Hobbies

I have a LOT of hobbies, too many to remember actually. Lately I have been doing several baby, toddler and preschooler quilts. A few years ago I made a few larger ones as part of a humanitarian project. I also have one that I am sewing by hand and have been working on, off and on, for years.

I have to get one more finished tomorrow that is for a birthday that went by a week ago already! Then I promise, there will be more photos on here of all the quilts I have done. At least of all the ones I can find photos of.

To all my Facebook friends, I'll let you know when they are on here! :D

Have a great day/night. See you on the sunny side! (Here's hoping it's not raining again tomorrow.)

Birthday Party Tomorrow?

"Sure Savannah can come." We got the call for Savannah's friends' party approximately 24 hours in advance. A couple years ago I started making quilts for all the kid's birthdays we go to. Well almost all of them. This one was no exception. Could I pull it off? Here's what I did in a few hours! It's not perfect, but it will do for a 4 year old!!!!

Apparently no one can see the "K" on first look. Look at the purple squares! The material is kind of fuzzy, so they don't look all the same color in the photos.

Quilts

This year so far I've been able to complete three child/baby quilts. This is the first one made for Savannah's play school friend for her 3rd birthday. They had the party early and then moved several provinces away! Savannah still asks where Gabby is.

The front is flannel squares of 5 different prints. The back is a solid flannel piece of a different pattern.

The second one we made for baby Magnus. The baby brother of Savannah's best friend, Mya, who is also in our play school.

The front is fleece squares with a pocket and ribbon loops for attaching toys. The back is a solid piece of fleece that matches the front border material.

This last one is for baby Quinn. Yet another baby brother of another girl in our play school! (I'm sensing a theme!) The front is similar to Magnus's blanket piece of blue cotton material.

The writing on the front of the last two quilts is the name meanings I could find on the internet.
