My Cherry Blossom Quilts

Friends are having babies so I’ve been stitching a few quilts.

The back of this one reminds me of Cherry Blossoms, one of my favorite trees.

I think this tree was about 18’’ when we planted it, now it gives us a wonderful shady spot.

Soft edge quilt made with mostly Fox Trails fabric.

Burp pads made from cotton diapers, these are so fun to make and cute!!

Enjoy your garden and have fun in it… I will!!!

Happy Spring

Urban Chiks 1974

I love this fabric and did make one quilt out of it.  I had some yardage and a jelly roll left and it worked out perfect for a shower curtain in one of my bathrooms. I love the way it came out and now I get to see this favorite fabric daily…

I washed and dried all the fabrics (put the jelly roll in a pillowcase) trimmed all the threads, folded, pressed and pleated the strips on my machine then attached the jelly roll flowers to the fabric.

 

And Pinterest gets me soooo side tracked, now I’m totally “hooked” on making these….. circle in squares grannys.

Merry Christmas

Finished my Christmas Tree Pants sew along hosted by Monica at the Happy Zombie.  I used Kona natural and red linen.

Outlined all my stars with some vintage cotton ric-rac that I have a lifetime supply of (thanks to my sweet Mama), hand stitched every peak and valley cause I didn’t want it to curl and I’m anal like that …lol  also added a border.

Hand quilted with red perle.

I made two new red linen table cloths, a natural runner and 15 napkins in a Denyse Schmidt print.  Now I just need to add dishes, cook and bake  and I’ll be ready for Christmas Eve dinner! I wish Christmas was a couple more weeks away so I could enjoy the anticipation a little longer….. I surprised myself at how much I like my table arrangement, I’m really happy with it.  Inspired by this pin.

Two firsts!

First T-Shirt quilt (for a friend).  Lady Lions basketball!

I had one block left over so I made a pillow to match.

First time machine stitching my binding.

I love the way this quilt turned out and am sure I will make one for each of my kids someday….Sigh lol

Her Mama wrote a sweet note and I attached and embroidered it to the quilt.
