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.

Morning surprise


Up at 5:55 this am and what a surprise when I went to open the west facing window in our kitchen! Much brighter when I first saw them, but still there when I raced back with the camera. You can just see the second one to the right of the brighter one. What a good morning blessing!!

UFO #4 now complete


We're still waiting on grandbaby #3 to make an appearance and here is one ufo I finished to give to baby if it is a girl. My mother embroidered the squares and put the top together about 7 years ago when we were waiting for grandbaby #1. After two boys (which we love dearly),
I sandwiched the top, and quilted and bound it. All we want is a safe delivery for both mom and baby. Label will read: Made by Great Grandma Mary and quilted by Grandma Angie.

Before the New Year

As this is the next to the last day of 2025, I thought I'd report on the month of December now. Not to do with quilting, but still a mil...
