Phew it has been a hectic few days, but with the Grace of God we have gotten through them. My daughter had her baby early, 6 weeks early, so we were a little preoccupied with things other than quilting. I did sit down last friday and start a quilt which I call a coverlet because a) it is only 2 layers - no batting, and b) it is to cover little Alan Vincent Stewart's layette unit to deflect the light in his corner of the NICU room. Here is the quilt
The back is flannel and I clipped the edges as a one does a rag quilt in place of binding. And here is a photo of Alan, our newest sweetie:
He's doing great for a preemie - breathing on his own and eating good.
Needless to say, I'll be happy if I get one shop hop block made this week as otherwise I will be busy.
Alan is precious!
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable little boy Angie and I do like the quilt as well. It is very attractive.

What a sweetheart he is. The pictures remind me so much of those I took of my daughter who was 5 weeks early. She's 11 now and you'd never know that she started her life out in the NICU.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear the wee baby is doing well. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweetie. I too had a 6 week early preemie who spent a month in the nursery before he was ready to come home.....a whopping 4lbs 2 oz at birth,now 42. Glad to hear he's doing eating and doing well.
ReplyDeleteAww, what a cutie! and the quilt too!! :^) Glad things are going well!
