Little Mermaid

We have lots of granddaughters who love their American Girl dolls.  Some have outgrown playing with them, but a few are still young enough to enjoy them.   I made mermaid costumes for their dolls.

Trick or Treat Bags

Made from the Ten Minute Table Runner Pattern.  
They take about twenty minutes to make.

Max's Me and My Monster Quilt



A colorful Monster Quilt


 


Jelly Roll Baby Quilt

My hairdresser had a baby.  It was as easy to make a quilt as buy Colton a gift.  
This quilt came together pretty fast.

Aggies, Wolverines, Hoosiers, or Cougars!

Take your pick.  GO TEAM!!!!


Nothings is nicer than a warm stadium made from T-shirts and backed with fleece.   
It really got me in the spirit for fall football. 

USU AGGIE




Michigan Wolverines 



Indiana Hoosiers

BYU Cougars

Megan and Nathan's Wedding

Our second granddaughter got married in August.  I made a queen sized quilt and pillow shams for them for a wedding gift.
 I made them a BYU stadium quilt for a shower gift.   
They also got two handmade BYU pillowcases.







Whales Tails

Here is a fun quilt made for family members living in Hawaii.  Perfect for their living room that opens to a Lanai overlooking the ocean.


Makoa's Baby Cross Quilt

My daughter-in-law saw a quilt like this on Pinterest.  I honored her request and duplicated it.  My grandson, Makoa, is the beautiful baby who snuggles with this quilt.

 
This scrappy quilt used up some of my stash!



Hexi Quilt for a Granddaughter

What fun I am having rediscovering my sewing skills after they were somewhat dormant for decades.  A granddaughter requested a lap quilt.  She knew exactly what she wanted.  
I am thrilled with the finished quilt.
Soon after retiring from teaching 4th grade for over three decades, I got into quilting.  I love my Babylock Crown Jewel longarm quilting machine.  I recently added another Babylock Unity embroidery machine to my sewing room.  Here is the first quilt label I made on my new machine.  What fun I am having!!!
The quilt pattern is from Camille Roskelley and the fabric is Moda's Happy Go Lucky!
A matching pillowcase might come in handy for a slumber party with the HEXI Quilt!
