I'm pretty sure she will be our last grandchild. We have a girl on each end and 6 grandsons in the middle! We've had the last 3 within the last 2 years. There's just nothing like holding an infant!

Interesting....I hadn't heard the name before, but it's apparently one of the new ones.

How cute, doesn't look like Grandma is very happy in that picture especiallly since she "has" to hold the new baby.lol I love the pic. of Emery on her new quilt. Her little hand is up near her ear and it looks as if she is thinking "did I hear something about Granny teaching me how to make one of these when I get older". I love to watch a baby's hands and feet. Congrats to all of the family.

Adorable ... the quilt is too :P

KLO 03-23-2011 05:41 AM

What a cutie! And the quilt is great too. Looks like it has lots of texture going on (some chenille, maybe?) which a baby will love to fondle as they mature. I am going to keep that in mind for the next baby quilt I am called on to make.

Both are adorable, the Baby the quilt and grandma looks excited, Dottie Bug

Yes, I used chenille and some minky that has a swirly texture along with flannel. I started making the "texture" quilts for my grandbabies about 4 babies ago. My DDIL gave me the idea and they all love them. I want my quilts to be cuddled and used!

BTY, I also made some texture accessories to go with the quilt ... pictures are posted at http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-98284-1.htm

You have really given me some good ideas. I did make a taggy blanket for my grandson with lots of different ribbons going around all four edges. My daughter suggested it for her first born. Wish I had thought to use chenille and other textural fabrics for that blanket itself. And I love the elephant!!! That could really turn out to be a favorite stuff toy for a child. I can just see him or her rubbing their fingers and hands all over it. Nice work! Even though I think our family is done with grandbabies, I just found out that two women that I like very much are expecting so I think your quilt has inspired me to do something different this time.

Glad I could help. :-) I always enjoy making baby things.

Beautiful picture of you and your granddaughter. I adore babies. You are a beautiful grandmother. The quilt that you made is lovely. Did you make it from scratch or did you have a kit? We are expecting a new grandchild in November. We just found out. There is a ten year space between the two. My daughter is thrilled. We have 2 other granddaughters from my son and his wife. We were surprised about this new addition to the family. Hope and pray that they will be healthy.

Congratulations on the beautiful little girl.

Congratulations on the beautiful little girl.

I got the idea from a pattern in a book, but changed it so much it was completely different. It seems I never make anything exactly by the pattern ... or recipe. I always have to change it a bit.

Congratulations on your little new little surprise!

Thanks. I feel very blessed. My 3 children didn't marry young and I was about to give up on having any grandkids, but they finally got started. My 2nd son and his wife, who just had this baby, are both 39, and their boys are 8 and 7. I'm pretty certain that she will be our last grandchild, so we're going to spend as much time with her as possible!
