I really like this and to think a child in need will receive it.
|
What an adorable cheerful quilt! Great job :thumbup:
|
Wow. What a lovely cheerful quilt....
|
Thank you everyone, I appreciate it!
|
That is soooooo cute. And what a fun idea!
|
So cute and awesome quilting.
|
You are going to make some child very happy. I love your quilt and the quilting is exquisite.
|
That is so darn cute I can hardly contain myself! Beautiful job piecing and superb quilting! Design is adorable! I love embroidery, you are so free to creat. I think it would make any pirate proud!
|
My that is wonderful! I cannot imagine ever getting one like that put together, let alone quilting it. It is absolutely adorable and some child will love it and treasure it.
|
I just love that! Such a great job!!

I can pretend I'm 5 yrs. old :lol: Your quilt and quilting are very nice. How wonderful you are to give that to a child in need.
|
Your quilt is amazing. love the colours, the design, the PIRATES. I have the monkey shines set but haven't made it yet. May I ask which machine you used and what size hoop is required? Thanks for sharing your darling quilt with us.

Just visit a local childrens home or hospital, you'll find so many children that need hugs you won't have time to make quilts for all of them. Have you considered donating it for a fund raiser for the pediatrics ward of a hospital or for something for a childrens' home? Just a thought. |
OMG!!! This is spectacular. I absolutely love it. I wish it had been fussy cut fabric instead of embroidery because I'd love to make one of these for my 18 mo old grandson. he is a monkey boy. But embroidery is just too hard on my hands. and I don't have a machine.
Maybe if I look around I can find similar fabric to fusst cut to make something liek this. You did an awesome job and your quilting is gorgeous!!!!! |
I love it. It is just so precious.
|
OMG! It is darling.
|
Very cute quilt!
|
from what you said I expected to see a poor job of quilting, but it is just the opposite - beautiful quilt, cute design, and WONDERFUL quilting.
|
What a wonderful quilt. Some child is going to be very blessed to receive it.
I too would be tempted to donate it to a good cause that has an annual auction/raffle fundraiser....I suspect it would raise a large amount of money! While it wouldn't go to a child in need, you might be helping many more than you know. What a great thing you have done....and I agree the quilting is gorgeous! |
Thank you everyone. I contacted a friend who works in the ICU at the Arkansas Children's hospital, a home has been found for the quilt, and I will be sending along the pink confetti quilt (I posted it a couple of months ago) I made so that there is one for a little girl as well.
I love the idea of doing an auction, with the proceeds going to a local charity! I may do another with that goal in mind, thanks for those of you who suggested that! |
That is so cute!
|
so cute and a wonderful job done
|
I LOVE THIS QUILT!! It's so pretty.
|
adorable!
|
Your quilt is awesome!!!
|
I could use a hug! That is just too cute. A friend and I decided just last week to make quilts for an orphanage in Little Rock. I don't believe there is any way we can make any that cute!
|
Incredible quilting. I think that is great about donating it to a small child in need of a hug.
