I was planning on keeping this project a surprise, but I am just no good at that. How adorable is this fabric? It is a kit put together by the great folks at Prairie Queens, and when I saw it, I knew it needed to come home with me. They even fussy cut a big ol' flower for a part of the project design!
Can you even imagine how adorable this is going to be in black and white, with a big pink bow? They have one kit left: $49.
Maybe with this car seat cover?
I just can't seem to help myself. Do you think I need an intervention?
Yes, super girlie cute!! And sassy! Love it! You don't need an intervention yet...after the baby is here is when you'll REALLY need an intervention! LOL! You'll have her on your mind all the time and won't get enough of her!!

no you do NOT need an intervention . . . the very best part of your life is coming with the arrival of a grandchild . . . nothing like their little hugs . . .
my 2 granddaughters are arriving this afternoon from Calif . . . and I am having them all to myself for 2 whole days . . . overnite and all . . . I can't wait . . .
this adorable gift package quilt is on my list too . . . in fact I have the fabric . . .
yes . . . be sure to put the minkee on the back . . . I used it for the first 2 quilts I made each of the girls . . . and when they were tiny they would lay on it and sort of rub their cheeks back and forth . . . then fall off to sleep . . . they loved it . . .
one thing though . . . be sure to wash the minkee first !!

How cute!!!! This will be one fun, quick, and adorable quilt to make and won't Sara be thrilled!?!
Thelma's quilt is too cute, too!
I put Minkee on a child's pillow back and, over time, it's been rubbed smooth.
Hugs!

I am reliving my joy through you....we had one grandchild, a boy first then eight years with none then 2003 we were blessed to have 3 beautiful girls........what fun and they are all so close. We went on to have a boy and a girl 2 years later and now have number 7 a boy on the way........They are the reason for living!!! Continue to have fun and no need for intervention.......

Believe me, and intervention won't help. There is some latent grandma drive that comes out especially strong with the first grandchild. But, let me warn you, it keeps manifesting itself as more grandkids come along.

No intervention needed! You actually need to revel in the joy. Go with all your impulses and enjoy every single minute!!

"Hi, my name is Nicole, and I'm a quilter..." Ha! Both of those are just too cute for words. Way to go!

You have only hit the tip of the iceberg with things you can make for that baby! You are going to have so much fun!!!

When I read your post, I wondered if you'd seen this one: http://quiltsbythesea.blogspot.com/2011/03/baby-quiltsgotta-love-em.html
Cute idea for a baby quilt!
I don't think new Grandmas ever need intervention. Babies need spoiling from grandparents!

Baby E. is going to be sooo stylish!! Can't wait!!!
Posted by: Sara | March 16, 2011 at 08:08 AM
"Baby E?" "Baby E????" What's the "E" stand for ???? You two are going to tell us soon, right???
oh, very cute quilt, too...no intervention necessary!!

I think pink and blk must be in the air. I just got one in my studio to quilt and was just looking a someones blog and pnk/blk was predominant. Looks like a fabulous project!

This looks like a really fun project and no intervention needed there! Have fun with it and your new grandbaby will be very stylish! you will be in heaven once she makes her arrival:)

Okay....did I miss the post where you say Sara is having a girl??? Love the black and pink combo! We have a new baby coming our way too, but too early to know "what" yet!

An intervention would be useless-happily there is no cure. I love making quilts for my grandsons and it seems to have rubbed off. When they are over my house and we watch a movie they each pick out a lap quilt and we all snuggle and watch the movie. Bliss. You are in for happy times.

I love it!!! Just think one day you'll be able to teach this little sweetie pie to sew with you. For now you've got lots to do to get ready for her :)

I made that quilt a couple of years ago...do you think it's quilted yet?? NO! ;0
