Once again, I'm woefully behind on my blog, but I've been sewing a lot! Our Church has been having a baby boom in the last year and we host a shower for the Moms who have their first babies. I try to make a quilt for each of the babies. Here are the four quilts:
|
This was a really fun quilt to make. Emily's baby, Sawyer, has an elephant print in his room so this was the perfect fabric for his quilt :-). |
|
I couldn't decide on which colour to bind it with so I used both colours. I just did a simple straight line quilting to give it a modern look. |
|
I didn't have enough elephants to do the back so used the rest of the blue as well. |
|
This quilt was for Esther's baby, Mika. It is a pattern by Christy Marnell of Blue Underground Studios, Inc. called, Posh Tot. I thought it would be a great pattern to practise some free motion quilting and ruler work. It took quite awhile, but was fun to do. |
|
I quilted 5 different motifs in the squares and repeated each one three times. |
|
Again, I had to piece the back as I didn't have quite enough of the Lotus leaf print from the Kaffe Fasset Collective. |
|
This quilt was so much fun to make. It's a pattern from Lorna McMahon of Sew Fresh Quilts. It was made for Teresa's new baby, Spencer. |

Fox block #2 |

I almost had enough of this cute fox print for the back so another pieced backing. |
|
Unfortunately this photo is a little washed out. It's the same pattern as the first quilt above. I've misplaced the pattern and will update the information when I find it! This quilt was made for Lisa's new baby girl, June. |
|
I quilted this one with a feather flower pattern with pink thread. |
|
The backing and binding coordinated perfectly with the Kaffe Fasset Lotus Leaf print. |
