Design Wall Monday 11/15

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.

5 weeks 3 days to go

and she's looking it!

Happy to report she's doing well - so is baby.
Can hardly wait!

What a difference a few weeks make:

I hope you can see the difference:  My baby, Emily,  was 5 months here:
and now she is 6 months here.  Please say a prayer for her or keep her in your thoughts.  DGS Will came 9 weeks early and no one knows why.  It's good that she already weighs more now than she did when she went into labor for Will.  I'm hoping that is a good sign.  They're having another boy.

Two new babies in the family in the same year! First precious Lily in April and now BB in Dec.  They haven't picked a name yet, however Conan and Vincent are on the list.

I'm going to be a busy grandma!

It's a Boy!

Stephen called this morning and said Baby Nudge arrived at 4 AM. He weighed in at 8 lbs, 5 ozs and was delivered by water birth.

We are so excited! And no, don't know the name yet - they're seeing what fits him from their list. He has dark hair and blue eyes at this time. Pictures coming - they are so tired. Ay de mí!

Both baby and mom are fine. I'm posting a pic of a coverlet I made for DGS3. It is just cloth and flannel quilted at the squares and around the figures. I thought they could use it for the summer. Guess I'll have to get busy and make a real quilt promptly, and put the Sunbonnet Sue quilt away for later--LOL! More news as it comes.
