Over at My Quilting Buddies we are taking sign ups for a stacked coins quilt strip swap. We will be swapping a strip of 40 coins. It should be fun. We would love to have you join us. The partner list will go out on the 11th.
Happy Sewing
Here is the quilt I made for the Quilts for Kids program. They sent me the kit. All I had to do was provide the batting and sew the quilt together. I named the quilt- Seeing Spots. I love the dog fabric. I hope it keeps a child nice and warm.
I finished this memory quilt today for a customer. The striped blocks are a very old baby quilt. I had to quilt it onto a piece of fabric so that when I cut it up it wouldn’t fall apart. The yellow in the nine patches are from baby clothes as is the white with the little orange dogs.
I wrote the instructions this morning for this quilt. This would make a great lap quilt for someone in the military or a baby quilt.If you can’t download these email me and I can send them to you in a .doc format. holly@fabricmom.com
Last week I mailed this crib sized memory quilt off to a customer in California. She sent me some squares of her son’s baby clothes. I free motion quilted the quilt with a medium meander stitch. I love it. It made me want to make some for my kids. Right now I am working on two twin sized t-shirt quilts for customers. I will be having some late nights. I am a very busy girl.
I made a baby quilt for my online friend Melzie. She is having her 4th boy. God Bless her. Three is plenty for me. I mailed it to her Monday. She let me know she received it and everyone loves it. I haven’t posted a picture yet because I wanted her to see it in person first. They always look nicer in person.
Here is the back. I used a Noah’s Ark fabric. I have like 4 yards of it. I found it at a thrift store for really cheap a few years back. I love using it on the back of baby quilts.
I don’t know about you but I have always wanted to make a quilt with just black and white prints. I designed this pattern with a person in mind. She likes contemporary quilts. This pattern is great for two color quilts. It might even look good scrappy.
Yesterday was my friend Brandy’s baby shower. She is due next month and having a boy. Her son Moses and Joshua were in kindergarden together. They have become best buddies. I made her this quilt. A flannel receiving blanket, 2 bibs, and a burp cloth. I was going to make more burp clothes but ran out of time. I still might make some more.
I was playing around with EQ5 tonight. This is the first quilt I designed on my own. 
It is a baby quilt.
Yesterday I took this baby off of the wall in my sewing room and finished it. I didn’t take long to quilt it. It was so much fun too. I think I am growing to love the finishing process as much as making the top. This is the first quilt I have free motion quilted. I have done one table runner which is now on Josh’s dresser. I am so excited. It feels great to have gotten it done. There are a couple puckers on the back. I crossed over a few lines here and there. I am not trying to be perfect. I like the messiness of it. Very cute. I am donating it to the Mountain Baby Blankets project.
