Baby Elijah’s Tummy Time Quilt revealed!

Baby Elijah’s Tummy Time Quilt revealed!

Here’s my first Tummy Time quilt of 2014! This is for Elijah, my cousin’s first grandson born March 19! I had fun using a coordinated set of fat quarters to make this sweet baby boy quilt. The quilting design is freehand Monkey Tails, the batting is Quilter’s Dream Puff and the thread is Superior So Fine!#50.

I finished this week, attached the label and mailed it! When I need it fast, I use a fine fabric marker for the label. I’m out of practice using my embroidery machine!

My niece makes the cutest little blankies out of furry fabric. It’s a Softee for the baby’s cheek!

Isn’t the monkey adorable!?

I’m linking with A Stitch in Time for an April finish! Check out other projects, too. Thanks for looking! 🙂 Linda

Mimi’s I Spy!

Mimi’s I Spy!

Another March finish! With my sister’s double nickel birthday fast approaching I got busy and finished her “I Spy” quilt. Look familiar? It’s the same quilt design as Haley’s I Spy quilt. My original plan was to make one for each of her grandchildren when her first 2 were born in 2011. Well, I wasn’t fast enough and now she has 3, plus another due next month! Therefore, one quilt for Mimi! Every time they come to Mimi’s house they can play I Spy together.

The “P” block reveals her age!

The “L” block is my signature.

The border became the stitched label.

One of my quilting buddies sold me her alphabet panel so I could spell out their family name! That was lucky!

I love it! And I’m linking with Such a Sew and Sew: A Stitch In Time for another March finish! Check out the other projects here.

Thanks! Linda 🙂

Skylar’s Dancing 5’s!

Skylar’s Dancing 5’s!

Skylar’s quilt arrived on her doorstep today! How do you like this quilt for my 10 year old niece? When I started to plan her quilt, I was making Bonnie Hunter’s Dancing Nine Patch. The nine patches finish at 5″ so I pooled together 120 different 5″ charms and her favorite color, blue.
