Another Quilt

This quilt is the one that I originally bought the cute vintage fabrics for. As you can see, it didn't take many squares to make it. So I made the Vintage quilt. Then I STILL had more squares, and I made another one.
I seem to do that a lot. (I still have enough fabric for another tractor quilt) What can I say?!
Notice that my quilter put bunnies, butterflies, flowers and ducks in the quilting pattern.

Tractor Quilt for Crew (My new grandson)

I wanted to make a tractor quilt in honor of my son-in-law who is a farmer. The other quilts I made for his son weren't very masculine, so this is for Abe! (And Crew) My quilter sewed tractors into the quilting pattern. I really like her work.

Cross Stitch

I wanted to finish some projects that have been in the works. I don't even remember when I started this cross stitch. I know that I got the pattern while we still lived in Virginia, but I think I started this in about 1991. It is very detailed. It has tons on half, three-quarter, and quarter stitches. Then it is all very detailed in the backstitching. I'm so happy to have it done. Now I just need to frame it. I love all of the vibrant colors. I will hang it where I can enjoy it everyday.

Anne's new jumper

Anne wanted a new jumper to wear to the February Stake Dance. She chose this one. I lined the whole thing so she wouldn't have to wear a slip with it. I think next time I will just buy a new slip! It has 8 yards of fabric in it. I really like how it looks on her. The shoes are very cute. We found them for $5 at Wal-Mart.

Another Vintage quilt

I had enough squares left to make another Vintage quilt. I wanted to show a photo of the grid that you draw on the fabric. It shows you where to place each square. I pin each square in place, then sew all of the vertical lines. Then I turned the quilt and sewed all of the horizontal lines. If you have a desire to make this quilt you should try it. It was very satisfying to make.

If I can't garden, I'll create something else!

I thought I would share with you some of my recent "winter creations".

Quilts I made for baby Schank

This duck quilt was introduced to me by my sister, Valine. It is sooo cute! But it was a bear to make! I threw out the pattern when I finished it.
This minkie quilt is very soft.

Baby Schanks blessing clothes

I made this jumpsuit, hat, blanket and booties for my soon-to-be-born grandson. I can't wait to see him in them!

Dresses made for Tracy's grandbabies

I made these dresses for a wedding at the Rick's. They were much more challenging than they look.

Winter Projects

This is a quilt I made. It was fun.
