I'm a grandmother again!  With Hannah Lyn making her way into the world, I now boast 3 beautiful granddaughters, and a wonderful grandson.  There is nothing more precious than grandchildren. 

Thought I'd share this story about my daughter, Corrie.  I was visiting about 1 1 /2 weeks after Hannah was born.  Corrie, baby and family, along with grandma and grandpa, had spent most of the day shopping and sight seeing.  By 3:00 I came home exhausted!  When I got up from my nap, I found my daughter in the sewing room...busy making a dress for Hannah to match a dress for her sister, Ruth, and a dress Corrie had made for herself!  She only had 3 hours before the baby shower that night!  Here's a picture of Ruth in her dress:

The three of them looked wonderful in their matching outfits that evening.

Here is another view showing the sleeve and back tie detail.  She combined a couple patterns from out of our heirloom sewing book "Pintucks & Lace, Using Heirloom Techniques on Today's styles".
