Our friends were getting married and I wanted to make them a quilt for thier bed. But Chehayla was schedualed for a hospital addmition so I didnt have the time I needed....
..I found this patteren an a magazine. Finished it just in time, droped it off on the way to the hospital, 3 days b4 the wedding. Although I do still want to put some more embelishments on the cake.
This has turned out to be one of my favorite patterns. Its a "kalidascope"...
..I made this one for a little girl who heard about Chehaylas story and started going door to door collecting donations for the foundation.
This was my entry for a yearly quilt challange. The theme was "Green Eggs & Spam". The quilts get displayed in a coffee shop downtown during October....
... I didnt figure out how to do this quilting detail till after the show was over. The oval pices were just glued on (shh-I dont think any one noticed). The trick was to use a button hole stich!...
..Now it hangs at my Nannys house.
I absolutly LOVE this quilt! The pattern called for paper piecing (which I just dont get-its on my bucket list), anyway I had to trace every piece and add 1/4 to all the edges then cut it out in fabric on the wrong side...very time consuming. But the best part is that it actually turned out! I made it for St. Judes Childrens Reseacch Hostipal.
I made this real quick for Aden when I was pregnant with Chehayla. I was working on the edge trying to get it finished as I was in labor. I was pretending that I was fine but really I was holding out for Shane to get home from work.
Brianne I love the quilt you made for St. Jude Hospital. What a great picture of the five of us. We had such a good time this year at the walk. You are doing a fantastic job and you are a very brave soul. Happy Birthday!!! Love, Nanny (aka) The Great GrandNanny.
