Batik baby quilt

Yay!  Another quilt that I forgot about, and am posting.

This one is made from batiks.  The baby's name is River, which inspired the color scheme.  The edges are a bit wavy, but all in all a decent quilt.

Another baby quilt finished in summer of 2010.  Some scraps were from the Little Blessings fabric line.  It's a floating star, which was the same pattern for the quilt I made for his big brother.

Scrappy backing, using up some little ones, too.

Quilts that were finished in summer of 2010, that I found the photos for!

For a new baby of a friend of my s-i-l.  We finished this in June, 2010.  What was this fabric line called?  Simply baby, I think.

thinking about Monday

Today I am thinking about the things I'd like to accomplish before school starts next week for two kids, and myself in grad school.  Gabriel starts the following week, but I digress...

 Blocks for Anna Maria's project

I need to post pictures of two baby quilts finished, as well as some blocks that I completed for donation to Anna Maria Horner's Rainbow Around the Block project, a quilting effort for flood victims in middle Tennessee.  Anna Maria is collecting blocks and/or quilts to complete for distribution to those who have lost their homes due to flooding.  I heart her.

baby quilt for Caelin

I made this quilt for a friend from church and Girl Scouts. It is a scrappy quilt--I did not buy anything new for it, including the batting, which was pieced together from fairly large scraps.

The label is an experiment, as I have never done any embroidery before but would like to start!  The embroidery is free form, my first attempt at some stitches.  Bird was appliqued first and embroidery worked after.  The bird is done broderie perse, I believe it is called, where you cut out an image printed on fabric, and applique it.  It's from a fat quarter a friend bought for me a long time ago, probably 10+ years.  I have never figured out what to do with it, but here's a start.

Snuggle Under the Sunset

Snuggle Under the Sunset is what I called this one. I usually don't name my quilts, but rather the label states businessy details, such as my name, who it was made for, the year, etc. This quilt was made for a friend's baby. I love the batiks in it. It was a bit hard to give it, but I feel that way about each quilt, and take comfort that someone is curling up in it.
