Marvin is trying out the baby quilt
As if I did not already feel old enough, my nephew Gary is now a Grandpa, which makes me a great-great aunt! Gary's son Cory and wife Brooklyn are the proud parents of "Ryker", who was born in November 2024.
Brooklyn and Cory with Ryker
Little Ryker has 3 given names - Ryker Lennox Gray plus his surname!
Cory and Brooklyn were the recipients of a wedding quilt which I made in 2022. Brooklyn still likes grays and blues and told me her nursery theme was clouds, stars, and moon. I used stash except for the purchase of a bit of Dear Stella Shooting Stars in navy. I did take the liberty of adding in some soft gold/yellow, because after all, the moon is made of cheese!
A big thank-you to Nancy for encouraging words on minky selection - I picked embossed minky in soft gray for the backing. After feeling it, my husband wants all future quilts to be backed with minky!
This quilt measures 48" x 48". I used a petite panto called "Timeless's Stars and Clouds" from Urban Elementz. Although I really like the design for this quilt, I will not buy a petite panto again, because the design is only 5-1/2 inches tall, and I had to roll the quilt frequently on Longmire the Longarm.
Up next up on Longmire is my sister-in-law's butterfly quilt, which was a finished flimsy in October 2023. My SIL has since changed her bedroom from turquoise to pink - lol - but I think she will love it anyway.
On a sad note, my good friend and fellow blogger Nanette has passed away. Nanette was a passionate and kind person who made beautiful quilts. I knew she had health issues, but I was still stunned, as she had posted as recently as February 16. She will be missed.
