Dragons and Wizards

I am finished with the theme quilt and mailing it to a little baby boy.  It has a soft flannel back to make it cozy.  I hope it keeps him warm and happy.  Now I have to get started on the little girls quilt I have cut out.  She arrived early so I have to hurry.  

Top of the baby quilt is done.

Well my goal today was to finish the baby quilt top. Next comes pressing, cutting the batting and the soft flannel back, and quilting.

New Quilt

After a break for the holidays, I am working on a new theme baby quilt. I never used a panel before but this was the only way to get the theme fabric I wanted. I hope to finish this in a few days. 

The Tuffet

Today was the second and final tuffet class. Julia Struthers was a great teacher. On earlier post I showed the sections that I had to sew together and the completed tuffet cover. Today Julia guided us through the upholstering process. It was so much fun. We used hammers and staple guns connected to compressors. I was with the same group of ladies and we enjoyed finishing our tuffets.  

I enjoyed departing from my quilt making and trying something new. This was hard because as many of you know I quilt by hand. I had to use my mom's machine. I know she was smiling. Of course, now I'm hooked and want to make another one. I think I want to make one for a little girls room or a baby girls nursery.  My daughter suggested I make a matching quilt.  Great gift idea.

Baby Quilts

The color was green and the theme was fairies. 

More Baby Quilts

The theme was a nautical one with blues and brown.

Pink fairies for this room.  

More of my past work.

I have shared some of my past work with you.  I thought I would share a few more things. I mentioned that I make baby quilts. I think they make a great gift that can last a lifetime.  I get pictures from parents of their little ones napping under my comfy quilts.  I always put flannel on the back so they are soft and warm.  I always ask if the parent has a theme and/or color scheme. I am currently working on two quilts for babies right now.  I will post some pictures of completed quilts in the next few posts for you to see.
