Quilts and memories I've had the pleasure of making!
Darkel and Melyssa asked me to make a birthday quilt for his grandma's birthday on September 1st.
I was told she liked blue, and since I had a short timeframe to make it, I pulled all my blue scraps, bought some white material, batting and a SO cute backing!
I am proud of the way this turned out! Made in 5 days!
Backing-fleece
Mailing it to South Carolina (?) in the morning!
Aren't they both adorable!Vincent is the little guy, being held by his brother, AJ!
The quilt I made for Vincent is in the back of both pictures!
This is Vanessa, my niece, with the quilt I made for her!
Doesn't she look beautiful and all cozy?
My little sweat shop was open today! Being the only employee with 2 commissioned quilt orders, 2 babies born this month, one quilt already on the frame---aye, aye, aye....I sewed and quilted myself to exhaustion!
First quilt is in the flimsy stage-will be loaded on the frame in the morning! It is for my son-in-law's grandmother who's birthday is September 1st.
Also, this is quilted and ready for binding! It is an old UFO! I originally made it using the 10minute block pattern-made from a layer cake! Ended up not being a favorite pattern to make, but I am glad it's nearly finished and out of my sewing room!
Very fall looking quilt! I believe it will be a gift for my sister, Jana's in laws!
I have had this fabric for YEARS! Originally, I thought about making this quilt for Amanda, but then endd up making her another one!
This fabric is called "Good Fortune" by Kate Spain for Moda.
Somehow after making a bundle of half square blocks, I tucked it away. I found it again in my stash last week and fell in love with it again! This time I decided to finish it for our queen sized bed! I was lucky enought to get matching border material by browsing through ALOT of
Maybe a donation quilt!
Anyway, on my design wall is the latest using. Good Fortune! I think that is a wonderful name for q quilt that will cover you while you dream!
Matching border fabric!
I finished three UFOs this week and they are packed up ready to ship to Florida!
First for my grand nephew (doesn't that make me sound old?)
Daddy is a fireman, this is the back!
For my niece, Chantel, the baby's mommy!
The back:
And for Vanessa, my other niece in Florida:
The wrinkled back:
I also made her a reversible tablerunner for her new apartment!
And what was Amanda doing while I was finishing her snuggy? Why, she went fishing with dad, her aunt and uncles!
When I finished, Emily and I went to IHOP:
And then to JoAnns, to get material for a "3 Hour Quilt" that we are making later this week! Our material coincidentally, is matching, but our focus fabrics are different! Emily fell in love with this material:
And mine:
Took a favorite picture and made it into fabric:
This was Darkel and Melyssa's engagement photo! And since today is their 1st Anniversary,I had them on my mind!
I still need to back and quilt it, but I am Very pleased with the results so far!
This is a UFO that has been sitting, waiting to be quilted for over a year! Finally got it on the frame and used loop d loops for quilting! I think it looks nice with the florals!
This was made for one of our nieces!
