Pink and blue bow tie lap quilt for a friend's mother who is in memory care. I know when my mother was in a similar situation, the other ladies loved the quilts I brought her. I hope it sparks some joy.

Quilting Season 2024 OPEN!

Finally quilted two of the tops I did last summer! Baby quilts for staff members.

What's slowing me down...

I started this in August of 2020; even bought musical note fabric for it, and have just dragged my feet! Wrist surgery in 2022 didn't help, and I had all of the blocks cut at the end of the summer of 2023, but then thought I had lost some blocks. Finally put it together over winter break.  It's about half machine quilted now, and I've come to another standstill. Hoping to get some done tomorrow because I have a graduation quilt for 2025 that I really need to start! 

 

Summer of 2023 Quilting

I did a number of tops but didn't quilt them; as people at work have babies, it's easy to just quilt the top. I like to do doll blankets if I have extra blocks. 

I'm hoping to be more organized this summer and have a stockpile of quilts going in to the 2024-25 school year. 

 

Primary Four Patch

This quilt was for the son of the couple who had the gray and taupe wedding! A friend hand quilted it, so it's much nicer than my usual quilts. 
 

Maroon and Blue Stars

 

Matching books covers

I review a lot of picture books for Young Adult Books Central, but have no reason to keep most of them. Many get sent to other libraries in my district, and some end up in my school library, but I've been giving some away as baby presents with quilts. It just makes sense, right?

This is the same pattern as the yellow and green, but for another staff member who was decorating her nursery in these colors. 

Also, I am the world's worst photographer!
