not a baby quilt!

My friend, Jerry from Florida turned 65 years old.  He loves doing Sudoku puzzles.  I made him a quilt following a puzzle in the paper.  Every color was assigned a number and a quilt was made!

The backing fabric was from Ikea.  I love the written numbers, very appropriate for a Sudoku quilt.

 

Happy Birthday Jerry!

QRANK

Do you qrank?  It is a daily trivia game I play through my iphone.  I made this qrank quilt for my son-in-law’s 40th birthday.

You can see my daughter’s foot in the above photo!

It was so much fun designing and making this quilt.  If you are not “qranking” yet, give it a try.

continuing with the baby theme….

Another baby quilt, this one for a sweet girl named Mabel.

The fabric is from Sarah Fielke  ”from little things”.  I love the whimsical designs and colors of this fabric line.  I have some leftovers, soon I will be making a quilt for me (hope,hope,hope!).

Have a great day.  I am now living in Minnesota and loving it!

baby quilt ect.

I know, I keep making baby quilts.  Most of my friends are having new grandchildren, so that calls for quilts as gifts!  I was looking at Moda Bake Shop blog and I came across this pattern designed by V & Co. I fell in love!

Sorry the pictures seem so dark.  It is white fabric with Navy, blue and orange.  The soon-to-be mother is doing the nursery in those colors.  It will be a boy and I think that will make a great looking room.  Here are some more pictures including the back.

Have a great Halloween!!!

Baby, babies

Everyone is having a baby!!!  I love to make baby quilts (easy to piece and easy to quilt!).  Ashley had another baby boy.  I had some Ikea fabric(which I love) and proceded to design and piece a quilt.

 

It went fast and was fun.  I did outline quilting around all the animals.  She loved it and I hope Julius loves it too when he is a little older.

Have a great day, I realize some of you are freezing, but down here it is still hot and humid!

Here comes the bride

I made a quilt as a wedding present for a couple getting married here in Florida.  They are both actors and have appeared in commercials and sitcoms.  I wanted a movie theme and looked online for fabric.  I found some with cameras and things associated with filming.

I always have a problem with novelty fabric, so I decided to use it length-wise and fill in the other with stripes and stars.  I think it turned out really cute.  I hope they like it as much as I do.

Sorry about the lighting issues.  I took these pictures in Minnesota.  Now I am back in sunny Florida so future pictures should be better!

more pictures

Wow, it has been awhile.  I am in Minnesota and had my daughter take some pictures of my inspirational quilt.  She has a better camera and let’s face it, she is better at it that me!

I finally mailed it to my niece and she loved it.  Hopefully, it will inspire her to do her best in college.  She will be starting in September.  Good Luck Sam!!!

Have a “dreamy” day!
