Spouts.........

When Hain and I taught scouts about 6 years ago, the boys (Craig and Landon) called them "spouts"! anyway the scouts in our current ward stamped their hand prints and signed their name. This iwas a thank you quilt for soemone who served years and timeless hours in our scout program... I made this quilt and finished it a few days before my surgery..... It turned out great, but I thought it needed something extra so I hand stitched around each hand print...

Legos anyone?????

okay so I had a problem.... we have a love for Legos..... but no lego fabric.. anywhere.... at all!!!!
I realized that Carters Lego star Wars shirts were pretty cute....
so decided to make a quilt with them....
We justified spending 6-8 dollars on them for every holiday the past year or two because I knew I would be "recycling" them!!!! So he has quite the collection and I decided to get started.. This is for him for christmas! I am almost finished with it (had to get it done before surgery... now I have to hide it for 2 months!!) I absolutely love it!! Not only because he has worn all of these shirts and I have pictures of him in them.. he has slept in them, played in them, gotten dirt, paint, and who knows what else on them...... But the quilt looks awesome and he is gonna LOVE it!!!

I love it!!!!

been working hard............... my back hurts!!!!!

Wrapped up in a bow!

Love the colors in this baby quilt!!!

Here is a more traditional advent calendar.... They are really cute.. I think cuter in person!!!

This is another advent calendar.. You put tiny ornaments in the pockets at the bottom and hang them on the buttons.. One a day!! The branches are frayed....This is a give away for my blog contest thin I did months ago...

it matches a quilt the winner has .......

A Christmas quilt I love... I know its early.. but I had to get it done. I bought this fabric years ago because I loved it so much. Doesnt it just make you want to go play in the snow... It looks so fun!!!!

Madi cant stay off it!! she pats it and says "Madi, Madi" ya she knows its hers!

I love Madis quilt!!! love it! It is large! it fits her full size bed...... I love the colors, the patterns in the fabric. I love it all. Its all 1940's reprint fabrics...fun!

red & white

I loved making this one... The prints are so cool. And I love how it turned out... but I always second guess myself.... I always love the quilts and how they turn out.. but then I realize I have my own style when making them and I worry the receiver will not like it......which hasnt happened yet that I know of, so why worry??? Heather I hope you like it!!!!
double click to see all of the different prints!!

summer prints.....

This quilt is so summery!!!!

When I was up in washington I fell in love with the fabrics of it. My grandma bought me the fabric as a surprise
(It came in a packet called layer cake... the fabrics were all cut into 10 inch squares and in a stack, which is nice because you get such a variety of fabrics that all so great together)
I came home ready to get started on it! It was really fun to do. I finished it but then really wanted to get it quilted on a quilting machine to see fun designs in it...
so I asked my grandma to quilt it for me and she did.. It looks awesome. I put the binding on it today and it is finished!! Madi couldnt keep off of it. she likes it too!

Butterfly dreams

This quilt was a lot of fun to make... I wanted to keep it! I love it! I got the pattern from a book I have, but enlarged the squares. It turned out to be quite big. I love the contrast of the white fabric with all of the colorful swirled fabric (maybe cant see in this small of a pic, but double click to see larger). I also curved the edges which I hadn't ever done, so I was worried it may not turn out (the binding), but all is well and it looks great! Congrats Sheralyn, cant wait to see your little girl!

This is how I give all of my quilts. Folded up with a ribbon. I like to fold it this way because the surprise is inside..... I almost always use soft fuzzy fabric for my backing.. It just feels so good to wrap a baby up in a nice soft blanket!
I have made so many quilts, probably at least 100. No really, literally 100! I always take pictures of the quilts I make and save all of my thank you cards. I have them side by side in an album... well actually its filled so I need a new one, they are all stacked up now. I love to quilt, make new projects, try new things and serve those around me. I enjoy it so much! I mean who doesnt love to get a brand new handmade quilt right?

Castles and Kings

I made this for a good friend. She picked out the fabric and found the pattern. The castles are pieced and were a lot of fun to make. I quilted it on my grandmas quilting machine with her help. I got to do fun swirls, stippling and wavy lines!

Vintage Flowers

This was made for Amber and Brekkyn. I used many different tiny flower print fabrics. White squares to pop out of the array of flowers.... Many of the fabrics are vintage that I have found at garage sales, my grandma, and mother in law. This is by far one of my favorites...ever!

Twinkle Little Star

There are times I make quilts and fall in love with them... and it is hard to part with... yes this is one of them. I love it!!! Now I couldnt and havent kept a quilt I have made for someone else. That is impossible since I make each quilt for a specific person. I have their thoughts, styles and likes in mind as I pick and choose the fabric and patterns :)
I do not premake them "in case" someone has a baby..... Besides I dont have time to premake anything!! I barely get these done! I embroidered the words and did patchwork to frame them. Super soft fleece is on the back in royal blue. I made this for a friend who had her first baby , a boy!! Enjoy Christine! and baby Caden!
