Hi Wendy. Grace is actually a great granddaughter. Can you believe I have grandkids old enough to have littles of their own 😉 I’m so happy to be getting near the end of my bin! Strings are sorted and ever so many squares and hats pre cut! I love playing with scraps 😁

You have been busy!!! How in the world can you only have 3 bags of scraps left???? I just might have to fix that … if we happen to drive through your town next summer / fall … 🙂
Your newest great granddaughter is a sweety!! Keep enjoying her pictures! One day you’ll be able to hold and cuddle her in person!
Happy Quilting! 🙂

Hi Gail. I think I might be getting my sewjo back. 🤔 I think Grace is a little darling. She looks exactly the same as Clarke when I first held her at 3 days. I’m hoping to meet her next fall maybe?!?
Scraps for me! Woo Hoo! 😉

Thank you Diann. Grace is a joy and her Mom will make sure I get lots of photos. I had let my scraps get out of hand so needed to deal with them 😉

Hi Carol! Lots and lots of goodness in this post . . . but come on . . . those baby shots are just the BEST ever. Grace looks so cute – I just want to scoop her up. Levi and Clarke are getting so big! What are their ages? Yippee for being down to only three baggies of scraps. Are the pink blocks for RSC? They all look interesting – one might be a wonky log cabin? Thanks so much for linking up toady! ~smile~ Roseanne

Thank you Sherrie. Isn’t she a beauty. I’m lucky her Mom sends me lots of photos of her big sister Clarke. They don’t live close so it will likely be fall or next winter before I get to hug or cuddle them. Stay well 😁
