Last year I made this quilt from a kit sent to me by quilts for kids.
I was checking their site and they have posted that they are in need of quilts for boys. So if you feel like sewing for a good cause this would be a great way to do so. They delivered over 20,000 quilts last year.
It has been a while sense I have been able to sit and work on a pattern to share with my fellow quilter’s. I designed this a few months ago. I finally finished the DOWNLOADABLE PDF. The finished wall hanging measures 30 x 30 inches. I hope you enjoy it. I look forward to actually finding the time to make it for myself. (This is my 501 post too). Wow!
Here is one in Christmas prints.

Just thought I would add a picture of my boy from his football game the other night. He sacked the quarterback. Way to go Tyler!!!
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.
