A baby shower

Today I attended my cousin's baby shower.  Her daughter was born 7 weeks early and the kids and I made her a quilt, and as we quilted we prayed for her health.  In August, I posted a page for my Gram after her arrival.  The construction of the quilt is archieved on my sewing blog.  

Thankfully, this little girl is strong (probably like her Great-Grandmother) and has been home for 3 weeks now.  My kids made the gift, which my cousin opened and loved... Unfortunately I had to leave early so I couldn't stay for all the gifts, but reports are she brought it (and the card I made) out later to show off when opening the other gifts.  It was a hit.  

The card was printed two up onto letter sized paper then cut out and placed onto a piece of burgundy card stock that matched the dark flowers on these pages.

And my most recent page, created for my Grandmother.  Today she met her forth great-grandchild... her third great-granddaughter.  We are so blessed for my Grandmother's health and vitality at 95!
