When my grandchildren turn 8 years old I make them a quilt. I have 15 GC. Jonas is number 7 to receive a quilt. I have 4 turning eight in the next two years. I best be getting busy.
10494I have started this tradition too. I give each expecting daughter or daughter-in-law a small quilt for the newborn. Then as each grandchild turns 2 they get a twin size quilt for their birthday. You all look so happy in your photo. hugs, Susan

I think we have gotten all of the GC. They range in ages 9 mon to 14. I've contemplated wedding quilts, and have several tops made. We'll have to see what health and energy is then.
Yes I am back home from China. Got home in June. We made another 3 week trip about two weeks ago. Vacationing in Thailand and Hongkong.

I love your designs. I need to get back to digitizing. I became a bit discouraged when a company rejected my designs, and then I had a bucket of trouble upgrading my Bernina software.

Yes, Jonas wanted Super Heros. I had quite a time finding fabric. I ended up using T-shirts for the blocks. They were so colorful, an on sale at the end of back to school sales. I was able to get a block from the front and the back.
