A Christmas Quilt for Chris

A Christmas Quilt for Chris

Chris and me! Chris's Stacked Squares QuiltOne of my favorite things is giving quilts!  My goal in life is to make a quilt for everyone in my family.  I have a big family and it keeps growing with marriages and babies!  I couldn’t be happier, more quilts to make and give away!  Even though Chris is not “technically” a family member, he is definitely family and has won our hearts, including our daughter’s.  This is one of my all time favorite quilts to make and give away.  It’s a cozy quilt that’s easy care, machine wash and dry.  Yes, I have another Stacked Squares quilt started!  I’ll keep making them until the fabric runs out!

Thanks for looking!  If you’re traveling today – be safe!  🙂 Linda

I’m in a Chain Gang!

I’m in a Chain Gang!

 

After my cutting fabric post, I’ve decided to take the plunge and start working on a Postage Stamp Quilt.  The Curious Quilter has a February Mini-Challenge to get you started!  I’m in the Chain Gang group!  What group would you be in?

 

My ultimate goal is to get my leftover fabric cut into usable sizes:   10″, 5″, 2 1/2″, 2″ and 1 1/2″, and then of course make a quilt with them!

Want to join the fun?!

Just keep stitchin’

Mary’s Rebel Roses quilt – check!

Mary’s Rebel Roses quilt – check!

Another check for my Quilting Bucket List!  I’m late giving Mary her birthday present but better late than never, right?!  My quilt guild had a show this year so I delayed giving it to Mary so it could be on display.  Here’s the proof!

And yes, that’s Drew and Abby’s wedding quilt on the right, they had to wait for their quilt, too!  Mary’s quilt is my original design using a design wall to place the blocks.  Very simple, really shows off the fabrics.  Here’s a couple detail pictures of the quilting.

The Quilter’s Dream Orient batting drapes well and has that wonderful antique look after washing.  It’s really evident from the back.

Now, on to the next one!  Thanks for visiting!

Sherri’s Sun and Sky 2

Sherri’s Sun and Sky 2

This quilt might look familiar!  Check out a post from April 2011!  Did I mention that we had enough fabric to make four of these quilts?  I sent one to Christal in April and this one went to my dear friend Sherri who got married this summer and just celebrated her birthday in August!  In fact, her comment , “This would look good in my house”, about my bedroom quilt inspired me to make these blue and yellow quilts.  As luck (haha) would have it, I just happened to have yards and yards of the blue and yellow flower print in the border and backing.  I was going to make a dust ruffle, or pillow shams to match mine, (another haha)!  Sherri’s quilt has a different narrow border and backing but otherwise, it’s pretty much the same.  I still love this quilt!  I think Candy might still have her fabric, maybe I’ll swipe it!  Enjoy the pictures, I look forward to hearing from my friend when she gets her package!
