Baby Quilts

I had a fun but busy week working on TWO baby quilts. I did finish them early Saturday morning before the baby shower 3 1/2 hours away at 2:00 on Saturday afternoon.

A little background--We were in the attic at my parent's home and we found this old quilt. We are not sure how old the quilt could be. It is in pretty bad shape, but we feel it is an antique quilt. When I saw the quilt, I had an idea to use the pattern and make baby quilts for two great nieces to be born in March and April.

Here is the picture of the quilt from the attic.



Here are the two quilt I designed and completed. I call them a crazy patch quilt. The first quilt is fabric by Moda called Birdie. The fabric is so bright and cherry. (Again, my picture taking is sad. The lighting is not so good.) This quilt will belong to Anna Kate.



The second quilt is made from a some fabrics I had but most are Moda fabrics. Some fabrics are from Windham Sweetest Gifts Fabrics. This quilt will belong to Ava Montgomery



You might get a better view taken at the shower.

Signs of Spring

Thought I would take pictures of my jonquils before another night of cold and maybe snow.

Granddaughters

These are two of my granddaughters--Gabby (8) and Hannah (7) at their church during Sanctity of Human Life Sunday. Gabby is reading Psalm 139:13-16. ". . . I am fearfully and wonderfully made. . ." Hannah is singing "If the stars are numbered one by one, then He knows when I slumbered and life has begun. . ."

Farmer's Market Quilt

Has anyone seen a quilt made entirely of Farmer's Market material? Well, here is one. I made it for my niece, Ellen, who is a dietician. She advises everyone she can on how to eat wisely. When I saw the material, I knew just the person who might enjoy a quilt made of this material. I did see a quilt made like this, so I duplicated it. The pattern is Turning 20 -- maybe Turning 18 since I used 18 different fat quarters. I hope she enjoys it. The size is 67 by 83.

Now I guess I was playing with taking a picture of my quilt -- so look at this. Am I a complete dork???
