Nieces and Nephews
I have 44 nieces and nephews--ranging in age from newborn to close to 30!! Yes, it's true. So, as you can imagine there is always something going on with one of them. They are all GREAT kids, and I love them all. Last week was the wedding of one of my nieces and this week is a baby shower for another niece who had twins. She had a boy and a girl. They were about 7 weeks early, but are doing really well. They were each just over 4 lbs. They are beautiful. I wish they lived closer so I could hold, kiss and smell them. There is NOTHING in this world like a newborn baby--except for 2 newborn babies!!! Yesterday I buried myself in my sewing/craftroom to make 2 quilts to give to them. The shower is Saturday, so I sort of had to move along. I made the quilts smaller than usual because the babies are smaller. I know they will grow, and probably quickly, but that's okay. I thought of the sweet little ones the whole day as I stitched along.(My sewing machine didn't know I was in a hurry, so we got along great---see yesterday's post=). It was so fun.
This quilt is for Addison--the little girl. I also made a matching pillow for her. Maybe when she out-grows the quilt, she can use it for a dolly blanket.
This quilt is for Aiden--the little boy. I made him a pillow, too. Maybe Aiden will let Addison use his blanket for a dolly blanket someday, too! I guess they also could be used for wall hangings. So glad I got them finished. I hope my niece likes them. Have a wonderful Wednesday everyone.Be Nice to People,
Julie

Your work always amazes me! The quilts and pillows are so precious. Your niece will probably cry when she opens those gifts up. I know I would!
Wow! 44 nieces and nephews! You are a busy aunt! :)
Julie, they are both beautiful! I know that Addison, Aiden and their mother will love them always. You truly do amaze me - I am always anxious to see what you will create next!
Oh, Julie -- you've created two gorgeous heirlooms. They are gorgeous!
My oldest was also 7 weeks early -- all 3 lbs. 14 oz. of him. Preemies do grow quickly, but I suspect your gifts will be enjoyed for a long time to come.
You are such a giving person, my friend!
What sweet gifts! They are wonderful! Your work is beautiful Julie!

Your creations are so sweet for these babies.
I always treasured the handmade things that were created when my babies were born.
How sweet of you to share these gifts.

What a beautiful gift you made and I'm sure they will be treasured!! Speaking from experiance, twins are alot of fun, especially when they discover each other. For us it was around 6 months and I have it on video-it is priceless!!!
