Big Girl Quilt

In our family, whenever it's time for a grandsquib to transition into a big bed, Grandma Janet marks the occasion with a handmade quilt.

Over the weekend, Pudge received the quilt Grandma Janet designed and created just for her.

(Luckily for Pudge, Grandma Janet requires no proof that the transition to big girldom has successfully occurred...only that the furniture be purchased...)

The quilt in the picture is NOT Pudge's actual quilt.

This is what spoiled looks like folks.

This quilt is the identical, smaller quilt Grandma Janet created for LC's babies.

Pudge's quilt is full sized and fabulous and I refuse to allow her to touch it.

Yet.

But she's quite aware of how special her new blanket is and it's been a source of great preoccupation today.

Rightfully so.

It's made from oodles of delicious 1930's inspired prints.

And the back is covered in lovely ladies and one of LC's middle names.


Pudge loves to study them.

Yes sirree.

Big girldom certainly has its perks.

Thank you, thank you, Grandma Janet.

What a lucky squib LC is to fall asleep wrapped up in such love and talent.

  2. What a beautiful quilt! Neither of my grandmas ever made me something great like that, although I did inherit a solid green afghan from my great-grandma that I still use today.

    What a blessed little squib you are, Pudge! <3

  7. I want a Grandma Janet! A quilt for the dolls, too?! Wow. Does LC like playing with dolls? Josie's developmental therapist says she frequently sees this in little girls with DS...so far Josie is sticking with singing animals.

    1. No...Pudge is not a doll fan. Yet. She's more a "fling my body through the air by whatever means I can take flight" kinda girl when it comes to fun. But she IS becoming more intrigued now that her best buddy, Eli, has a new brother.
