I am retired and have all the time in the world :D :lol: :lol: :-P :lol: ....NOT! I also have 3 children with a total of 8 GC. I told them a long time ago that the quilts I will make should not be considered birthday, wedding, Christmas, etc quilts. They will get them when they get them. It is still hard to do because 5 of the GC are in one family! I just finished a flannel quilt for my oldest GS (see Pictures) who will be 12 the first week in August....I am thinking seriously about waiting until the last of August to send it to him, after his birthday....haven't decided yet.
Of course there is BIL, SIL, etc...
I have kits (with/without) fabric with patterns which have their names on them....if I don't have time (or inclination) to make them before I go, at least they will know I was thinking of them....
