Christmas quilts for the grand-daughters
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.
Lucky you! Lucky Girls! Lucky Grandma!
Those quilts are beautiful and tell a tale of love, love, love.
Love your blog. Thanks for sharing.
Belated Merry Christmas. Happy 2010 to you all.

These are wonderful the girls are sure to treasure them.
Stumbled across this post – beautiful quilts – makes me want to give quilting a go. You know what it’s like though – I have all the materials but no time!
I love both of them. Your girls are so blessed with a mom and grandma, ahem… a mum and grandmum.
I must admit I was quite confused by the post title!! I thought you had gotten busy at a very early age!! Beautiful quilts and even more special as they were made with so much love.
