A Ray Bradbury fan had to zero in on that quilt :D I loved the effect of looking out into space. I bought the fabric at Walmart and it is very good quality but when I went back for more they were all out. Thus the black holes.

Very lucky grankids. You certainly have been busy for being such a newbie. I'm sure they'll all love them. What's not to love???!!!
Keep up the good work, Kutnso

Thanks so much, I think those came from Joanne's online, the retro flowers and the seashells. The pillowcase body came from a recent trip to Japan. I couldn't find that peach color at any of the local stores.

All the quilts are very pretty and nicely done.

Your hand embroidery is very good also. Must have taken you ages to complete each quilt.

I wish you had more grandchildren as i would love to see what you would come up with next.

Thank you so much, you surely are gracious! Actually, I didn't do anything by hand stitching except the binding. The rest was done by machine. When I look at the quilting that others do, I know I'd never be able to be that accurate so I resort to liberal free motion quilting with no patterns. That makes everything go quicker if you don't have to trace and worry about going outside the lines. Happy Thanksgiving!

I like the idea of presenting the quilts in their pillow cases. I am going to make the tube pillow case over the Christmas break - so may make a quilt to go with it! I love the cupcakes and sundae ideas for the girls and the masculine approach for the boys.
