Chevron baby quilt

I am so in love with this quilt.  It's just a simple baby quilt but I think it's just too precious!  I used some aqua Riley Blake chevrons and appliqued the red words on there.  I just love the aqua and red color combination.  I got the idea for this quilt from the tutorial by V and Co. on the Moda Bake Shop website.

I had fun taking these pictures in my little town.  The people driving by probably thought I was crazy.

Have a great day!

Baby Aubree's quilt

As soon as I found out that my friend Sharon was going to have a granddaughter I scoured the internet looking for the just the right quilt to make for the baby's room and I think I found it.  I absolutely adore this family tree panel that is part of the Children at Play line by Sarah Jane studios.  

Sharon has an embroidery machine so she embroidered all the family names onto the panel and then I took it from there.

I just added a couple of borders and then quilted it using a wide crosshatch pattern.  I'm so happy with the results and I hope baby Aubree will grow to love it too.

Happy Thursday!

Twin girls

I am so proud of these two quilts.  I just love the red & aqua color scheme.  I made these for my cousins twin girls that were born in late May.  I'm a little late getting them to her but I don't think she will mind because I'm pretty sure she's busy taking care of 2 little ones right now.

My sweet dog wanted to get in on the photo shoot.

I chose a precious dark pink polka dot for the backing and binding.

Here's a closeup of the quilting which is just straight line quilted 1/4" away from each seam. I did it all by myself!

This is the dog that stole my heart and made me a dog person...sweet Aggie Belle.

Have a great day!

100 Quilts for Kids - #2

I'm so happy to show you my second quilt for 100 Quilts for Kids.  I had a great time making this quilt.  I've had this fabric for a while and could never find just the right pattern to use it with until I came across the {mini} Modern Rose Garden by Carolina Patchworks.  The fabric is Woodland Delight by Paula Prass.  I just love the big huge floral pattern, oh and the aqua/red/gray color combination is just so pretty.  

This precious little girl quilt will also go to the Coweta Pregnancy Services along with my other donation quilt. Just look at those HUGE flowers on the back, I just love that fabric so much.

I pray this quilt can be a blessing to a mother and daughter who could use a little extra love right now.

Happy Tuesday!

100 Quilts for Kids - #1

I am so glad today is Friday.  The weather is going to be cool this weekend and I'm hoping to stay in my pajamas as much as I can.  Yeah!

My first quilt for the 100 Quilts for Kids is complete and I just love it!  This quilt is going to Coweta Pregnancy Services and will be part of a basket that is given to newborn babies.  I pray this quilt will provide some hope and comfort to the family it goes to.  The local pregnancy services center also runs a boutique called The Hope Boutique and the mother's can earn "mommy dollars" by attending pregnancy and parenting classes.  The moms can use these dollars at the boutique to buy new and gently used baby and maternity items.  What a great way to provide help to these women in their moment of need.

I'm really happy with the way this quilt turned out.  I won the charm pack of Neptune from Kate (thanks, Kate!) who is sponsoring the 100 Quilts for Kids so I knew I wanted to pay it forward and make the quilt to donate to a child.  I mixed the Neptune with some Kona solids and a polka dot I already had in my stash.  The back is mainly the polka dot with a stripe of the navy and some of the leftovers from the charm pack.

Hope you have a great weekend!
