    aaand even more.

    I love this picnic quilt. I made it for my mom over Memorial Day weekend. We sat in the sewing room all weekend and just chatted and laughed while I sewed this together and she pressed all the seams.

    My mom used to read that book to us "Love You Forever" by Robert Munsch and so I secretly quilted:
    "I'll Love You Forever
    I'll Like You For Always
    As Long As I'm Living,
    My Mommy You'll Be"

    i had a heck of a time figuring out the angles for this!

    if you can believe it... there's more. I'm starting to feel a little overwhelmed by how many I have completed in a year.

    And now up to my latest quilt... the 1940's reproduction fabric quilt. I meant for this to be a modified coin quilt of sorts.... I really like how it turned out. I hope she likes it :)

    baby quilt I made for DH's cousin's baby.

    1940's reproduction fabric by Moda... a wedding present for a girlfriend.

    Experiment with little things like placemats! You'll gain confidence. Do you have a darning foot?

    I have say, these are beautiful, and help to inspire confidence in myself. I know one was hand quilted...were the rest machine quilted? Were they done on a long arm, or your regular machine?
