Saints Quilt

I hope you had a nice Christmas!!
I know I did.
Lot's of family
and so much fun!!!
 
Here is a simple quilt I made for my brother-in-law
 
It really looks better in person
 
 
I used a very simple panto with gold thread
 
and I used the gold solid for the backing.
This quilt went together and quilted up so fast.
 
 
I hope you have the best year ever ahead of you!!
Stay safe!!
 
until later - Carol

A King Quilt for Me

I made this colorful quilt for my bedroom
 
The best part is
I used mostly fabrics I already had on hand
(oops, I took this picture upside down)
 
It has made my bedroom so bright and cheery!
I am so happy with the way it turned out.

Three More

Last year I found a really cute fabric panel with doctors and nurses called Nurse Central. I added some fabric from my stash and made a quilt for my doctor.   I just love my doctor, She doesn't rush through visits and she really cares about her patients.
Anyhow, she loved it so much. This year when I went back for my checkup she asked to buy three just like the one I made for her.
And here they are -
I cut the panel apart, sewed a border around each
block and used white sashing
I used the same fabric for all three
quilts but arranged them just a little
different
I was so lucky, they had just reprinted the fabric
 
this panel has the cutest pictures
 
 
 
 
  I quilted little hearts all over it (panto)
 
as usual I had so much fun making these quilts.
 
Sewing is SO much fun!!!

One for my Son

this quilt was made with the fabric
line Smooth Sailing from
Connecting Threads
and a few fabrics from my stash
 
I was so happy with the way it turned out
 
the back is just as cute as the front.
I want to make one for myself now

Christmas Package Quilt

this cute little quilt was made from a quilt kit from Connecting Threads

I really wanted to get this one finished before Christmas and
only needed to stitch down the applique and do the
quilting and with an eye infection (hard to see) I did this.
haha!! Not such a good job on the bow stitching
but it is for me so that is good enough.
 
the fabric is so cute
and so is the design
 
 
I like that it is not the traditional Christmas colors
 
 
I used a snowflake panto and like the way it turned out.
the quilting showed up so much better before it was
washed but i do love this look much better.
and I thought I'd introduce you to my little buddy
Fritzy
he likes to follow me around and see what I'm up to.
I went into a pet store to get some dog treats and
came out with this sweet little fellow.
I was only going to carry him around with
me while I shopped for my doggie goodies
But he was so darn sweet.
He came from the local humane society and
 was born on March 11, the same day as my
hubby and granddaughter.
Gosh he is growing so fast!!
