We drove three hours to Kentucky and back today to celebrate the naming and blessing of our little grandson. In truth, my husband drove and I rode so I had some time to stitch. A basket, some stems....
When my eyes weren't focused on the needle and fabric, I noticed the
beautiful countryside in Kentucky -- luscious greens, black barns with
quilt blocks painted on the sides, and horses with colts and foals. Gorgeous!
And here's that adorable little grandboy of mine. He's as round as anything you can imagine with blue eyes that melt your heart and a sweet, easy-going disposition. At five months he's ready to move but hasn't quite managed the coordination to move far on his own -- yet.

He is so sweet
ReplyDeleteThank you, mlb. Those who love him agree!
DeleteWhat fun!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Brenna.
DeleteWhat a gorgeous boy. So glad you're close enough to visit him often.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Gypsy Quilter. We try to visit him and his siblings every month but sometimes it stretches to 5 weeks. Still, I know it's more often than some grandparents see their grandchildren.

Baby Blessings are the BEST!
ReplyDeleteThey are wonderful, Gayle, and most especially when the babies are our own or our grandchildren!
DeleteOh my he's adorable!
ReplyDeleteWell, I know I'm partial, Kathy, but I think so too.
DeleteI just read through all your posts and followed your Gwennie inspired medallion block, Nancy. I think it's great you've decided to join in and I really like your block. The idea of drawing your own design is an awesome one. All your quilting is beautiful so I'm sure your finished piece will be too.
ReplyDeleteLittle grandson is sweet and I know so cherished.
Thanks for all your encouragement, Jocelyn. Sometimes when I decide to go my own way (as in drawing my own designs) I get into trouble and then have to work hard to get myself back on track to succeed. I hope the finished piece looks good.
DeleteYes, you're right about my grandson. We love him to bits!
It's so nice to have a portable stitching project to take along on road trips and this sounds like an especially wonderful trip! What a precious little boy - honestly, he's just beautiful. I know you both treasure every moment with him.
ReplyDeleteIt was a great trip, Karin. We left a little on the early side, at 5:30 in the morning. I was grateful it was grey and rainy the night before: I went to bed at 9:30 and it felt like my usual early morning bedtime. Still, I was amazed that I didn't sleep the whole three hours there.
DeleteHe is a precious baby - just round and cuddly and mostly agreeable and pleasant. We treasure every moment with him and his brother and sister.
And I do loving having some handwork to do while riding.
I hope you have a great weekend, Karin. Thanks for visiting and leaving a comment.
