When my great neice twins were born, I didn't give my SiL or the mother a
present, I had a pair of bone mother-and-babes bone bobbins made by
Roseground Supplies, with one name on each along with the date of their
birth. Then had them framed for the nursery wall. Something for them to
remember their great aunt, the lacemaker, by, and hopefully something to be
passed on in the future. My brother and SiL (first-time grandparents) had
the umbilical cords frozen as their gift to the babies.
I've been tod that the wedding garter I've just finished for my niece (the
daughter of that brother and SiL) will also be passed on.

Subject: [lace-chat] first grandma quilter gift?
Hi everyone
My SisIL is to be a first-time grandma. If she was a lacemaker I could
give her a commem. bobbin for the occasion when Grandbaby arrives. But, a
bobbin for her would be redundant - she does like to do quilting though.
Do any of you know if quilters give each other commemorative gifts? (and
if so - suggestions as to what to do for my SIL would be appreciated)
thanks!
