Baby Quilt

Below is a baby quilt that has been in the making a while (great niece, Lucy Allen). You would think I have lots of this material but only had 2 charm packs and have made 2 baby quilts and a doll quilt and still have material left. I see another doll quilt on the horizon. :-) I just love this pattern. It is a divided disappearing nine patch. (I made up part of that name.) It measures about 38 inches square.


Oh, I love the material for the back.

Doll Quilt

Still working on my doll quilts. I have three more to make. Just finished the binding on this one. I used the 6-inch tumbler die with my Go! Accuquilt. I had to try out this die even though it is a too large for a doll quilt. The cutting out and sewing took one hour to complete--total time. I am loving my Christmas present!

Doll Beds

Dolls beds with doll quilts made for my granddaughters.

Oh what fun my husband and I had with these gifts! The beds were made by high school carpentry students. Then Sonny and I painted them, and I made the quilts. The purple quilt is a disappearing nine patch pattern using 2" blocks that were cut with my "Go" Accuquilt. The blocks were cut from 3 to 4 inch blocks from the stash of my daughter-in-law's mom. She passed away a few years ago and stash is very special. The pink quilt was from part of my stash.

Each doll bed has a mattress and will have a pillow -- I will post later.

Week Before Christmas

It is the week before Christmas and . . .

Here is a record picture of some Christmas happies--pot holders/hot plate mats.

I used my fancy rotary cutter blade to cut the binding. Then sewed the binding on with a wavy stitch. I liked the way it frames the Christmas tree. (I used my Christmas present from my sweet "Santa"-- a "Go" Accuquilt?)

I had fun with my "Go"--just did not have the time to play.
