Do you have German roots by any chance? Oma is what I used to call my Grannies in Germany. :)
No, but my husband is Dutch and they call grandparents Oma and Opa also. I like it because when our grandchildren talk about us everyone knows they mean us and not their other grandmothers and grandfathers - their are 5 grandmothers and four grandfathers ( that includes greatgrandmothers and great grandfathers.) We lived in Germany - Hahn- for five years. It is so beautiful there. We lived in Holland for six years - Maastrict, Stein and Uden. It is also beautiful there. We lived in Italy for 2 years and it has a beauty also. Now we are in beautiful Arizona and if you have ever been here you know the beauty is very different from other states.
Oma66, what a wonderful tutorial! Thank you so much for taking the time to make it and share with your quilter friends. I am soooooooooooo gonna use this method.
Oh, in my family, my mother is known as "Jeddah," which is Arabic for grandmother. My folks used to live in Saudi Arabia and they picked up the name there. It helped to distinguish her from the other grandmother -- both grandmothers lived in the the same city with the grandchildren.
