Look What Came in the Mail This Time!

My talented mother has made more dresses for Gigi! Here she is in the latest two. I admit, we got the inspiration for the flower pocket on the yellow and red one from one of the fabric designer's blogs (can't remember which one). Aren't these great???

Tim's T-Square Texas Tech Quilt

I made this quilt for my 20 year old son Tim - that's him in the top photo. It was really hard to photograph! The camera got all freaked out by the reds contrasting with the blacks. These are the best I could do. That's my five year old, Wolfgang in the second photo. He says hi.

I originally wanted to make these T-square blocks for the entire quilt but quickly realized that 3 hours per block, not including cutting, was a little ambitious for a 36 block quilt. So since he loves Texas Tech I alternated with squares of Tech fabric, which was funny because the Ts in the Texas Tech logo look exactly like the pieced T blocks and made it look like the Ts stood for Texas Tech all along, instead of Tim (which it was really supposed to be). I also made a mistake measuring the borders and cut them all the same length, when obviously two will be the same as the quilt across, but the other two need to compensate for the extra length provided by the first two. No matter, I just threw in corner squares. And voila! Another quilt was born. I make mistakes in every quilt I make, being self taught, but I soldier on and no one knows but me (and now you!). Shhh!

Sydney's Quilt

Today i'm going to showcase one of my earlier baby quilts, one I made for a work friend's baby Sydney. I was still writing the letters big back then, and it is smaller than the ones I make now. What's funny is I didn't really know what I was doing, so some of the square patches came out as rectangles, and this gave the overall effect of pink flowers with yellow centers and green leaves. This baby is probably nearing middle school now!

Enjoy!

Look What Came in the Mail!

Not the baby, the dress! I already had the baby. My mother made the sweetest dress for her! Look how cute Gigi looks in this dress made from Heather Bailey Freshcut fabric. Isn't my mom talented? Thanks so much mom!

Juliette's Cat Quilt

Who says babies have to be human? I made this cute little quilt for my friend Erin's baby, her cat Juliette. I was making Erin a wedding quilt and had enough material left over to make this great little quilt. Juliette loves it and so does Erin. Enjoy!
