#14 Grandchild is born
I spent the day at my quilt buddies house making quilt tops. I left to go and get us some lunch, came home to check e-mail and read that Tina was trying to have the baby today. I grabbed some more fat quarters to make the Bebe's quilt. I thought I had at least another week. I got the last two borders on Lydia's strip flower quilt
and sewed a Noah's ark D9P
quilt for guild in two weeks. I've never made one using the "bee-daisy" setting, as we call it, so I tried it both ways. The 2nd one needs to still be sewn together into the 9-patches and then cut to finish it. Then I made two
Little Genius D9P's, one for Brant and Tina's 2nd son. I put a blue flannel on the back and got it pin-basted tonight. The regular setting on the 2nd one will be for here at G-ma's, maybe. I may donate it... we will see how it turns out after I quilt them.
They look so different through the lens of the camera. It is now tomorrow and no word from Brant since 9:45pm our time. He said the Dr would be back at Midnight MDT to check on Tina again. I will wait patiently by the phone because I told him to call no matter what. Grandma isn't excited much... Brant called to let us know he is born. 6# 10 oz, 19-1/2" long. He will spend a couple days in NICU like his father did to clear his lungs. Keep him and his parents in your prayers. Good night!!
