Crib quilt From Faraway granny

I just had a brilliant thought. Scathingly brilliant. Overwhelmed myself.
When you create a quilt for a grandbaby that is far from you, why not copy a
picture of yourself (and Grandaddy, if any) onto one of those nice sheets
such as Printed Treasures (or other) and include it in the quilt top or
label? My 'grandmother' name is simply 'granny' but you could embroider
whatever you hope to be called; subject to change by baby. .. who probably
needs changing. Sorry. Got carried away there. Next time I do a quilt for
a family baby, count on me to try my idea myself. DD#2 says we only have
brilliant thoughts every 90 minutes. I'm down for now. Polly

That is a brilliant idea! Might just have to try it. DD1 is expecting!

Howdy!
A picture on the quilt of the grans? Arrrrrgh!

"Hush, little baby, don't say a word,
And never mind that noise you heard;
It's just the beast under your bed,
On your quilt* and in your head!
Exit light, enter night,
Take my hand: we're off to Never-never-land!"

Oh Roberta, I'm so pleased. Please God all will go well and you will
have your long-awaited grand-baby.

Polly,
I've been doing that forever. I print my lable with a picture of the child,
all the info, and a small picture of myself. On the last one I made, I
even put the little song we always sing to her to go to sleep. I just
figure that when the child is grown up and old, she will like to see my
shinning face and her own picture and know her quilt was made with love.

I never thought about doing this but it is a fun idea. I have a couple of
grandnieces that don't see me too often but when they were little would
come running and hugging because they thought I was my 'fun' sister.
Took me awhile to figure that they were mixing us up. Now I just remind
them who I am. (I always add 'remember, I am your pretty auntie'. That
always gets a laugh for some reason. : )

Why didn't I think of that? Polly
