Quilty Year in Review


January:



To start off the year I cleaned up my quilting room in the basement.

February:

I had a hard time giving up a quilt I made last year so I redid it and made it bigger.
As you can see its a hit with the kids :)

I made my first ever Mei Tai baby carrier (of a few this year)
I used this one A LOT the first half a year while working around the house especially making supper with an Abigail on my back.

A friend wanted me to help her with this pattern and I loved it and made it fairly quickly. This was a new quilt for Zeke.

May: 




I made this quilt for a friends daughter. The back was more springy and less Dora for her while she grows.

There is so much I love about this quilt and the person I gave it too.
Baby quilt for an unexpected miracle baby. It was my first time doing circles.

I did a tutorial blog post about hiding your threads

http://debaeremaeker.blogspot.ca/2013/11/hiding-threads-in-quilt.html










A friend asked me about making a quilt from her daddy's pj pants. He had passed away. This is the design we came up with. Red was chosen to tie it all together because it was his favourite colour.

Dave requested a geocaching quilt after seeing one at a geocaching event this fall.

We designed this together and made a wall hanging

December:




Jessica asked for a quilt from her Late daddy's button up shirts.
I made her this (She picked the design) and 3- 12 inch block and a wall hanging.
