Sweet!
|
Beautiful quilt - I love the fuzzy lamb!
|
Darling! I love the fleece for the lambs. Very cute!
|
You did a wonderful job and the quilt is just delightful! I made a quilt for my granddaughter too and used the sheep but I have to say that yours was so much better!
|
Julia is one lucky baby to have a Grandma who can make her such a pretty quilt. You did a great job! Machine quilting isn't cheating. :D
|
Well done-it's adorable
|
Oh! That is just the sweetest, cutest little quilt! You did an incredible job. I know little Miss Julia is going to looove that quilt her whole life.
|
Thank you ALL for such sweet, heart warming compliments. You are all a great bunch of ego boosters! I live in a relatively small area and don't know very many people (and not many people my age in my neighborhood to associate with) and it is nice to have a group like y'all to share my Sleepy Time Lamb quilt with and so special to me to receive all of the compliments. Again, THANK YOU ALL!!!
|
Absolutely stunning!!!!!!!!!!!! A lucky baby and I bet you are hooked!!!!!! It happens that way. What is this pattern? Do you mind telling?
|
beautiful and looks like a pro quilt to me
|
The pattern is from House of White Birches - #147150 - Creative Scrap Quilting 2001 by Barbara A. Clayton. I was getting these in the mail as packets which all go into a binder however the company no longer does the mailings. The series is from their Heart & Home Delights section. Hope that helps. And yes, I am hooked. My mind has been racing going through all kinds of books and web pages in search of my next pattern.
|
Thank you so much for info. Will try to find it on the web.
|
What a lovely quilt! I love that you did the lambs is fuzzy material!
|
I wish I could pat you on the back! That is adorable! You did such a wonderful job!! :thumbup: :thumbup: :D
|
Oh how adorable! Love the wool on the sheep too.
|
This is sooooooooooo cute. Did you have trouble with the lambs and what material did you use?
|
Went online and could nothing. Is this a book or a pattern by itself? Thank you.
|
What a beautiful, adorable quilt!!! Thanks for sharing it with us!
|
The sheep legs, face, and ears were a pain to turn and did take some time as they are very small. I used a fleece for the sheep found in JoAnne's. I will see if I can scan the directions and then post them for y'all. Oh and sewing around the sheep fleece was a bit tricky as it gets in the way of sewing so you lose track of where your seams are.

My dear hubby, bless his heart, listened to a lot of my oohs and ahhs as well as "what do you think?" questions. Each step was exciting to me and I really learned a lot along the way. I hand quilted everything except along the outer edges of each box containing the sheep and flowers - I cheated and machine quilted them. My son and daughter-in-law were so excited to receive the Sleepy Time Lambs quilt for little Miss Julia (now 8 weeks old). I'm anxious to do more applique work now that I've accomplished this one.

|

|
