January 21, 2008 - Waiting for a grandson....
My new little grandson has not made his appearance yet, but the days are counting down and we should hear of his arrival sometime over the next 10 days or so.
As we live so very far away it will not be until April that we meet him face to face, but I am joyfully preparing for their visit! As we have hard floors I wanted to make a floor quilt that he could have a kick on, something soft and colourful. This is to be known as 'Nonna's Quilt' (my husband is of Italian descent), and will stay with us so that every grandbaby in the future has a special place to lay and play when they visit.
It has all been done by hand - slowly, and with much love and prayers. The quilt is 52" square, and the appliqued frogs, ladybirds, snails, leaves etc are all felt - so gentle to hand sew.
Thank you Lord for blessing me with grandchildren!

You tagged me. It is nice to meet you. The quilt is beautiful!! I'm sure your grandchildren will love it. They are blessed to have a grandmother who loves them and sews for them. My mother-in-law has made the quilts and bumper pads for all four of my children. I am saving them for when they are older. Both my grandmothers sewed for me and I still cherish special items!!
