Triangles

My daughter-in-law mentioned she would love to have a throw quilt for the family room. She would like it made from all the scrap fabric I have used over the years for them. I did my best and hoped they would enjoy the memories. It did grow in size from a throw to about a queen.

I Spy!

I Spy a grandson's quilt. I looked for all kinds of interesting fabric for his little jars of goodies. He and his sisters often play I Spy so I felt this was a fitting quilt for a 6 year old.

The Illusion!

This pattern is Illusion, and was fun to make. This was a Christmas gift for our son and daughter-in-law. Her favorite color was green so all the blocks have green. It has a modern flare, which I think they like. I did put grey flannel on the back. It will be a warm and cozy winter for them.

My granddaughter Lucy needed a new bag for her gymnastic programs.  So mommy and Lucy went fabric shopping and picked out two fabrics that coordinated. They settled on a paisley and a animal print that worked very well together. Lucy gave me some design ideas and this is what we ended up with. We had a few scraps left and made a little zippered bag to match. It was a fun project.

Not sure why this when sideways but this is a picture of Lucy at her Gymnastic meet with her new bag.

This was a fun lattice table runner to make. It would even be a great quilt. The runner was for my daughter-in-law Sarah's birthday...who isn't having birthdays anymore. ;D

What a cold snowy January this year in Ohio. What better time to quilt. I decided on a Five and Dime quilt as done in the tutorials on Missouri Star Quilts. I had some great assistants, Lucy and Paige, granddaughters who helped me arrange the fabrics. One of the best things I did was back it with flannel, it just stays there and doesn't move or shift. Very cozy!

Kayden, my Grandson, has had patience while I worked on his quilt. He picked the quilt out last winter and we did a few blocks together so he could be involved. I just gave him this for his birthday this winter. He said he remembered working on it and he put it on his bed immediately, along with a big smile. This is a little larger than a twin, which I think it too small anyway for kids. They need room to grow.
