Abbi and Scotty's quilts
9 Attachment(s)
My older grandchildren never got a baby quilt from me as I was not a quilter yet. So this Christmas, they each got big quilts. I was so pleased with their responses. Scotty said he wants to take his everywhere, including his own home when he marries some day.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]384281[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]384282[/ATTACH] I don't have a sewing studio yet in this home, so had to remove a queen bed to set up the frame. And I don't have handles on the Juki, so I just hang on to the knob on top :) [ATTACH=CONFIG]384283[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]384284[/ATTACH] The kids are musical... Scotty on the tuba and Abbi on the flute and she is the drum majorette at school. So I embroidered these labels [ATTACH=CONFIG]384285[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]384286[/ATTACH] I made up the quilting designs and did them freehand. Scotty got musical notes and curlycues [first time doing these... they are a tad too dense] Several people remarked that they liked them. You can see that I put piping around the center of the quilt. [ATTACH=CONFIG]384287[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]384288[/ATTACH] Abbi got stars in the inner border and circles on the white patches of the outer border. She called the circles musical notes and I didn't try to change her thinking :) [ATTACH=CONFIG]384289[/ATTACH] Since I flew to their house, I boxed them taping it all over to prevent damage... used it as my checked luggage. It was the cheapest way to get them there. And I didn't have to bring an empty suitcase home. Now all of my DGKs have quilts and I can start on the grandnieces/nephews. Thanks for looking. |
Love the way you made them individualized for your Gkids! They can never forget you made them JUST for them!
