New shoes, new clothes, and new handmade baby quilt website. How every woman always needs another new pair of shoes or could use a new a brand new outfit or two, but designing that unique baby quilt website is not always on every women’s list.
“Once Upon A Time…” I have told those tales and read those wonderful and colorful stories, as a Mom, to my own children hundreds of times when they were youngsters. Today, I finished a handmade quilt by the same name. I captured those special memories of reading to my children, in years past, in this special handmade quilt I called, “Once Upon A Time…”
Finding the time to work on my handmade quilts in a busy schedule has always been my challenge.
In the last few years, my concentration has been on making handmade baby quilts, but the UFO of my blue and yellow queen sized bed handmade quilt kept calling to me from the closet – finish me – complete me – get me out of this closet already!!
To this Grandmother my most precious moments are those when my newborn grandson is in my arms. On these cold winter days, I have him snuggled close, wrapped in the handmade baby quilt that I had made many months ago.
And baby makes three… Mommy, Daddy, and the new baby just arrived but wait… we need to count me, the new Grandmother.
This quilter has been designing handmade baby quilts, and has been collecting the wonderful stories of those ecstatic Grandmothers, who have purchased my handmade baby quilts have told or wrote to me about their new grandchild, now I have my own grandson to love, cherish, and design a handmade quilt for.
Handmade Baby Quilt joins Black Friday
As I sit and browse the many online and newspaper ads deciding on my strategy for shopping at 4:00 a.m. shopping on Black Friday, I am also reminded that there are many mothers and grandmothers, who are unable to make those crazy hours of shopping frenzy. So a handmade baby quilt can join Black Friday and bring Unique Baby Quilt shopping to you.
Handmade Baby Quilt Tale – Home From Iraq
Thanksgiving is upon us, and Veteran’s Day a step behind, we all take a minute to reflect on what we have to be thankful for and how many individual sacrifices it has taken down through the decades, to secure the opportunities we all share, to sit together with our families and enjoy a dinner together in freedom.
Thank you to all those servicemen and women, veterans or active today and their families, for your dedication and service to our country. Read this blog, about one of your own young men and his family…
Memories are not always tucked in between the pages of a book. Today they are pressed in between the 20 squares finished on the t-shirt quilt. I am designing a t-shirt quilt for my daughter for her high school graduation. Amazingly enough the thoughts and good memories that fit into each 16 x 16 inch blocks were the t-shirts worn by my daughter as she participated in soccer at age 6, played volleyball in middle school, played on the traveling teams for soccer or on her HS teams.
