Christmas Gift Quilts

These are the two quilts I made as Christmas gifts:

This one was for Robbie, Catherine's boyfriend, who will be son-in-law next December. Its made from 5inch homespun squares. It was fun and easy to put together and Catherine said it looked very "manly". I hope Robbie really enjoys it this cold winter!

This one I made for Catherine. It was the Batik block exchange at Quilt Guild in 2009.

Its called Twirl. I really like how the black sashing sets off the blocks.

I quilted them both myself on my friend Linda's longarm.

Starry Wonders Block of the Month

This is the block of the month quilt I did last year and finished this summer. Its from Little Quilts--my favorite local quilt shop.

I love traditional quilt patterns and reproduction fabrics. I really like the variety of colors in this one--the cheddar stars really add a lot to the whole quilt.

Shannon did the quilting--again a fabulous job.

Quilt Show

This is the quilt I entered in the East Cobb Quilt Show. It was a block of the month from a local quilt store.
Shannon & me with my quilt. Shannon did the quilting. She won a bunch of ribbons for quilts she had hanging in the show, including Best Machine Quilted.

This is the quilt that won Shannon the Best Machine Quilted ribbon. She is a fabulous longarmer; does everything freehand, no patterns, no pantographs, just what comes out of her brain. She is a true artist.

Rain, rain

Well, we kinda got rained out of the street festival. We stuck it out a while but having no tent, just umbrellas, we were soaked before it even started. A friend took us under her tent, but when the next deluge rolled through, we packed up and left. Next craft table opportunity will be Nov 7th at OFH on New Macland Rd.

Baby Items for sale!!

Since July, I've been sewing and embroidering like crazy, getting ready for the West Cobb Street Festival this Saturday, Sept 19th from 11-3. Whew!! I've got a table with Heirloom baby bonnets, pillows, bibs and burp cloths. And I'll take orders for custom work.

The Street Festival benefits Our Father's Hands, clothing for a cause. It's a great ministry that feeds the homeless in the Atlanta area. They have a store which sells gently used, name brand, second hand clothes.

Bootleg Bonnet

I call this my bootleg bonnet. Don't ask 'cause I'm not telling--its a long story.

Anyway, I've had the kit for a while and finally made it up today. It was pretty easy and went together quick and I think it turned out really cute. With the embroidered cross on the back it would make a great christening bonnet.

Heirloom Baby Diaper Set

I made this little outfit as a shower gift. Isn't it just too cute!?!

I make custom heirloom christening gowns, daygowns, slips, bonnets, booties, layettes, in all natural fibers.
