Quit for Emily and Chris

Dave's niece got married this summer so I had to get moving on a quilt for her. 

I pulled these fabrics her mom though would be nice for the married couple (She did say Emily would like the girly girly ones but better get more neutral for the both of them. lol)

While staying at my mom and dads, We pulled out the quilt to grab some photos. 

i love it all crinkly

I found this laundry basket at the dollar store to wrap it in

On their bed 

 

Heres a few from their wedding! 

and the skies just opened up

so we finished inside

Quilt for Ari

 

Someone on a FB page posted a quilt from this panel. I KNEW who I needed to make this for. 

I tracked down the panel on etsy 

And started free motion quilting

I started with the dress

and the steps

around the chicken feathers. (ended up going over them with 2 colours)

Quilted down the window frame and the window and the sunflower

I love how her hair turned out. straight on the brushed piece and curly on the ends

Everything was well quilted down except the girl. I just followed her outlines so she would stand out.

you can see that on her face and hands.

I gave the chickens a bit more definition on their wings and heads

got the grass

I love the curls on the pig

the fabric didnt have any woodgrain in the print so I added it with quilting

love that hair!

and done!!!

I used all these threads in the quilting of this panel. 

And here is Ari!! they also have chickens. 

I think you can understand why I needed to make this for her!

Her mom said that she exclaimed "thats me!!" when she saw it for the first time!

label

the back

and the hangers to put a dowel through to hang it. 

Its fun to see the quilting on the other side. I wish I either used a darker bobbin or a lighter/less busy backing to see it even better. 

Baby quilt for melissa #3

 My sister Melissa had her 3rd baby! 

Because of the Pandemic I was unable to take this up to her and deliver it to her (or take photos) 

Little Harold was born Nov 16th and I mailed this quilt to them the same day. But I had it ready already. 

It started back in late 2018. My friend MC wanted to design a quilt and us do it as a mystery quilt. She was hoping for a tessellating pattern. 

I started with this plane fabric

found some to go with it!

turned out pretty cute

borders on

back

It was too cute to just give away to anyone, so I wanted to keep it for Melissa if and when she had another baby. In fact I kept both a boy and girl quilt just in case. She doesnt find out the gender while pregnant so I had to wait for Harold to be born before mailing it so I knew which one to send!

a bit wrinkled from being folded for almost 2 years

isnt he cute!

and his siblings love him!
