My mother, Geneen, loves to make things for her grandkids. She has gotten into quilting over the last couple of years. When Lance turned twelve she decided that she would make a nice quilt to celebrate the special point in his life (receiving the priesthood and going into Young Men's). And so started the tradition of getting a quilt from Grandma Beanie when a grandchild turns twelve. When Sierra turned twelve, Grandma knew this quilt would have to have horses on it.
Imagine Sierra's delight to find out that she could have actual photographs of herself with Pepper on her quilt. She was so excited.
Thanks to Grandma for all the time and work that she put into this quilt. We know that it was A LOT of time and A LOT of work. The quilt is beautiful and Sierra loves it. Grandma's got talent... or "SKILLS" as Lance would say.
Since we didn't have our family blog two years ago, I thought I'd put in Lance's quilt that he received when he was twelve. His has motorcycles on it. He still carries it around with him to keep warm while he watches TV. Thanks Grandma Beanie!

How pretty! Aren't grandmas the best?
That is such a gorgeous quilt! People just don't come any sweeter than your mom! My mom has gotten into quilting the last couple years too, it looks like your mom has mastered it!
WOW! That's so cool, Geneen!! I LOVE the picture blanket! And Lance's looks VERY intricate - I'm way impressed. What a beautiful tradition. My father's mother did the same thing for all of us (for our weddings). For those of us whose weddings she was not around for, she had already at least quilted the top or had the fabric swatches ready. It's PRICELESS!!!!
