Personalized Pillowcase

It seems like only yesterday that I was posting the gift that I made for an 8 year old.  Today I am posting the pillowcase that I just finished for her 9th birthday next week! Happy Birthday GR!

Using applique to put a child's name on their gift is super fun and makes it special for them!

A gift for a recent college graduate.  Wanted to make something useful.

Gonna finish that quilt!

I am almost finished with my semester in library school, and finishing this quilt (which is so close) is next on the list!

Multi-generational Quilt

                              A lap quilt that I finally finished for my mother-in-law.

The story is that her mother (my husband's grandmother, and quite a quilter) cut the small squares but never did anything with them.  My mother-in-law gave me the pieces to "do something with".  It took a while, but I put together something that I am happy with.  The truly vintage fabrics were a lot of fun to work with.

Baby Gifts

I have three new babies in my life, and nothing brings out the crafty gifter in me more than babies!

 A hexagon ball for Beatrice ... which her older sister Amari thought was quite fabulous.

                            A knitted blue cap that ties under the chin for Max.

   And a play mat with extra padding and interesting fabrics for some floor time for Rowan.

Birthday Presents for an 8 year old

My beautiful next door neighbor, Gillie Rose, turned 8 today.  I made her two gifts to accent her new loft bed.

A bag that hangs over the railing at the top 

to store her book and other items in. 

A scrappy bunting to hang underneath the loft for decoration.

Pieced Quilt Back

I have finally completed a pieced back for my son's quilt that I am happy with ...which is very exciting, since that means I will be putting together my quilt sandwich (front, batting and back) this week!  Then, let the hand quilting begin!!!
