One of my favorite things to do is make a quilt and give it as a gift. I like to see the smile on the recipients face when they open the package. In my workplace I started the tradition of making a baby quilt for co-workers first baby. This has given me great pleasure over the years. One year I was very busy because three sets of twins were born. It was fun making twin quilts.
Once the mom and dad to be have selected a theme or color choice they let me know. It is always fun to hunt for the perfect fabric. The internet has been a great help in finding some really interesting fabric to go with the theme choses. I recently finished a Nautical Theme and a Patriotic Theme. I found the Patriotic Theme fabric online in a store in California. Love the internet. Dad was a Helicopter Pilot in the Navy. I found fabric with helicopters landing on a ship.
I also completed quilts to donate to the shelter where my sister volunteers. I spoke about her work in an earlier post. I will post pictures of some of my baby quilts on my next blog post.
