Hi all– I think I’ve already mentioned (a few times!!) that our daughter Ani is expecting a baby girl! I couldn’t be more happy and excited! So when she came down from San Francisco in July, we trekked on over to the huge M&L fabric shop so she could pick out fabric for a baby quilt. And here’s how it went…
First, Ani loaded down with fabric and batting at M&L. (Larry and her Brian came along, but are not big fabric shoppers, so they found the donut shop across the parking lot!)
We hurried home (after a stop a local taqueria) and cut out the squares to be stitched into the quilt.
So this summer, I stitched away, a lot of it sitting in from the the t.v. and watching the Olympics! And finally it was done. The front is quilting cotton and the back, fuzzy flannel.
And a couple weekends ago, Ani opened the quilt at a beautiful baby shower with friends and family.
Now I’m just waiting to take a picture of the new sweet little baby girl all tucked up in her quilt! Can’t wait!
P.S. I really posted this for you Daisy– hope to see pics of your baby quilt soon!! xox

Rhonda, you made that??? Wow, you are so talented. Open an Etsy shop. That’s a beautiful quilt. Great work.
Hi Suzanne! thanks bunches– I’m such a slow quilter, I’d make about 15 cents an hour if I sold quilts on Etsy! Ha ha!
It’s beautiful Rhonda!
Gosh thanks Lacey! Hope all’s well with you and your sweet family. xo
Oh Rhonda, what a beautiful quilt, one that is made with so much tender love! Your little grand baby girl is so fortunate to have you as a grandma. I especially like the picture of Ani holding the quilt and you looking up at this new mommy to be, with such admiration! 💖💖💖
Hey Andi– thanks, thanks,–you know I can scarcely wait for that little baby to arrive! Hope I can be all the grandma that you are to those 4 new door! xox
Best quilt ever!! Haha we spent so long in M&L… I think the boys thought we died in there. It turned out super beautiful – thanks for all the love you put into it 🙂
Hey you! It was big fun– can’t wait to see “P-momo” wrapped up inside it! hugs hugs.
Lovely. I’m thinking of learning in the new year. We’ll see.
Rhonda, you are so talented! That is such a beautiful quilt and so sweet that you made it for a very specific and special little girl. What a wonderful gift that will be in the family for years (generations, even!) to come.

Hi Rhonda – what a beautiful quilt! I know that was stitched with plenty of love! You are a woman of many talents! – Kat
Oh thanks Kat– really it’s pretty amateur –my grandmother who quilted all the time, called my quilts “serviceable!” But I think they are cozy enough. The most fun part of the whole project is anticipating that baby on they way! Happy week ahead friend… xo
Rhonda! This is so special! I love the quilt, and I know that baby will love it, too!! You made me smile when I saw you mention my name! Thank you! 😊 xoxo
I’ve loved seeing your quilts Daisy–it’s a joy to have a new baby to sew for. Thought you’d understand that… xo
I sure do! I’m hoping to upload the pics of the quilt I made for my youngest granddaughter so I can FINALLY post them! haha 🙂 xo
Can’t wait! I’ll be checking in to see it Daisy… Do you have 2 grandchildren, in Ohio and at home?? My daughter in Wisconsin is getting married in August, so I’m about to launch into a wedding quilt (bigger project than the little baby one.) So glad to hear what you’re up to… take care blog-friend! xo
