Making A Memory

This was a memory quilt for a boy and girl.  All the blocks were from receiving blankets, baby blankets and towels.  There is also a piece of an afghan in the quilt.  The afghan piece was a challenge, I had to make sure it was anchored to the backing fabric and I serged it onto the backing instead of cutting the piece out, I really didn't want the yarn to unravel.  I quilted some of the kids sayings around the borders.  It was a really fun project.  It's about 45x55" and completely machine washable.  Sweet.

Silhouettes

I made a set of four wall hangings for Veronica's new shop. She wanted vintage silhouettes. I made them up real simple so that the silhouettes really stood out. I absolutely love them!

A Double Sided Wall Hanging

I don't know why I do these. You would think I would learn how hard they are. First both sides have to be the same size, second I have to have a binding that matches both sides. So with one side Halloween and one side Christmas I was practically tearing my hair out trying to find a binding that would work with both. In the end there was a tiny bit of black in the Christmas side, and the Halloween side was dark enough that I could get away with it. It's a miracle I pulled it off. And now it's on it's way to a very happy life in Iowa.

Dahlia's Quilt




For Dahlia's birthday this year I wanted to make her a nice quilt for her bed. She has a full size so as I was working on it, I realized it needed to be bigger than I thought. I love the way it turned out. It is so bright and pink, just like her personality. I had enough fabric for matching pillowcases too - that was a nice bonus.
