Laura's Baby Quilt

Laura made this darling quilt for her granddaughter, Chloe. She had baby shower participants decorate a square of paper and then she hand embroidered their designs onto these squares. The colors in this first photo are not very true. The second one is closer.

She had the quilt tied, but was worried that it wouldn't hold up. We decided on the panto Daisy Swirl and I used So Fine and Bottom Line threads along with Hobbs 80/20 bleached batting.

It is an heirloom for sure!

What's Going On Around Here?

Not really a question, just a few things to blog about. I've been very bad about blogging lately.

Tomorrow I'm driving to Indy to attend the Indiana Blue Star Salute. I've never attended this event, but I'm told it will be a fun day.

I got this fabric cut up to make another quilt. Here's a peek at them before the stitching started.

Speaking of peeks....here's a peek at Laura's baby shower quilt. She had attendees write out their sentiments and then she embroidered them, exactly as written. What a cute idea!! What a lot of work, but so worth it.

Laura's Strip Quilt

Laura's Strip Quilt, that's what I'm calling it for lack of a better description. This 110" x 90" quilt is incredibly simple, yet so sophisticated.

A simple panto, Jacobean with black thread and Quilters Dream batting.

I love this center fabric!
