I've been away for two months, and when I returned I discovered that my daughters had given away all of the baby quilts in my collection. Apparently, they needed a lot of baby gifts! So, I got right to work on replenishing the collection. Here is my first baby quilt. Hopefully there will be more to come!
It's summertime, and I became inspired by an array of summer colors. This couch quilt, made in the scrappy style, combines turquoise and purple! Who would have known that these colors look so beautiful together!
Springtime is a time of gift giving and we are both preparing lots of gifts for our upcoming travels to see our kids in the States.
Hana is making placemats, microwave cozies, and tote bags.
Amy is making quilts, placemats and tote bags. Here are some of them --
My daughter and her husband are moving into a new apartment. Their two boys will get a bunk bed with stairs (instead of a ladder) and the bottom bunk will be a double bed. They say that the double bed is great for sleep-overs, but I know that it will be so much more comfortable for the parents falling asleep while putting the boys to sleep!
I made matching quilts for the new room. Thank you to Hana for the inspiration and for the special outer space fabrics! Look for the spaceships, planets, meteors, and astronauts!
Here is the double bed quilt --
And this is the matching single bed quilt --
My 6 1/2 year-old grand-daughter "needs" a new quilt for a big girl! So, I made her one in the new disappearing nine-patch style, as a Hanukah surprise! I hope she will love the navy blue and orange!
I have been busy making the following three couch quilts, all of them for the winter, with flannel backing. I enjoy making these because they are an easy size to manage in the quilting stage. Usually, with big double bed quilts, I find it very hard to maneuver. But these are fun and easy.
This quilt is in the disappearing nine patch style --
These two are made for my twin granddaughters who share a bedroom. They are made in different styles with some matching fabrics. The top one is also in the disappearing nine patch style.
These two matching baby quilts were made by Hana for our friends who just had another grandchild!! One is a carriage quilt and the bigger one is for the crib. Mazel tov!!
