Sue, when grandchildren started coming I totally lost my sensibilities! It never occurred to me that there would be 9! By the time the were three they each had three. The crib quilt with theme for the nursery, a heart themed baptism quilt, and one at age 3 years for whatever their love was at the time. Lesson learned. Great grandchildren get one themed by my choice that they can grow into than as toddlers, such as appliquéd owls, hot air balloons, and the butterfly quilt for our baby girl coming this week. (Laurel Burch had the perfect fabric line for that one.) And now on the hunt for June and a zoo theme. But never again “3 by age 3”! Because we know it didn’t stop there. 😂

Love Laurel Burch fabric. Haven't seen it in ages. Do you have pictures.....quilts? Grandchildren? You are a super grandmother.

@1nan I did quilts for all my family members. Blue star wallhanging for sister when my nephew was off to serve in the Army. Numerous baby quilts for friends. This coming from someone who flunked home ec in junior high school, really! I have crocheted baby blankets, also. I have Laurel Burch horse and cat fabric. I do have some zoo themed juvenile fabric...
My little champ of a machine is a Kenmore 1040, named Mr. Joe [more than just a pretty faced Ken, think GI Joe!] I also have two older Kenmores. Fabric is sorted by color families, except for novelty, batiks, and Southwest. I did 6 labrobes for stepson's family at holiday. Next big project is a flimsy for the travel trailer. And some hand-quilting on a wall-hanging.

When crocheting, it relaxes me so much I often fall asleep with hook and yarn in place. On a trip, my husband has commented I fall asleep, and never drop a stitch ;))
This "quality of life thread" helps show us what we define as our compasses.
