Here's a cute little quilt I finally got hung up this weekend. I made this quilt start to finish in 3 days while visiting a friend in Ohio in 2000. It is a pattern by Cheri. The basket handles, holly leaves, and berries are done all raw edge applique.
This baby quilt is a lot bigger than I thought! So, I'm calling it a mom and baby snuggle quilt. I'm going to bind it in a wide blue. I'll have to piece the backing too since my ABC fabric is not large enough.
I made this little table topper with the antique redwork. Or it could eventually be a pillow, or a wall hanging or whatever the recipient would like to do with it. Nothing like options, right?! LOL
A funny coincidence about your last picture -- the Paris reminder. Earlier this morning I won a piece of "Paris" fabric on Ebay -- I want to make a pair of pot holders for my niece Abby. We met up with her when we were in Paris and since she's moved from dorm into apartment, I thought this would make a nice reminder! (And there might be enough for a reminder for ME, too!)
ReplyDeleteLovely work, your Holiday quilt.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your cheerful projects.
Oh I am so glad you chose the green for the border. It looks fantastic! Momma and baby will be thrilled.
ReplyDeleteYour Holiday quilt is very cute and you chose a pretty colour for the border !
ReplyDeleteLove the little basket quilt. Very prim in style.
ReplyDeleteI like the borders you decided on for the baby quilt :0) The red work looks nice with that red frame.
ReplyDeleteThat is a sweet little "Cheri" quilt for the holidays.
ReplyDeleteYour Mom and baby snuggle quilt is a good idea. The borders look great.
A wonderful reminder of biking in Paris. Wish I had ever done that, so I could have a reminder of it. : )
You are so productive! the cold and snow are good for getting things done.
ReplyDeleteAre we going to be able to meet up? I'm arriving on Sunday for 2 weeks.
Hope you'll be able to get away!
Love your Christmas quilt and the baby quilt looks beautiful in those colors. It shows better now that they are all together.
ReplyDeleteYou have made some beautiful pillows, another thing on my to do list this year.
