Quilting Grandma 10-17-2010 12:47 PM

I have 15 grandkids ( 7 girls and 8 boys --ages 21 mo. to 28 years) and 4 greats (1 girl age 6 --3 boys ages 19 mo to 4). There are a couple of "steps" thrown in there somewhere, but I never bother to check..

I started quilting as a "youngster" of 24. Now I have 3-1/2 plus 2 step-grandchildren. I don't feel much older than 24 on most days. I homeschooled 5 kids with very little time to quilt, but I think I'm busier now. Yes, grandchildren are the greatest invention!

I have four, two boys who are 17 and 13 and two girls who are 8 and 6. They are the greatest!!

I did no quilting or sewing except for dollmaking until I retired. Now with 2 sons in their 50's, one daughter in her 40's 1 grando 20; one granddaughter in her 20's;(I brought her up); `1 grandson14'; one granddaughter 18; and last but not least, 1 Chinese who will be 6 in February.
I started quilting about 6 years ago.but just started hand embroidery even though I haave an embroidery machine.

Another grandmother here -- two boys, ages 13 and 9. I was a late starter to the quilting world. Did not start until about 8 years ago.

I love my grandkids....have 2 granddaughters and 1 grandson. The girls call me Grandma and the boy calls me Mamaw...love it!!

I quilted a little when my kids were young, but when the first granddaughter was on her way I started to quilt again, along with smocking, crocheting and knitting. Now I have a total of 3 gk's and the quilting is the only one I'm totally addicted to. That first one is ten, another girl 4 and my boy is 2 and ALL BOY!!!

Some how my answer didn't show up. I probably forgot to hit send. I have 2 sons and 2 daughter. The oldest son has a daughter 12 and a son 11 who has autism and a mental block. He has the mental capacity of a 18-24 month old. My oldest daughter has one son who is 9. The youngest lives with me.

TN Donna 10-17-2010 02:44 PM

You are truly blessed.

wanderingcreek 10-17-2010 02:45 PM

I have three adorable grandsons one of whom has lived with me since birth, They are almost 2, 4 and 6. I love them dearly but keep wishing for a granddaughter as I would love to make sweet little dresses like I made for my daughter when she was little but that may never happen but I still love the boys even though they are quite a handful. The 6 year old loves to help me make quilts and everyone that I make he wants to keep for himself.

theifner 10-17-2010 03:52 PM

4 grandchildren 4 step-grandchildren and 3 foster grandchildren

blue10moon9 10-17-2010 04:01 PM

Just wondered how many Grandparents are out there. Aren't Grandkids the greatest!
:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Oh, forgot to mention I have ten!

I have 7 grandkids. I don't see them as much now these past few years since retiring and then taking care of my parents.
Grand kids are awesome and I love them dearly. My project the next few months is to make each one a quilt. Two down and the rest to go.
It's a wonderful time in our lives....

I have 1 grandson, Alex 6years old and he has me tied around his little finger. Not that I SPOIL him or anything. ;-)

jschulte 10-17-2010 05:13 PM

I have 5, two girls are first and last and three boys in the
middle. I've made them all quilts. Age 2, 4, 5, 10, 13. The
poor 13 year old had to wait till she was 10 to get hers.
Time is everything.

sewnsew 10-17-2010 05:17 PM

SandraD 10-17-2010 05:29 PM

I have just one, but still have two kids living at home - one still in highschool. Work full-time, plus I'm an elected official (City Councilwoman) - and that's like a very busy part-time job. Crazy, crazy....but somehow I find time to quilt. I am looking forward more time for quilting.

glenda5253 10-17-2010 10:51 PM

I have three granddaughters, ages 13, 10 and 3. My 3yo DGD lives 600 miles away and we just visited on her BD last month.

It seems a couple of days ago her mom told her they had to wear jackets that morning and she was very distressed her dolly did not have a jacket and she was "feezin". So I got a call later that day with a 3yo on the line asking Grandma to make her dolly a jacket.

Guess what project I'm doing now. :?: :hunf: :D
