Funky Placemats

My sister asked me to make a set of  placemats as a gift for her daughter-in-law.  Now, the truth is that I've been doing a lot of quilting during this period and I don't have big pieces of fabric left on my shelf.  Everyone tells me to order fabric on-line from Pissot, a great shop at the Bilu junction.  But I find it very hard to choose fabric on-line. So, instead, I decided to create something funky from remnants!  This is a set of 8 placemats, each one different, but all obviously part of one set.

Baby Girl Quilt

This one is for sale!  I've been discovering a lot of calm through my quilting, which is a lifesaver during these strange times.  This quilt was made with some fragments of previous quilts and with a bunch of fat quarters that I had in my stash!

It's a Girl!

This baby quilt was ordered by my friend Bella.  I hope the new mother likes it!

Beautiful Design

My 10-year-old granddaughter has shown real interest in learning how to sew.  In the past, she sewed a number of small items.  Here you can see her first attempt at a real quilt!  It is the size of a couch quilt. She did the design and all the sewing and I did the fancy quilting stitch.  She'll learn the quilting on the next project!  She even learned a bit of embroidery so that she could embroider an inscription to her friend who has a birthday in a few weeks. And let's be honest, no one is taking her to the mall to buy a gift.  So she decided to make one!

New Baby Quilt

Just in the last week, I have gotten orders for 3 crib quilts.  I guess people aren't going out shopping and are looking for ways to buy creative baby gifts!

Here is the first one, all embroidered with the baby's name, and ready to go!

A New T-shirt Quilt

Things are opening up and frankly, it's quite scary.  Who knows what's going to happen.  I just pray that all of us will stay healthy.

Here's my latest -- a t-shirt quilt made for my daughter's new home.  They bought a great ground-floor apartment with a wrap-around garden, not far from us!  Wishing them many years of happiness and health in their new home!

The Calm of Quilting

In these uncertain times, I have been finding a lot of peaceful comfort and calm in my quilting.  This new quilt was actually begun months ago, and now finally I found enough time and energy to complete it.  It is made up of 4" squares of a specialty fabric that has golden marbling running through it.  Sort of regal!

The quilt is meant for my grand-daughter's upcoming 5th birthday!  Wouldn't it be nice to be able to hug her and give it to her in person?
