Finishing up a quilt project is always a great "Feel Good" moment.  Afterall, if we didn't like making quilts, we probably wouldn't be making them, right? But for me, the very best part of making a quilt is not just the finishing of it--but wrapping it up and giving it away!

 

First, you get to see the look on someone’s face when they realize that you’ve spent all this time making something special just for them, their home or their new baby. Then time passes--and we get to see how well loved and much appreciated this quilt becomes--a member of the family.

We work hard to make these quilts—to make these memories—so we earn the right to enjoy this moment. Don’t pass it up—don’t mail it, don’t send it with your cousin who’s going to be driving back home for the shower—no! Giving someone a homemade quilt is personal—so make it personal and do this yourself. Trust me, you’ll be glad you did.

Recently I’ve seen some really cool (and finished!) baby quilts. Check out Theresa's fabulous stack-n-whack for her daughter lady Z! 

 Fun, colorful, highly inventive—no cows jumping over the moon for these new moms! So here’s a little show-and-tell for you—a little eye candy, a little inspiration and a whole lot of “wow"!

baby "Twister" pieced by Kate--

baby "Posh" -- a new Blue Underground Studios pattern pieced by Amy Walsh with Kaffe's cobalt paperweight and backed with orange minkee!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

baby "Gum Drops" another fun BUS pattern -- pieced by me as a shop sample.  (We'll be teaching this one as a Saturday project class in Sept--stay tuned for more details!)   Okay--I've had emails asking for the dates of this class.  We'll be doing this 4-patch class on Saturday mornings Sept 6, 13 & 20 @ 10a to 1p.
