egyptian quilts for the new grandchild

-


I dared to cut into some Holy Fabric yesterday. About 2 years ago I made Aimee an Egyptian quilt - most of the fabric used I swapped with others on internet quilting list as I wasnt able to source much Egyptian type fabric at the time - mind you its easy to get now!!!
Anyways I digress.....



There was a sizable amount of fabric left over -and SOOOO lovely - all golds and bronzes and very Nice Indeed
So...
Yesterday I bravely decided to make Aimee's impending child (any day now!!!) a cot quilt to match hers - and I still had some fabric left so I made a bassinette cover as well!!!
AND
theres still some left!!!
Photos dont do the quilts justice - they are gorgeous and gold and the gorgeous pregnant girly in the photo is Aimee tonight (38 weeks) doctor is a bit worried cos the baby is a size of a 33 week baby so might be induced today - waiting to see about that!!!

Mum and baby quilts to match - how clever! And in such gorgeous colours! Aimee obviously loves those tones since she looks so glowing in her cami top. I will be eagerly watching for news of the bub on Tuesday or Wednesday, Di. Prayers for a safe arrival. Love, Di in Darling Point

My Mum Mum was a quiet achiever, going through life with all its ups and downs with little complaining and always enjoyed the escape of a good book. My Mum was lovely – she cared so much about her family and so loved to hear about all our goings on Although in later life she had health issues – she faced them all bravely and worked to find out the best way to live her best life and bore them with dignity. Her life was one of change and she changed and adapted with the changes. Pamela Blanche Geoghegan was born in Bendigo on the 30th December 1938 (yes she just missed her birthday this year) to loving parents Stanley Norman Geoghegan and Emily Ada Blanche Pattinson. The year previously her brother Brian Stanley was born but he died shortly after birth. When she was only 6 years old her father Stan passed away at the age of 30 and for the next 13 years it was just Pam and her mother Blanche living together and they got on famously as Mum would say. The first change in her life. N

This week has been so very hard. My beautiful Mum went to be with Jesus on Thursday 21st December. I am so very grateful that I was able to sit with her for countless hours in her last days - boy did I talk some rubbish to her as she slept and I embroidered and I wouldnt pass it up for the world. Now we are in the midst of making "arrangements" and I am so very aware that Mum would want me to get it "right". She was definate on that when organising my stepfather Austens funeral and Id like to be able to do the same. Because of Christmas and New Year and holidays etc her funeral will be on Tuesday 2nd January at 11am at AG Adams Funerals in Kerang and then she will be joining Austen at Kerang Cemetry. I miss her so - all the phone calls, visiting her, spending time with her (and also the other residents and staff at Cohuna village) A large part of my life and days is now gone and Ill need to work out what the new routine is. I do plan on going back to the villa
