Hello all– Finished a quilt for our lovable new grand-guy– baby Otto. Thought you might like to see it. I love stitching on a quilt, thinking about who’s going to wrap up in it, praying for them as it gets quilted together bit by bit.
And here’s that Otto with his pretty mom. Blessings on all your days ahead dear baby boy.
The Thankful Heart 
Hello Rhonda! It looks absolutely amazing! I love it and I am sure, he is going to love it as well! 🙂 How long did it take you to make it? Kisses from here! 🙂
Hi Vero– I think I stitched on it for about 3 months. It’s so fun to work on and gives me an excuse to turn on the t.v. while I quilt! When I make a full size adult quilt I figure it’s about 100 hours of hadn’t work. take care Vero– always love hearing from you! xo
Oh, wow! That’s quite some time. But it looks amazing ☺️ I have lot of nice old animated t-shirts, cotton ones, and as I can see your quilt, I am thinking if to try it as well, from those t-shirts. We kind of don’t want to throw them away as they have really unique pictures, but it’s not possible to wear them anymore… ☺️ so do I!! ☺️ You are so inspiring ❤️
Oh you have a great start Vero– fabric and the idea!! Would be cozy for Canito to wrap up in! Lt us know if you do it!! xox
I will definitely let you know 🙂 I have already checked t-shirts! 🙂
It is beautiful…thanks for sharing.
Hey Debi!! It was fun to work on it– and to get to see the new guy. thanks for lunch last week!! xox
Absolutely beautiful and a real heirloom. How can he fail to be warm in a quilt made with such love. I adore the “label” of his name and date
Thanks– so kind! Loved your potato gnocchi recipe– they looked super! xo
Love the quilt Rhonda!
Hey Glenda– thanks friend. How are you doing by now?? Hope you’re on the mend. hugs hugs. Talk to you Sunday…
I love it! I am just starting to quilt. Working on my second one now.
Hi Sue! So fun to hear from you! So fun to quilt– are you taking classes?? I just learned halfway watching my grandma, so my quilts are pretty “rustic” but I love making them for the family. What kind of quilt are you working on now?? xo
Baby Otto will love this Rhonda. It looks fabulous 🌼🌼🌼
Hi Brigid! thanks thanks– I hope it keeps him cozy and warm! How’s your weekend going?? We’re off to a birthday dinner in a bit– hope you have some fun plans! hugs hugs!
Enjoy Rhonda. I had a lovely night out on Friday to listen to 4 choirs in concert. Excellent. Going on a mini break to Tory Island tomorrow as weatger forecast is great. 🌼
That sounds fun Brigid!! Do you take a ferry to get there?? I’ll be checking to see it we get to see the pictures! Enjoy!! xox
I will be on that ferry in 3 hours Rhonda and you will see posts and lots of pictures. 🌼
Looking forward to seeing it Brigid!! xo
It’s gorgeous Rhonda! So perfect. He’s going to keep that his entire life. So neat to think about.
That’s what I hope Lacey! xo
So cute!
HI Nancy!! So fun to hear from you! thanks. It was really fun to work on… (Next time at Lit Group we need to sit together so I can catch up with you!) xox

So Cute.
Thanks Lori!! Fun to find your blog!! I’m a very amateur quilter and always like to find new ideas!! xo
Oh so precious, baby, mom and blanket!!!
Hi Lucinda!! thanks thanks! Liked your changing weather post! Hope you are snug at home! hugs!
How sweet of you Rhonda! And I love the quilt – so beautiful! Thanks for sharing 😘😘😘
Hi Lilly -thanks. It was fun to work on it! xo
What a handsome grandson you have! I love the quilt and the colors as well. My mom crafts lovely quilts and I would like to learn from her someday. Is it hard to do? I’m not much of a seamstress though.
Hey Mary– I have friends who take fancy quilting classes and make involved patterns and they are so beautiful– I think those are hard!! But I just do simple serviceable quilts and it’s easy– just takes a little time. Do you have any of your mom’s quilts?? I have a couple from my grandma that I love. hugs!
That’s precious to have some from your grandma! Yes, my mom gave me two beautiful quilts. One was made about 8 years ago for our bed, one side is an evergreen color and the flip side has creams, pale green and yellow. I also have a deep blue smaller quilt that I keep on my bed. She made a t-shirt quilt for my nephews when they graduated high school, all from their sports shirts. I want her to make one for Branden when he graduates from college, as he has many college t-shirts. Blessings to you, friend. Have a wonderful day! ❤
What a fun idea Mary!! I’d bet he’s love that and those shirts have got to have a lot of memories. I agree– those quilts from family are the sweetest. hugs from here friend!
Sending hugs right back to you! Happy days!
Oh Rhonda – this turned out absolutely beautiful! I love that you used the black and white – the colors that newborns can actually see! I am sure this will be cherished for years to come. That cute Otto is lucky to have you as his grandma. -Kat
Thanks thanks Kat– you are always so kind and encouraging… It was super fun to stitch up. Hope you’re enjoying some mild fall weather there. (I’m waiting for a fire in the fireplace evening!). hugs hugs!
That is absolutely breath taking! You have a gift of the craft. I wish I were creative. My oldest son is very creative. He can make something beautiful out of anything. That he inherited from his grandmother. I can’t wait see more on your blog ☺
Thanks C.E.– so kind. Checked on over to your blog and loved the post about being a writer. so good to hear from you!
What a stunning cool quilt. Lovely done, grandma!
Thanks friend– you are always so encouraging Sophie! xo
This is Beautiful!
Thanks Rebecca! so kind.
