To-Do Tuesday, August 29, 2023

Is it really nearing the end of August!? How did that happen so quickly?!

Here’s a bit of what happened in my world this past week.

To-Do Tuesday, August 22, 2023

  1. Gah! Elephant quilts! ✔️
  2. Keep up with Twilight Stars QAL.  ✔️
  3. Baby shower for my daughter expecting twins! I’ve got food to prepare!  ✔️

1. Elephant quilts completed and gifted!

My daughter and her husband are expecting twins! A boy and a girl! We are all so excited!

I used a Tula Pink fabric with elephants for the baby quilts. One in the pink color way and one in the blue. Top photo is accurate for color.

I put a soft Minky on the backs. Sorry for the blurry photo.

Funny thing, I asked my daughter before deciding on the Tula Pink elephants if she still liked elephants. She said she did. And on the day of the shower, she was wearing an elephant bracelet!

And guess what!? Our family has more surprises!

My DIL is also expecting twins! Two baby girls! She is 10 weeks behind my daughter! This is the first pregnancy for both of them. Can we say super excited! Four grands added to our family by the end of the year!

2.Twilight Stars QAL

Week eleven. The center of the star blocks are from Triangle Gatherings Book by Primitive Gatherings.

3. Baby shower was a fun outdoor party with plenty of good food, sunshine, gentle breeze, friends and family!

My daughter and SIL!

Hubs and me with the happy couple.

To-Do Tuesday, August 29, 2023

    Hi Sharon! I hope you are doing well. How exciting that your daughter AND DIL are expecting twins. One of each and two girls! Those finished quilts are so adorable and I know there is a ton of love stitched into them both. Minky is so nice on the back, don’t you think? I guess you’d better get busy on the second set of quilts. Do they all live nearby so you’ll get oodles of time with those new babies? What a nice picture of the four of you. {{Hugs}} a bunch ~smile~ Roseanne
