My dear sister is going to have her 2nd grandchild in spring. And for her 2 year old granddaughter, she is getting her a baby doll for Christmas. So when I heard that, I asked if she wanted the cradle I had for my dear daughter when she was that age. This cradle came from my grandmother as I had the only girl grandchild.
My spouse and I do not exactly the lineage, but were happy to get it. He reassembled it and added a fresh coat of paint. I made a mattress and a quilt to match my daughter's bed.
So onto the new quilt :
It is 12 1/2 by 18 1/2. All made from scraps of a charm pack and matching fabric sitting in my stash.
It was fun to whip up and practice some cross hatch quilting and a machine binding.
that is so cute - we have a doll cradle that was made for me by my grandfather, then my two daughters used it and then it was passed to our granddaughter - if neither grandchild has a daughter it well be passed to another in the family
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful that your cradle will be used by another generation. Love your little quilt, too.
