My recent quilting activity

On top of the Christmas gifts I am making, visiting grandparents, working 40 hours a week and preparing to led a trip to Africa in 4 days... I managed to make 2 lovely quilts!

 This quilt was for a little girls nursery. Thanks Mom for holding it for me :)

  I adore this quilt! I made it for a friend who picked out all fabric. I think I got most frustrated with this quilt but in the end I absolutely loved it! I am glad I pushed through because I am very happy with how it turned out!

Enjoy your Thursday!

Latest Quilt

I made a baby quilt for my boss who is expecting a little boy in November. 

I really love the colors and patterns that went into this quilt!

 I diagram all of my quilts before I start sewing. 

 Piecing it together...

Finished quilt!

 Jordan Robert : "For the one who descends to be bright"

 Yay! Mommy with quilt!

Quilt in the nursery! 

I absolutely love making quilts. There is so much math, color coordinating, measuring, charting, and 'mindless' sewing involved. It is one way that I de-stress. 

I can't wait to see pictures of baby Jordan with the quilt!
