Folks I'm afraid I've been so slack in reading your posts, but you can see from my post title that we now have a new little one in the family! She arrived safely in the early hours of 28 November.
There had been concerns that she may be very premature due to a number of reasons, however grand-daughter went full term! Baby is very well, a good 9lb 6ozs at birth and a little beauty, sadly her mum has been quite unwell during and since giving birth. She is still in hospital and may be for some time to come. We have been very worried about her, still are and hoping for a good recovery.
All I have been able to do is make the quilt top for the little one amidst the many telephone calls and texts between all the families, I took the top out into the garden earlier, brilliant sunshine and yes, the grass is really that green here at the moment!
The top measures 34" x 44". Kaffe Fassett fabrics are Foxgloves left and right and Waltzing Matilda in the centre with quite an old pastel print, the name of which escapes me at the moment. Also can't recall the name of the lighter fabric with the Foxgloves! Tula Pink fabric is the delightful pink with tiny rainbows. Yet to decide on the backing but I think I may have enough of the Tula. Next week I hope to machine quilt.
That's all from me right now, I hope to spend time tomorrow catching up on many of the posts missed from you all.
Until next time, which I hope will not be too long, happy quilting and keep well.
Maureen

Wishing good health to all - including you! I hope you gets lots of chances at cuddling that baby!
Lovely quilt! My prayers also for her mom's full recovery... and for your peace of mind in your concerns for her.
This is certainly pretty, but I'm sorry to hear about your granddaughter. That's definitely not the kind of pregnancy and delivery a new mother expects. I understand all your concerns and priorities. Don't worry a bit about being in Blogland! Our hearts are with you.
My thoughts are with you Maureen, hoping your granddaughter improves soon.
That is a lovely quilt Maureen for your greatgranddaughter. Your photo is beautiful with the quilt and sun on the green grass.
I do hope that your grand daughter gets well soon. Best wishes to your family.
I hope your granddaughter is well and able to come home now. Lovely quilt top. Photographing it by your green lawn shows it off even better.
Oh dear, I do hope she recovers and is healthy and strong very soon. How lovely to have a new family member and you made her a beautiful quilt. Wishing your family all the very best for 2024.
