Robert and I are in TX for a few days visiting his youngest daughter, Jacque, and squeezing the newest addition to the family, Evan, born just a month ago. He must be the most content baby ever since all the pictures we've seen are of him asleep! Can't wait to meet him and see what his big brother, Eli, has to tell us.
,
To celebrate another grandchild (since Evan missed being in the Layers of Love book by just a few months) we're giving away a Layers of Love book this week. Comment here on grandchildren - yours or in general -to win. I'll have pictures to share of Evan with his eyes open next week!
The only thing that would draw me away from the beach earlier than planned (with a 13+ hour car ride ... in one day, no less!) would be my grands. Those 4 have stolen my heart!
ReplyDeleteWe have 2 sweet little grandsons, they sure do steal your heart! The oldest one slept a lot when he was a baby so that is what we have pix of most too!
ReplyDeleteLove babies and love my grand children, I have 2 in TX.
ReplyDeleteMy only 2 grands are across the continent so we share layers of love via Skype as often as possible. Just a few minutes having them in sight and sound keeps the love flowing.
ReplyDeleteMy Grandma Hope Chest continues to grow because I don't have any grandkids yet. My daughter (34) & son (33) have yet to bless me! I hope they're listening! Hahahahaha!!!!
ReplyDeleteNothing sweeter than grandkids. My oldest daughter is having her fourth baby this week on Thursday if she doesn't go into labor before then. My youngest daughter has 3 boys. All total we will have 7 grands ages 7 years and younger and with only 1 girl.
ReplyDeleteGrandchildren are just that....GRAND. Love all 4 of mine.
ReplyDeleteYour little Evan is ADORABLE!! I have three daughters...one got married in August so fingers are crossed that I get one of these little guys and SOON!
ReplyDeletePaulette
No grandkids here, but I enjoy all my great nieces and nephews!
ReplyDeleteI have 6 grandchildren, 5 girls, who do craft but not a single quilter yet. One grandson at Mizzou and should graduate this May. They are the treasures of our lives. They grow so fast, tiny like Evan then before you know what happened, college. Love all you designs, Maggey
ReplyDeleteCONGRATS TO YOU!
ReplyDeleteTHANKS FOR A NEAT GIVEAWAY!

Evan is a sweetie! We have four granddaughters. I have a red & white quilt that was used 13 years ago for our first GD to lay on and crawl on...it became our all year 'round Picnic Quilt. The 3 & 5 yr olds had a sleepover this past weekend and when we were ready for lunch they asked, "Where's the Picnic Quilt?" Quilts are such great memory makers! Thanks for the sweet giveaway.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the new little one!!! Grandkids are the BEST! Our grandson just got a package that I had sent and he was so excited! He said, "You sent a really big package." (one of the priority envelope) Guess to big it was big and he counted that it had 12 presents in it. LOL!!!!
ReplyDeleteEvan is adorable. We have 4 beautiful granddaughters. Enjoy your visit the the grandbabies.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to rediscover the world through the eyes of a child someday when I have grandkids. Hopefully in just a couple of years!
ReplyDeleteA lovely photo, enjoy getting to know the latest addition to your family. I am blessed with 2 grandchildren, twins, a boy and a girl. At 6 years old they believe they know everything and we love being entertained by them. Grandchildren are just so special.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't get better than Grandkids! All the fun without the day to day grind! What a cute photo!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to have a grandchild...you must be so excited! My grandma was the sweetest person on earth. Hope I can be the same to some little one someday.
ReplyDeleteI have a 15 yr old son, being a granma someday is on my bucket list.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the new addition, he's precious. I don't have any grandchildren but am looking forward to them. Nothing better than seeing the wonder of new discoveries through the eyes of little ones.
ReplyDeleteI have two grandchildren and they are a joy. I am amazed at how they have stolen my heart.
ReplyDeleteGrandTreasures is what I call mine! 4 grandsons, four granddaughter and one great grandson ranging from 30yrs down to 3yrs. They all live 4hrs to 14 hrs away so time spent together is precious!
ReplyDeleteI don't have any grandchildren yet as none of my children are married yet BUT, my oldest son is getting married in Jan so hopefully they will be on the way soon! Can't wait!
ReplyDeleteI have 8 grand kids and all are precious. Gods reward for having our kids!!!
ReplyDeleteI have 7 grand kids, with # 8 due in Dec. And 4 greats. My goodness, sure sounds like a lot. I am so blessed. Don't see them often, as we live 5 1/2 to 14 hrs away. And we are not retired, so it is work, work, and work some more on the ranch. I am married to such a tough man. Enjoy that new grandbaby
ReplyDeleteGrand kids are very special people. You let them away with things you would not have let their parents away with LOL. They can put a smile on your face when you did not think smiling was possible.Love them.
ReplyDeleteSo far, I am Grandchildless....but possibilities in the near future! All my friends LOVE their Grandbabies! I can hardly wait!!
ReplyDeleteMy grandchildren have changed my life. No matter what we are doing, one call for watching or helping with them, and we are OFF! They are a families biggest blessings!
ReplyDeleteHi! I have a set of identical twin grand babies, girls. They were preemies, 1 lb. each. Now 4 yrs. old and just beautiful. I'm am forever now known as "memaw" and loving every moment. lol I've made them two quilts each so far and bears and dresses... So much fun. Love your fabrics!
ReplyDeleteGrandchildren are so special. Unfortunately all mine live a distance with the closest (and newest at only 8 months old) being a 4 hour drive. I miss them all the time and wish I could see them more often.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your new grandchild! My comment about grandchildren is . . . I'm going to get one! Next February! I'm so excited and I've already started sewing and knitting like crazy for this little grandson. We can't wait to meet him.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! We have 13!!! They are the best ever! My 11 year old grandson went to shop hop with me last year, won a pack of fat quarters, made a quilt, (he even quilted it in my longarm) and entered it in HMQS! I love spending time with these amazing kids and sharing traditions and talents with them
ReplyDeleteLynne - we have ONE granddaughter, and she is such a joy! She lives 1600 miles from us, and we miss her so much. Enjoy the new Grandboy - they grown up so fast. Dee
ReplyDeleteI have heard that grand kids fill a hole that you never knew you had. That is so true. Our sweet Anabelle Marie has done that for us. I love my grand baby and can't wait to have more.
ReplyDeleteGrandchildren are our reward for getting older. They are the sweetest things this life has given to us. We have ten and they are all teenagers now. It has been so much fun watching them grow and change into the wonderful young people we are so proud of.
ReplyDeleteAs a child I thought my grandma was just wonderful, so much so that my plans for life were to grow up and be a grandma! I've been blessed with 11 grandchildren of my own.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweetie! Sadly, it doesn't look like there will be grand children in my future for a while--just can't get my boys to settle down!!
ReplyDeleteI have seven adorable grandchildren from 18 to 2. Two of them are doing sewing lessons with me and we are have a wonderful time! Congrats on your newest!!
ReplyDeleteI have 9 grands and 3 great-grands. Sewing and quilting for them is one of the most enjoyable things of my life. Kiss that new baby!! Jeannine Sims aka j9knits
ReplyDeleteWe were blessed with the arrival of seven grandchildren within the space of five years(three families). That kept me busy making baby quilts, that 's for sure. Now I have the joy of getting ready for number eight, due next April. I am teaching my five year old granddaughter to sew. Sure hope she will catch the quilting bug like her mother and me.
ReplyDeleteMy first and only grandchild just turned one and she's a beauty!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your new grandson...he is adorable! Sadly, I didn't know any of my grandparents. My two boys are just out of college and starting their lives so I will have to wait a little while for grandchildren. I can't wait!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your newest addition to the family! My 2 grandsons are 9 hrs away, but get there when we need a grandma/grandpa fix.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful for you....I'll be a grandmother for the first time in another month!
ReplyDeleteOur son just recently got engaged so am hoping for some grandchildren in the not too distant future. Congratulations on being a Grandma again.....and he has the same name as my brother!
ReplyDeleteMy two granddaughters, 6 and 1, are growing up in Texas, so far from me in Washington!! I get to go and care for them both in January and February while their parents are away on military duty! I am really looking forward to some uninterrupted time with them!! There is nothing like being a grandparent!!! Congratulations on the new grand - so special!!!
ReplyDeleteEvan is adorable! I do not have any grandchildren, so I usually "adopt" any that I can.
ReplyDeleteOur 8th grand baby is due in just three weeks. I get a new life to snuggle! I love being a Grammy.
ReplyDeleteI have 4 grandchildren and they makey lid complete. I WOULD LIKE ONE OF THOSE PINK SEWING MACHINES. I left you a message. My email is jlblvn at gmail dot com.
ReplyDeleteoh, he is so sweet. congrats!
ReplyDeleteI am a new grandma. I have a 6 month old grandson. I just love kissing him.
I have three grandchildren, 1 almost grandson, and two great grand sons. They always make my life worth living. b.j.day68@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to you and your family! A new baby is always such an exciting gift.
ReplyDeleteA new grandson- how wonderful! My 2 grandsons live far away (in Alaska!) but are so close in my heart. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteHow adorable! Nothing is better than a new baby in the family! Enjoy your time with your kiddos!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, he is adorable!
ReplyDeleteI bet you have already made a quilt for him too!
Evan is a wonderful name! (I have an 8 year old son named Evan) Have fun in TX!!! Grandchildren are a blessing, and I cannot wait until, Lord-willing, we have a house full of them. Right now though, I'm savoring these years while my little blessing is still home with me. The time flies entirely too fast. :)
ReplyDeleteYour grandson is adorable! I have four grand kids so far - 2 boys and 2 girls. Love them all! The newest granddaughter is just 5 weeks old. Another daughter is expecting a girl in December. Enjoy watching them all learn and grow!
ReplyDeleteI have purchase the Layers of Love book, however, I have a question...Why do the directions say "Do not top stitch in seam allowance"? Why not?
ReplyDeleteCarol - When stitching the layered pieces, it is only necessary to sew close to the raw edge that will be exposed once the block is assembled. There is no need to topstitch the layered piece in the seam allowance. Check out the stitching in the diagrams in the book. Hope that helps. If not, call me!
DeleteLynn, I raised 9 children and they have given me 37 grandchildren and 3 greats. I am so blessed. You can see that making quilts for them is an on going process. I love your fabric and layer patterns.
ReplyDeleteWell, we have 4 grandchildren........and they have all been content babies.......what did we do differently back in the day? I have made them each a quilt to celebrate their birth............may need to start in making them each their second quilts. Your book could be a big help in that endeavor. Thanks for the chance.....Kristy
ReplyDeleteOur first grandchild was born in March of this year and she could not be more precious. Such a gift!

My sixth grand baby lives a hundred miles from us, but that doesn't stop me. I travel down and back every other week to care for him while his parents work. I just don't want to miss a thing! He is precious with red, curly hair!
ReplyDeleteI'm a grandmother in-wishing only - my two are 23 and 17 and hopefully a long way off from having children - but I can't wait until the day I get to spoil my own little ones!!!!
ReplyDeleteWe live in Austin and have 14 grandchildren so far!! They all are within driving distance thank goodness. I am very blessed!!
ReplyDeleteWe have 6 grandchildren and 1 great. Luv them all!! They are growing up fast. Thank you for the chance to win
ReplyDeleteRita Sussman

ReplyDeleteLynne - I just found you on Moda's Facebook! Your cottage is so cute : ) We have 5 grown children and our younger daughter just announced our 11th grandchild will arrive in April 2015! My sister and I have sewn for over 40 years and are loving learning everything we can about quilting - we live in Texas and may find our way to your cottage in Kansas!! The Pink Bernina is SO CUTE - I sew on a 1950's Singer. My only 2 granddaughters live in Africa - it would be fun to teach them to sew on this little machine. I just sent over a quilt for the younger one - she's only 4 mos!! It was my first quilt to free motion quilt - it was SO fun!! jmschwarz@tx.rr.com
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing quite like being a grandparent, as I am sure every grandparent has said. There is a feeling in my heart that no one else has ever been able to elicit, I love them both completely and with each one it is for different reasons. I pray for them every day and for the world that they will live in. I also hope that they will meet the right person who will love them w/o reservation and who will bring out all that is special in them. I can not really express how I love them and how much I love them.
ReplyDeleteI don't have any grandchildren yet , but I have a granddog !! does that count for the giveaway,,,would love your book.
ReplyDelete( t2mcgreer@gmail.com thanks Terri
I don't have any grandchildren. My 2 children are still getting their feet on the ground with jobs and school. So, some day....
ReplyDeleteToday is my first time to you site, after watching you with Jenny Doan doing 'Twirls & Swirls'. Your GIGGLES got me!! I am on a ROLL as far as GREAT Grandchildren are coming along. I NOW have a brand new gr granddaughter Melina, & am waiting for TWINS in January, AND another one in March! The twins are boy & girl' the one in March is not going to find out the sex, but it will be FUN! It's mother has just found out she has lymphoma cancer - RARE only 2% in the USA have had it, and she is only the second pregnant mom, now 19 weeks along.. She is on Chemo (CHOP) and Behold! BOTH mom & baby are both going to be FINE. So, when the one in March is born, that will make me the great grandma of EIGHT. I am MORE than happy to find new quilts to sew for these little ones, and also a COMFORT quilt for the mom with cancer. God is GOOD. 1/3 down with chemo & next time, in two weeks, it will be 1/2 DONE. Mom is being AWESOME, even when she lost all her long & dark hair. US WOMEN CAN and DO! Hugs from Idaho to you! (And thank you for letting me 'air it out!') Alene in Idao
