Surf's Up

When my friend Kristin excitedly announced the fact that she was expecting her second baby, many years after her first, much celebration was in order!  later we all learned, she was having a second son.  Since her family is very involved in surfing, it seemed only right that the quilt would be a Surf's Up quilt.  Many of the fabrics were a score of fabric from another co-worker.  It all ties together!
The 6' triangles came together so quickly!  I'll make another for my grandson from the scraps.

Baby Girl Low Volume Hexies



The idea of a hexie quilt held my attention for some time. The right baby came along, with a light colors scheme and a rose pop.  I gathered these low volume prints and this quilt just flew together.
Since then, Pete has asked me to make him a manly hexie quilt, in greens and tans, as the shapes remind him of the terrain maps in his beloved war simulation games.

Oh So Soft! Cuddle Rag Quilt

I bought a package of 20 minky squares in this darling baby boy colorway, and then made a rag quilt with flannel on the back side.  Never made a rag quilt, but it couldn't have been easier!  Certainly a good quilt to teach a child or beginner.
For Baby Benny!

This quilt was lost in a house fire in 2015.

Happy Little Hand Quilted Girly Quilt

Started this one when I learned I was to be a grandma!  Didn't know then if the new baby was a boy or a girls, but for a girl, I certainly wanted something feminine and hand quilted.  Finished it and learned the baby-to-be is to be a BOY!  So now I have my direction and this quilt will be gifted to my niece.
