A couple latest finishes after long absence
 
3 Attachment(s)
the toddler quilt is my son's quilt. Now that he's a year and a half it's finally done! gotta get started on the next one as soon as they tell me gender so it's done by spring. It is machine pieced and hand quilted. He knows it's his so no one is allowed to touch haha! Not even mommy!! The focus fabric is a baby bear print because my husband's nickname is bear. Every other square center and the middle appliqued square shows the bear fabric. I hand quilted each square and border with a contrasting color in my blue, yellow, green and brown color scheme. The other project is my Autumn seminole patchwork table runner i believe i pieced while still preggers with my first....so 2autumn seasons ago. But finally finished something for me! Also machine pieced and hand quilted with a touch of buttons because i love buttons! No to attmpt o finish hand sein the binding on the Christmas wall hanging for my mother in law today....thanks for looking.

Very nice, and congrats on the new baby ! Doesn't it make you feel so good that your little boy loves his quilt so much :)

My sons are grown now but this made me remember one of my sons that hated it when I washed his "night-night" he called it . I remember seeing him reaching up and holding onto it while it dried on the line outside while he sucked his finger LOL , wish I had , had a camera back then to have gotten a picture .....

Forgot a picture of the back and hand embroidered label. Left out the bottom half with the personal info but you get the idea. it's a dotted minky back, one of my favorite types of backing. Also the matching banner i made for my son as well. Each square is machine appliqued and hand quilted. I added a close up of the hand embroidered bear sitting on a stack of blocks.

both are nicely done

You have one lucky little boy who will cherish this quilt for many years. The wall hanging is perfect for his room, always reminding him of how much he is welcomed and wanted. Congratulations on new little one coming soon and he or she will be just as happy to be part of this loving family.

Thank you all very much!

I believe it was worth the wait. You have done an excellent job.

What a wonderful toddler quilt! I have a new grandson coming in January, and hadn't yet decided on how his little quilt will look. Yours is very inspirational. Thanks for sharing!

JuneBillie 09-17-2013 10:30 AM

He's only a year and a half and will be a few weeks shy of turning 2 when the baby comes. He is seeming to understand; he pats my belly and says baby and kisses my belly and me a lot. But he's ben a cuddlebug since birth!

Beautiful work... I LOVE the baby quilt and your big-stitch quilting on it. Gonna have to try that... it's so charming. (I can't get my hand quilting sts any smaller than that anyway, LOL!)
