Obviously, I don’t have any grand-daughters (at 41, I suppose I’m technically old enough but whew!  that’s not the case) but my mother certainly does – my two beautiful girls.  Mum made each of them a quilt for Christmas.  She was a little worried that it may be a bit like bringing coals to Newcastle, but since I haven’t even begun the embroidery for the quilts I eventually plan to make the girls, I assured her that the girls would be thrilled to have quilts of their own now – especially ones made by their very special Grandma.

Mum made an eye spy quilt for Stella.

She is thrilled about all the “amimals” on her quilt. I can see many hours ahead finding them all and the other objects there are to spy.

Clare’s quilt is a reversible, quilt-as-you-go quilt Mum made at a class at her favourite patchwork shop.

The other side has softer colours.

I especially like the all the little girls faces.

The girls were thrilled with their quilts – Stella had her day and night sleeps wrapped up in hers while we were away at our family Christmas get-together, and Clare has spent every night under hers since. There is love sewn into every stitch. Thanks so much Mum.
