Braydon's Cars Quilt!

This is a fun quick quilt. I found the pattern on the internet. It's call a Wacky Quilt. This one only has six squares apx 18"X18". So the quilt goes together easily. Plus I used receiving blankets that had been given to me so it was low cost. It is backed with flannel so is a very comfy quilt. I quilted it using free motion quilting. And it's pink, pink, pink!

This quilt was made by my mom (of course this is her blog) She came to Pittsburgh to visit and I had been planning this quilt for ever, but was just not getting around to it. She made the whole thing for me. It's a queen size for Jordyn's bed. She also altered the sheets so that we could use some of the sheet material in the quilt and make them match. Thanks Mom! Your the Best!

This is the quilt my mom made for Jordyn when she was a baby. Jordyn is 5 now but she loves this quilt. I love that it matches her bedroom and I love the embroidered little girls. Each square is different.

Superman!

Happy Birthday Jeremy and Kyle. Yes only one here but I made two. This quilt is made from a 1976 (the year Jeremy was born) sheet and backed with red fleece. I quilted using free motion quilting and of course signed both.

The Almost Beginings

This was Amanda's second (I think) quilt. She started it in Utah and I finished it, just the borders, quilting and binding.









Amanda's quilt inspired me to make my "Flag Quilt." It actually took me a long time. It ended up in the closet for months until I got it our again. I backed it with terry cloth so I could use it swimming during the summer. I drag it out every 4th of July! I should get together with Preston and his quilt!

Kenton's Quilt

I found this picture of Kylie (?) But the fun dino quilt is the one I made Kenton when his parents dragged him across the country away from me! It was my coping method! I think Janene made the other quilt when she went to see Amanda in Utah.

Cheater

This is a cheater quilt. I think Amanda gave me the material. But all I had to do was sandwich and quilt. No piecing. I did put on the border. I gave it to Sister Moore to welcome her tiny baby boy. I did make a matching hat.

Not Sure?

I don't remember making this quilt. Maybe I did, maybe I didn't. But it's pretty cute!

Pooh Bear

This Pooh quilt was made from left over fabric from a quilt I made for a friend of Amanada's. It welcomed Sister Reynolds new baby boy. She uses it all the time. I love to see my quilts with the babies!

Addi's Left Overs

Amanda was a little upset when I used the left over material from Addi's quilt to make these two crazy quilts. But both the sisters who got them love them and I see them at church all the time! (Sister Colvin and Sister Gibson)

Quick & Easy

Don't remember who got this quilt. I think one of the sisters in the ward while I was Relief Society President. By the way when you become RS President don't start giving quilts to newborns because you end up making a lot of quilts!

Addi's Twin Quilt

This is a fun, fun, fun quilt. The pattern is called "Turning 21." You can see the girls put it to really good use right away.













Shelby & Addi

A Quilt for Kylie

Love that Kylie. Kim picked the fabric. It's a fun quilt. Very bright!

Quilting Workshop

I did another quilting workshop for my ward I think in May. This is the sample quilt I made. Three fabrics form the squares then they are arrange to make the pattern. It would have been pretty easy except I ran out of one of the fabrics and had to add a forth! The quilt measures 41"X46", I called it a small lap. It is backed with cotton matching the brown fabric in the squares, of course! The workshop was fun. Some of the sisters even finished up their quilts! I am planning on taking this to Aunt Lucille, but first I will have to sign it!

A Courthuse for Preston

This is the "courthouse" block. It is quick and easy. The quilt measures 47"X57" and is backed with navy blue flannel. I again tried my hand at the free motion quilting. Not sure I like it and it is so much harder than sticking in the ditch or on a diagonal.

I made this quilt for Preston. I know he is only one and this does not look like a quilt for a one year old, but this is what his mother requested!

Crazy Nine Patch

Nine different fabrics. A fun, easy process. Each fabric is cut 12" (or 9" or 15" or any number divided by 3") square and then the fun begins! If you do it right (that means following directions) you end up with nine quilt squares with nine different fabrics in each! This quilt measures 33 1/2" square. It is backed with a yellow flannel that was quilted in 2" squares. I tried the free motion quilting for the first time. It is harder than it looks and I keep loosing my place! The quilt is small but OK for a baby. I used the 12" square to start with. To make a large quilt you could make two sets of the blocks or start out with a bigger square. I think I will try an 18" next time. Even though it is small it is one of my favorites! I thought about giving it away and decided to keep it at least for a little while! Oh, and thank you Hev for sharing some of your fun fabrics!

Log Cabin

Here is the quilt I help my friend make for her daughter. This was her first quilt ever. I is a queen size log cabin. I love the colors. She worked pretty hard to get the quilt finished. I think we worked on it about 5 days. She did all the sewing. Pretty good for a first quilt! We did buy (on accident) batting that was treated to be ironed on. I don't recommend this for large quilts. I ended up spraying to make sure it would quilt easily.

She loved quilting and wants to make more. Me too!

Janene's Gift

Not to much quilting going on, but I was able to finish up Janene's gift for Randy and Kathleen. I know you can't see, but I quilted around the eagles and HD logo. Fun.

Quilts of April-May

For Amanda's friend to welcome a new baby. Yes, it's a baby quilt! This was a fun quilt to make. Basically it is only one fabric cut into squares. Amanda of course had specific squares she wanted. This is just a simple 9 patch quilt. But it is fun. I wanted to keep it. Lucky baby!











For me from me. Notice it matches the family room!
4 patch. I used 6 fabrics. It is backed with a rich brown fleece. It is so cozy!





















For Kaitlyn, from grandma. Happy birthday! Now Kaitlyn and Lex have not matching but similar quilts from grandma!
















Hev's first window quilt.











Hev's second window quilts. I love the ducks!
