It's been a long, long time!
My daughter and her husband increased their family of 3 to a family of 5 in February of 2015. My first granddaughter Hailey became the big sister to an adorable baby sister, Sadie May and a handsome little brother, Liam Raymond.
Gosh, are they fun! The doctors decided they needed to arrive early as they weren't gaining enough weight. Sadie May arrived first weighing 3 lbs 15 oz and Liam Raymond weighed 5 lbs 6 oz. They spent some time in the Neonatal unit of our hospital and then were able to come home.
Although this isn't a recent picture, it is one with all 3 of my Grandchildren in it. Those pics are hard to create with all 3 of them always going in different directions.
Once I found out that twins were coming, I started to plan what quilts I would make for them. For Sadie I knew I wanted to use a 'Swoon' block as my starting off point and add borders until I felt it was a good size for a baby quilt. My daughter said the colours she decided on for Sadie were rose and teal. Well, I just happened to have those beautiful colours in Bonnie and Camille's fabric collection, Ruby.
Next is Liam's quilt. I used Fig Tree & CO's Mini Sail Away Pattern and added borders to compliment the colours in the boats.
I backed both quilts with white flannel for warmth and a cozy feel.
I embroidered their name on each quilt to make them extra special and I'm so happy they are used every day.
Thanks for stopping by. Hope you're having a quilty day!
