AYOQ: Let It Snow!

When you are born in December, you'll be needing a nice warm quilt for the winter months.  Although it doesn't snow at the beach in San Diego, we can always imagine!  Backed in soft flannel that was a hand-me-down from the collection of a friend's grandmother, this whimsical quilt will delight for many years.

Midwinter Reds

Just a little tumbler quilt made from a charm pack named "Midwinter Reds."  I'll use it as a table runner.

Baby, It's Cold Outside! and a SnowMan!

A table runner/wall quilt made in the cold of January (well, OK, "Cold" as defined by San Diego's few cold days in January!) It's a layout of my own design, squares and half square triangles.  the quilt takes shape by the layout of the colors.  A little red hot spot!  Freestyle snowflakes (like we used o cut when we were in grade school!) Machine quilted with "scribbles" to help hold the snowflakes down.

From the scraps, I made a little wall quilt for my friend Sharon's birthday which falls right after Christmas.  Sharon always decorates her house in January with blue, white and snowmen. 

P.S. It's not like we really have a clue about "SNOW!"  hahahaha

Surfing Penguins

This simple large block quilt exists simply to help me switch Christmas decorations "off" before Valentines comes along.  Made for reading/relaxing in the living room, it features 4 fabrics, the main theme being surfing arctic penguins.
