Just Ducky

My Loving Spouse aka PaPat has removed the ‘Do not disturb’ from his phone and designated special ring tones for My Other Girl and her husband Number 5 Son. After 5 miscarriages they have made it to 38 weeks. This little Granddaughter is set to make her entrance into the world this week. We’ve been praying for her and creating for her.

PaPat built an old-fashioned wooden pull toy.

The baby ducks waddle behind the mother delightfully. This meant that I could make the duck quilt, I’d had my eye. Duck parts began being produced months ago.

The first duck was over ‘zig-zagged’. It was turned into a bib and sent out previously.

Bath time rubber ducks dressed up for Easter were sent in spring. Unbeknownst to the parents, we had a ‘duck theme’ going on.

Bess and I are still in our quilting learning curve, but that machine is fun to use. I try my hand at imitating the duck pull toy on the top and bottom of the quilt. This type of quilting remains a work in progress.

The original source for this quilt came from here, so I want to make sure I give them credit. You can see I duplicated their quilt almost exactly. Well, except for mistakes, those are all mine.

The kids face-timed us to open everything, which was joy in action. We’re now waiting for that special ring tone and planning our trip to Salt Lake City. My Other Girl has expressed multiple times, that this Grammy gets all the snuggles she wants….

and we are blessed.
