Oscar's imminent 2nd birthday


 


It's amazing to think it's been nearly two years since our first grandchild was born, time has flown and yet he's been here for such a long time. Oscar is so delightful, he makes your heart swell. He is like a sponge, takes it all in and amazes you with his knowledge.
Before he was born I started working on this quilt, we knew he would be a boy so selected 30's fabrics avoiding flowers and pinks. As Imogen (his Mum and my daughter) has always loved flying geese quilts it was an easy choice. Being the procrastinator I am I only had the top finished by the baby shower, but did manage to have it quilted and bound soon after he arrived on the scene. And what an arrival; he managed to be born at home (not planned) and delivered by his Papa!

  1. Wow! What a spectacular arrival into the world! I love your words, "time has flown and yet he's been here for such a long time". I feel that too. My youngest is almost one but it feels like she has been with us forever x

  4. Hi Dorothy, they are 2" at the base and about 1" in height (ie from centre of the base to the tip). I was so careful to avoid pink in this quilt knowing I was making it for a baby boy. He is now 3 years old, and guess his favourite colour? Pink of course!
