Bradley's Blanket

 This is a small quilt put together from blocks of muslin that were signed by family members for Bradley's 2nd birthday.  I put the blocks together and then used fabric in Bradley's favorite color.

 I didn't sign a square, so I left a touch of me on the back of the quilt where I would usually sign my name.  I left a little cheeseburger for him.  His mom and I laugh about my love for McDonald's themed baby quilts all the time and this was a great way for me to put our laughter, love and friendship into Bradley's quilt. 

Bradley passed away not long after his birthday and he would have recently turned 3 years old.  He is loved and missed.  I am grateful for the opportunity to make such a special gift for him and for his family.

In Memory of a Mother

 Here are four quilts I did in memory of a mother.  Each one has a different backing.  The trim in the sashing is made from her dresses, each quilt has a different trim.  The family also wanted a block with an applique heart that would act as a pocket for a small sound device so they could hear their mother's words.

Memories of a Brother

 I make a lot of memory quilts, but recently I have been doing memorial quilts.  This is a series of eight throw size quilts in memory of a young man who passed away.  His family requested these quilts to be made from his clothes. 

Helping Hands

 A girl in my son's class became very ill and at a moments notice I thought it would be a good idea to make a whole quilt for her to have at the hospital.  I had all the kids trace their names and handprints on the quilt and then I stitched them in.  There is a blank spot on the top of the quilt for her to add her handprint later.
