The 2 Generation Baby Blanket

Tuesday, September 11, 2007

One of the baby blankets that my mother gave to me is made of crochet squares, half made by my Nana, half by my mom. My Nana was an amazing seamstress and crocheted blankets for the elderly to the very end. As the story is told, my mother arrived in Texas to say good-bye to her mother (my Nana) on a Tuesday. Nana passed away 3 days later. But when she arrived, Nana was crocheting squares to make a blanket and she asked my mother to finish them for her. My mother agreed and took all the squares and yarn home with her.

Years later, my mother has finished the rest of the squares, put them together, and made a baby blanket for me. *sniff* Could it bee any more touching?

Very sweet. I get the impression that your Mom has been eagerly awaiting this grandchild.

My Mom was the same way. She had a baby blanket ready within two months of my finding out I was having Nathan. And I was really blessed that my sister-in-law, aunts and cousins banded together to finish the quilt she had begun for him. *sniff*

Wow a quilt. That is really special that it was finished. You should post pics of it.
