Kyler's

I decide for Kyler I would make a quilt like my Grandma would have made,

 he would have been her 28th great grandchild (I think).When she passed away 

I took over for her in making baby quilts for all the babies born in our family.

 She used to hand cut all the blocks from old clothing. 

I used some older material I had and some from my mothers fabric closet.

I also did some chunky hand quilting, I still love an old fashion quilt!

More Totes

Okay this is my last batch of totes for a long while!

I made these for someone to give as gifts and although I had a 

great time picking fabrics I would rather make quilts.

The close-up shows the different linings in each one.

The chevron bag is actually an upholstery material. I wasn't sure 

how it would hold up so although I wash and dry all the material

 for the totes I did this material twice, it held up very well.

I hope the giftees like theirs!

Liam's Charm Squares Quilt Redux

I needed to make a fast baby quilt and found a great pattern by

Elizabeth Hartman , Charm Squares Quilt Redux. 

I did some simple straight line quilting and it is on the way to baby Liam.

This was a quick easy pattern and I will definitely use it again.

Cruzin' is going to Finland

This quilt has finally found a boy to keep warm! 

It is now on the way to Finland for sweet little Aaro.

As soon as I heard Riia and Veli were having another boy 

I new I was going to send this quilt.

Hope this keeps you warm Aaro!
