I'm going to try to get these pictures in one topic but don't know if I can or not. At Thanksgiving I gave my grand childred that are out of high schools the quilts that I have been making them. I did it at Thanksgiving because at Christmas there is so much going on. There was seven out of the nine that was there.

what a lovely family with beautiful quilts. I am sure the quilts will be treasured, you are a sweet grandma.

KellyK 12-04-2010 08:00 AM

My, you are a regular genius at matching up colors to folks, they all have quilts that match more or less the clothes they are wearing! Even the bottom picture, the yellow shirt looks so bright and cheerful, and so does the quilt!

What a lovely bunch, and from what I could see, beautiful quilts!

Japonica 12-04-2010 08:02 AM

Mary:
I am sure those grandchildren loved the quilts. What I could see of them they are fantastic, so are the kids. They all looked very happy. Nice to see a picture of you. Now I know who I am quilting tops for. Have a great holiday. Had knee surgery last week. Doing fine. Still in some pain. Should be ready to sew again after the holidays. Keep in touch

Wow, your quilts are all beautiful, and so are your Grandchildren.
I bet they love their quilts and will cherish them forever. Nice to see you in the pictures with your Granchildren too.

Beautiful you, beautiful grandkids, and beautiful quilts!!!

deltadawn 12-04-2010 09:55 AM

Fabulous!

emsgranny 12-04-2010 10:02 AM

What great pictures!!! You were right to give them at Thamksgiving - your way of showing thanks to them that they are here for you!!! They look like great kids or should I say young adults. They will cherish the quilts and better yet cherish you for giving them a gift made with so much love. Oh by the way the quilts are just gorgeous. I plan on making quilts for my grandchildren too~~I was thinking about making them for their wedding presents but they are all still young ages 20 months thru 14. I may have to do what you did and give them maybe for high school graduations or just thanksgiving. I have time to think about timing but I do want to start on some soon - one never knows - my brother passed suddenly at 52 - I know life is too short to put things off

RedGarnet222 12-04-2010 10:06 AM

Oh Mary,
I loved these pictures! Your grandchildren are really special. I honestly think you caught the personality of each child in the quilt you gave them. It was amazing to look at each frame and see how well you caught the perfect color and design. That takes an art which you have.
Thanks for sharing this with us. (me)

ps) Am I crazy or does the second pictured granddaughter look like your twin?

great aunt jacqui 12-04-2010 11:41 AM

oh how wonderful, family and quilts.

shawnemily 12-04-2010 11:46 AM

Beautiful quilts from a beautiful lady. Your family is blessed and so are you.

TN Donna 12-04-2010 11:48 AM

Beautiful quilts and a beautiful family too.

cat-on-a-mac 12-04-2010 11:48 AM

Mary, it was wonderful to see all these pictures. How long did you work on all those quilts? It sure like like all the kids really appreciate your efforts.

I have 7 grandchildren under the age of 11. I was thinking of maybe making each one of them a quilt for their 13th birthday (that way, there wouldn't be more than 1 per year!)

quilting cat 12-04-2010 11:51 AM

And what a great way for each of them to remember how young they were when Grandma made that quilt!
Merry Christmas to all of you!@

lisainmo 12-04-2010 11:54 AM
