Baby showers for special people require special quilts be sewn with prayers and love!
The first was for the daughter of friends who are missionaries in Nicaragua. It is difficult for them to be away when their first granddaughter will be born! Once again, I used the Moda Pinwheel pattern with the prairie points. Rikki has decorated the nursery in pink and gray. I didn't expect her to use it as a wall hanging!
The second quilt was for the 2 year old grandson of the same friends. He is the son of Rikki's twin sister. Trisha has been going through an extremely difficult time in her life. In an email their mother (grandma) told me the toddler loves trucks. I had fabric left from Cole's quilt to I made a toddler size quilt for Greyson. He didn't have a special blanket of his own.
Today was the shower for a gal at church. Her mother-in-law is one of my very good friend. It was a fun afternoon. I had one flimsy together and decided I didn't like it. So up to the "fabric collection" I went where I found flannel I purchased 1 1/2 years ago when a local shop went out of business. It was easy and quick. The fabric is from the book, "Guess How Much I Love You."
Now the sewing machine and fabric will need to be put away until I finish our farm taxes! Then on to a Christmas tree skirt for a shower gift, a baby quilt for my next grandbaby coming in April/ May, and a for my nephew's baby due in August!
