We worked all of September to remodel the toy/guest room.  No more crib.  For these twin bed quilts,  I used the same fabric  but did two different designs.  I was very happy to find the peach fabric for my background that matched the peach walls.

In 1976, my friend Leah's mother Greta taught me how to hand piece this quilt.  This is my first quilt.  With a cardboard hexagon pattern,  I used fabric scraps from my clothes sewing projects.  It took about a year to complete.   I took the quilt to a lady in downtown Spokane to hand quilt and bind.  She had a large quilt frame set up in her living room and charged me very little to complete the quilt.  I did not go back to quilting until the year 2000 when I took a 6 week class in quilting with a sewing machine and a rotary cutter.  Much different experience. 

I took a few months break from sewing.  With yard work and traveling with my husband, there was little time.  Today my husband is driving with my son cross country to my son's new home in New Jersey.  Sad but excited for their family's new adventure.  

While I am alone, I am back to the sewing room.  Granddaughter number two is turning 3.  This is her birthday dress.  

The pattern is called Geranium by RAE sewing patterns.  Very easy and fun to make.

Arlo loved the  train pillow Grammie made.  Present for his 4th Birthday.

This is a whirligig pattern.  A baby quilt for my brother's first grandson, Remington.  I wanted to do a bright, happy quilt.  The mom and dad are into bicycling.  I found this bicycle fabric for the backing.

I did a loopty-loop quilting around each whirligig with a flower in each center.  

And a doll quilt to match.

Yesterday, I received this photo with a very sweet thank you card.  Quilt and doll quilt I made for baby Hazel.  The quilt really matched their nursery wall painted gray with white polka dots.  

X and O pattern baby quilt for the Green Family.  This was a very fun pattern.  Mom Kelly chose the pattern and colors.
