Babies everywhere....

I have 11 quilts to make before June 16.... Luckily, 5 of them are baby quilts and go together pretty quickly. I had scraps left from a pink/brown bundle I bought 2 years ago and paired with a solid pink for these three quilt tops. I'm a little tired of pink and brown, so I'll work on something else before I quilt them. Plus, the little ones are still cookin' in the oven :)

Hey-It's still February isn't it???

This is the Valentine wall hanging I did a couple of years ago.

It is an enlarged version of Cotton Way's

Table Topper of the Month for February.

My stairway needed something to hang there, and hanging a rod was out of the question lest someone impale himself upon descending the stairs too carelessly. So I just tied it up to the posts, using rings that are sewed to the back of the quilt, about an inch down from the top.

well loved quilts.

here are two of my FAVORITE baby quilts.

they were gifts from two of my FAVORITE friends.

the top quilt is all HAND QUILTED...

there are little daisies and a ribbon around the border.

The second quilt is all minky-backed (with NO batting)...

it's so soft and big and we LOVE it.

God Bless America

Last year I did a quilt that incorporated all the words to

God Bless America

This was also during my "I think I want to be a quilt designer" phase. Susan took this picture and wrote down measurements... maybe if we ask her nice, she'll post the details for everyone :)

It's hard to tell from this picture (and I would do it bigger next time) but the three white stripes of the flag have the words "Through the night with a light from above. From the mountains, to the prairies, to the oceans, white with foam."

And yes, those are my fuzzy slippers.

Hope everyone had a Happy Valentines Day!

...another one FINALLY finished...LOTS more to go!...

Stack and whack Simplicity!

I bought a 10" layer cake last year from the simplicity line of fabric and decided to do a stack and whack. Well.... being the mistake queen... I didn't "shuffle the fabric before I whacked and sewed the first 10 blocks. Resulting in all pink blocks.

Hey- perfect size for a baby quilt!

The remaining blocks were mixed up so there was a variety of colors in each block, though not much pink (since I had used it all in my mistake) so I sashed it in pink.

Lap Quilt

I must really love my mother!

I'm already working on two other big projects for my mom.

(remember the Chickens and Nice People/Nice Things?)

What can I say.... I love her!

She called the other day to say that her Christmas wallhanging

was still up and the only other thing she has from me

is a 4th of July wallhanging. What's a quilt girl to do?

So.... I pulled out Cool Girls Quilt and started cutting out

Crazy For You. Now remember - I make mistakes and on

this one it was BIG. I didn't read that I was supposed to ENLARGE

the circle 125%. That's right, the circles are supposed to be

LARGER than the flowers. But I modified and just used 6 and

I actually like it. I hope she does too!
