I have 5 3 boys and 2 girls adding 3 next fall when my daughter gets married again.

lazyquilter 10-15-2010 08:01 PM

My two grand daughters are 23 and 25 1/2 and they still have the quilts that I made them when their were 7 years and 8 1/2... I have two other grand daughters from my son's marriage and she had the two girls. I now have 2 great grand sons from her oldest daughter. So far every one has their quilts (but wants another) table runners, but daughter and DIL want more, and naturally the 2 great grand sons are awaiting matching pillow cases to match their quilts. I think I may be able to finish a quilt that I want for myself.. if I'm lucky.

Yes! I know pets are very precious to their owners. :-D

My parents had six girls. In their retired years they had a dog named Sabrina, whom they always referred to our sister. It didn't sit too well with me but she did bring them a lot of pleasure and that made it ok.

That is great!

leiladylei54 10-15-2010 11:29 PM

We have two....only get to see one, though. :( But the one that we see.....such a cutie and the sole reason for me to begin quilting. I always swore up and down that I would NEVER quilt.

And, if I knew grandchildren were so great, I would have had them first before having our children!!! LOL

tooMuchFabric 10-15-2010 11:57 PM

1 DGS age 19mo. I keep him while Daddy sleeps and works, so I quilt on my "off days."
He's precious.
And "Gramma's Big Boy."

I have 6! One beautiful DGD who's 10 going on 20...and five handsome DGS. Two of them are 8, one 5, one 19 mos and one 9 mos. (I'd like one more pink one but I don't see that happening.)
When they call me Grandma it's like sweet music to me!

Late Bloomer 10-16-2010 03:05 AM

Aren't grandchildren the greatest?? We are fortunate to have 5 grandsons (all teenagers) and my daughter has taken in another 16 year old boy so we now have 6. The newest will be getting his quilt for Christmas as all the other boys have their queen size quilts made by grandma. The quilts are far from perfect as I am new to this, but they love them anyway and that is all the reward I need. I told them that they should think of the quilts as grandma hugging them and loving them whenever they are wrapped in them. We have truly been blessed.

SSTeacher 10-16-2010 03:21 AM

Yes, grandchildren are wonderful. We have 2 granddaughters and 3 grandsons--Katie (21); Matthew (18); Michael (17); Austin (13); and Mattesyn (8). Two quilts done and three to go. They are all precious to us.
