Christmas is over and put away, finished quilts have been gifted and now its a new year and new quilts await!!  I decided my first quilt for the year would be simple and easy.  Whats more simple than this...a stroller quilt.  I love this fabric from the Feed Company and think it is perfect for any little boy needing to snuggle.  I don't have anyone in mind, but Donald and Emma are expecting!  Personal feeling is that they are having another little girl, but that's just me!  I think I might make up a few of this size quilt for little gifts.  I love that they make up so quick and just look so adorable!!


Once all the pieces are cut, sewn and pressed...start laying them out.  Decide how you want it to look and start sewing them all together.  I did this in two days, just love it!







Quentin really is a ham and is very good at faking sleep...Grandpa plays along anytime too!
We took Christmas to Seattle early as it was our "Off" year.  I did want to see the kids open their quilts though.  Hillary says that he sleeps with it every night.


This is not a fake and just look how very sweet that is...so worth all the hours of cutting, sewing and unpicking and sewing some more!


I fell in love with this fabric by 3 Sisters, Whitewashed Cottage...isn't it adorable!!! Shabby chic is how I would describe it.  I am in the process of quilting and binding...I will post the completed quilt soon!!! 
As soon as Hillary said she was pregnant I had a feeling it was a girl so I took a leap of faith and started sewing!!







This grandma loves dolls.  I have loved dolls since I was a little girl and I am so excited we have little girls in this family!!  One of my favorite shopping days for Christmas was when I was looking for the perfect baby doll!!  I hope Donald and Emma don't mind that I went ahead and bought Ellie a baby doll for Christmas, I just couldn't resist and then a baby doll needs a blanket of course!!!  Didn't it turn out so sweet!!!  








Today on the Today Show they had a woman who travels the country with a huge chalkboard titled..."I wish I had the courage to..." and then you fill in the blank.  I thought to myself "what would I write if I stood in front of that board?"...right off the bat, I had a hard time being honest with myself, so I guess the first thing I would say...

I wish I had the courage to be honest with myself
then, I wondered what else??
Here goes...

I wish I had the courage to go back to school
I wish I had the courage to be adventuresome
I wish I had the courage to do things by myself
I wish I had the courage to write a book
I wish I had the courage to be a little more independent 
I wish I had the courage to try and fail, but at least try
