Striped Baby
SOLD TO: The loving couple who never tells each other “no” but they also know what they “shouldn’t ask for.”
The first quilts I ever made were for babies because it was a size I could manage when I was a teenager. I used to stretch the backing fabric on the carpet and pin it down so I could tie the fabrics and batting with yarn or embroidery floss. I made lots of baby quilts for my own babies and for my friends. I love this sweet little number because the fabrics are special remnants from my stash (my daughter’s first star quilts were made with these fabrics) and the super-soft minky on the back knocks my socks off! I kept the quilting simple so it wouldn’t detract from the pretty prints.

Sweet Success for a Sweet Little Miss
This is the very first quilt I put on my new Innova Mach 24 best friend! My bonus daughter pieced this quilt on our Sisters’ Quilting Weekend last winter.

For the Newlyweds
My bonus daughter picked these purples for her wedding quilt. I like purple, but I’ve never loved it. But I sure am happy with how this quilt turned out. And, thankfully, the bride was delighted, too!
Holiday Forest in Reds
I loved sewing these quilts for a retreat with great friends! Amy Smart’s pattern Holiday Patchwork Forest was our starting point, but I finagled a way to make some tall skinny trees and some short wide trees. You see, my best friend thought making all the same sizes was too repetitive, and I wanted to surprise her! I love this quilt in reds and whites. This one is for me!
