Being in the longarm quilting business, we rarely have time to make quilts for our own use or to give to our friends and family as gifts. But when one of my longest and closest college friend announced a baby shower for her first grandbaby, I knew I had to find a way of getting a quilt made. Michael and Annie are expecting their first baby (a boy!) at the end of September. Michael's Mom, my dear friend Joanie, lives near sandy beaches on NY's Long Island. So I had to make a simple baby quilt in bright primary colors with a beach motif. I found fabric with lighthouses, beach pails and sail boats.
Hopefully, the new baby will have the opportunity to enjoy the beach as he grows up visiting his new Grandma.
