Memories for Grandma

This quilt was made with baby clothes for a Grandma going through chemo treatments.  The two dresses were worn by her two daughters, and the other three outfits were worn by all 8 of her grandchildren.  The ruffles on the dresses were left loose, as were the feet and collars of the other outfits.  All of their names are embroidered in the middle - the yellow are the two daughters, and the white names are the grandkids.  The sashings are parts of a quilt/blanket made by grandma.  So she can have her entire family wrapped around her as she goes through this tough time.  The backing is a blue fleece, and I did a stitch-in-the-ditch to hold the layers together.

Nana's sweatshirts

I made these for a friend who has 7 grandchildren.  Whew - that's a lot!!  Two very different personalities even though they are the same.  Amazing how fabrics can change the personality of a project.  The grandkids are arranged by families, and I reversed them from one shirt to the other.  May 2011

 

Josie's grandkid's clothes

These are for a past co-worker.  She saved the favorite outfits of her 2 grandkids, who will be 2 and 4 this spring.  Their names and birthdays are embroidered in the middle.  They both have fleece on the back:  Zack's (56x72) is white with tractors and bulldozers etc all over in primary colors, and Addy's (79x95) is big pink and white flowers.  Josie picked them up at school this morning and they are leaving tomorrow to go deliver them to her family in Texas.  They are expecting their third child next week, so it looks like I'll be getting another order in the next year or so!  Feb 2011
