest in kindergarten – it wasn’t that they were trying to get pregnant, but weren’t doing anything
to prevent it either. Both figured if “it” happened - fine, but since "it" hadn't by now, it wasn’t going to.
What do they say about famous last words or a big’ol Karma bite on the
keester? Not only she did find out she’s
pregnant, but she’s having twins!
A few
days ago my daughter shared the sonogram results – both girls! Now I can start on their first baby
quilts! I’ve been requested NOT to do
anything in pink. Yeah! Like my daughter, I’m sick of seeing pink and
more pink on baby girls. It’s over-done and I'm ready to move on to other colors.
It’s time to bring on the baby quilts!
Daughter Jamie, has requested I make miniature baby versions of
the 1930’s repro I’m making for the spare bedroom. A little surprised…. I’m a repro lover, but
the 30-something crowd is usually into the Amy Butler, Kaffe and Tula Pink
designers – not the Aunt Grace line! Am
I starting to look cool and hip to her? Well ......doubtful, but I have a great stash of 30’s and really looking forward to
scrapping up some baby quilts.

patches and a children’s print for the setting half square. Hmm, this grandma’s got the creative juices
flowing.
Lastly, I want to share my Mother’s Day gift from my
youngest. Sam surprised me with a
gorgeous bouquet of flowers and a new rotary cutter. Does this 25 yr old young man know his mother
or what? What I would have given to see
this 6’5” dude walk in a quilt shop, locate and purchase a rotary cutter!!
