You can see there was a different fabric used as a background each month. So dd asked me to make a quilt (twin/single size) for when Our Little Munchkin goes into a big girls bed.
Knowing how fast I sew I figured I had better make a start on it soon. So my first job was to wash all the fabric.
So for the next few Thursday's I am putting everything else aside and sew all these fabrics into a quilt top. I had got a pattern in mind of what I am going to do, I just need to get it all done!!! Wish me luck.
Our Little Princess and Our Little Man will be back from India in a week's time, so looking forward to seeing them again. I bet they have grown.
Here is Our Little Man's 6 month old photo:
Here they are both together:

How fun, sounds like a wonderful project! I love the idea of taking a picture for each month. How fun to be a grandma! :)
Lovely pics of the children.
I love all that fabric ! are the shirts you mentioned on my blog in amongst that lot ?
I like to lay my fabrics out and just 'look' at them for a couple of days, then inspiration usually strikes, then impatience 'cos want it all done yesterday.
Gorgeous kidlings! I could only wish my legs were so long as theirs.
Can't wait to see the quilt!
So cute! It only took 29 years to get a quilt made for my son, and I didn't do it! Can't wait to see the results!

The grandkids are very cute! Very smart of you to set aside the time to work on the quilt!
Making a quilt from all of the fabric is such a great idea.
Can't wait to see the pattern.
I try to set aside a certain amount of time each day to do something in my sewing room, projects get finished a lot faster.

Where's the time gone that the wee ones could grow so much?!

Just sitting here with our Lorelei...she is coloring and I was glancing and seen this...these fabrics will make a beautiful quilt. I can't wait to see what you are making with them.
I bet the Princess and her little brother will have grown, too...and bet they will be glad to see you guys, too.
Aaaaaaawwwww! That pretty much sums it all up!
Cutie pies!
Cute shots of the kids!
Adorable kids !
How quickly they grow! Can't belive it's time for a big girl bed already! Can't wait to see the finished quilt!
Cute kids. Can't wait to see the finished quilt.
My gosh...they are both so cute!
quilting has become very popular, I made one giant size for my daughter.
What a great project, Gill! And I absolutely adore the photos of the children. :)
Your grandchildren are adoreable.
What a lovely thing to take a picture each month. Loved seeing all your fabric over the rails.
Good luck with your sewing.

While I can do many things, I will confess that quilting, crocheting, knitting or even sewing are not among any of my talents. I admire your dedication and you surely have a job ahead of you, but all for a good cause. Cute grandkids too.
