A Sweet Baby Quilt with a Beautiful Story

Isn't this just a beautiful quilt?

And, guess what? This quilt has a delightful story. You see, all of the fabrics pieced into this quilt (except one) were purchased years and years ago by the quiltmaker's mother who has since passed away.  

Now, it must be told that the quiltmaker's mom HAD been quite a sewist, but the quiltmaker had never made a quilt and,  in reality,  had not sewn ANYTHING since Junior High School. 

Ok, fast forward a bit......the quiltmaker's brother and his wife were going to have a baby - a girl - so the quiltmaker created this lovely quilt so that the new wee one could be wrapped in both her grandma's and her aunt's love.  

Take a closer look at the fabric. Isn't the fabric purchased so long ago just perfect for the new baby girl!

Camper wall hanging.

I used to love to camp! Especially when my friends and I would set our tent up ON the beach! Nothing like  the sound of the waves and a warm campfire.

Cathy's camper brings back memories of happy times!

Catchy appliquéd this ADORABLE wall hanging and asked me to add a bit of texture to it. When I'm done she's going to add more embellishments  - like buttons etc. 

Isn't it just toooooo cute?! 

This is another piece Cathy made and will be picking up today.  I hope she loves the quilted texture that I added (as much as I love it)!

Another Beach Theme

Ready to be quilted!! 

I've been under the weather but...

I got a few quilts finished before I felt ill.

Todd's Quilt is Finished

Isn't his quilt a beauty!? I wish I had a larger place to hang it for this photo!!!

Ruler work and free motion

I think the first block on the quilt will include both ruler work and free motion.  Here is a VERY rough first draft of what I may do.
