"Sometimes the occasion calls for two quilts."

Hello,

Sometimes you need to make two quilts. I used the same pattern, a "Bareroots" pattern called "Baby Things." I changed things around a bit, adding more word stitchery and doing double of some of the designs.

First I made a pink one.

 I had a fat quarter of the purple kite fabric that I purchased many years ago and the rest came from the pink box of fabric in my stash. I found the flowers already made up withe the vlisofix on the back. Can't remember what I was going to use them for.

 I hand quilted around the squares.

Plus around the flowers on the edge. I used a small yellow check fabric for the backing and binding.

Then it was time to make the blue one.

 Same pattern but added some ric-rac and the duck ribbon came from Lisa. The Teddy Bear fabric on the border was left over from a dress that I made Lucy when she was little. Yes I keep fabric, it does come in handy. You can't see in the photo as I chopped the top of it but I added some appliqued Teddy's from the border fabric to the top border.

 This one I hand quilted a little differently.

This one also has the yellow check fabric for the border and backing.  I had both quilts finished in time.

Because in the early hours of Sunday morning we welcomed our first Grandson born to Ainsley and Julian. A gorgeous little boy named Jacob Alasdair.

Please note:

I must mention when I did the post about being a Nana we had no idea that Ainsley was expecting. We received the lovely phone call a week or so later. Pauline was the only blogger who was told and she was sworn to secrecy. Pauline has met Ainsley and Julian and two of my other children.

So now it is official I answer to Nannie.

Happy days.
