I love it!

I love it!

When I give my quilts to babies, I include a note to parents:  “This is not an heirloom!  Machine wash and dry.  Use it on the floor, at the park or at a picnic!  If you wear it out, I’ll make another one!”

I love it when they take me at my word!  Here’s Zeke sleeping in the rocks while his parents and sister are rock climbing near by.  He’s nestled in the rocks with his sister’s quilt (here’s a link to Zeke’s quilt) but that’s okay, it’s being used!

Hope you’re enjoying the final days of 2011 and getting some of your UFO’s checked off your list!

Happy sewing!  Linda

It’s a boy!

Jordy’s Tummy Time quilt

Do you remember the baby shower gift wrapped in a quilt?  Well, that baby is a boy!  I decided to finish the boy version the day my niece went to the hospital!  I was getting progress reports from the grandma (my sister) while  I was stitching away.  I had the binding made and sewn on by machine, front and back, by 10:30 pm and Jordy was born at 12:03 am, so I had it done before he was born!!

Here I am giving Jordy his Tummy Time quilt, isn’t he cute?!   I guess I’ll have to wait for another baby for the girl version to be gifted.  I have lots of nieces and nephews so it’ll happen soon.  My son got married this summer, they could make me  grandma again!!

stitched label

The label is stitched with Packer green thread in honor of his Packer namesake, Jordy Nelson.  Yes, he’s named after a Green Bay Packer player!

Dream Puff batting

The backing and binding are flannel, soft and cozy!

The batting is Quilter’s Dream Puff and the thread is A&E PermaCore.

 

Thanks for looking!  I’m enjoying all your cookie/candy comments and compliments on my give-away post here.  If you haven’t been blog hopping with the Quilting Gallery here’s the button to get you there!

Quilt wrapping!

My solution for wrapping a Diaper Genie!  This is the baby’s tummy time quilt, if it’s a girl!  I’ve made another boy version, yet to be quilted.  The baby’s due in 6 weeks.  My prediction is girl, what do you think?

Do I need to finish the boy quilt?  I guess I will to be on the safe side!  I’ll keep you posted!

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!
