SEPTEMBER
IS
HERE
I've been busy with Gardening and Quilting
this Summer.
My Brand new Grandson was adopted into our family and RJ is now with his FOREVER FAMILY. Big Brother James is Thrilled! RJ was a pre-birth adoption and my DD and SIL brought him home from the hospital 10 days ago!
I'm going to keep my comments short and sweet because you are here to look at pictures....I know how it is, you're trying to blog hop, drink your coffee, get ready for work (unless you're retired, like ME!!), catch up on the morning news, eat breakfast, feed the dogs/cats, put in a load of laundry, fold some towels, etc... All you want to see are the projects. So here tis!! (and I forgot pictures of all the NICU blankets
I made ....Oh well.)
Vintage Sports Baby Blanket Back
Gingham Border
Vintage Sports Baby Quilt Front
Straight Line Quilting with Walking Foot
and some
FMQ around border
BABY CRIB EYE CANDY
This little jewel is going to hang on the side of my new Grandson's crib! Black, White, and Red make the best color contrasts for infant eyes, especially those first few months. Did you know that?
Gingham is PERFECT for Baby Eye Candy
Pattern is "Great Granny Block"
Riley Blake Gingham...is there any other kind??
Grandson James's K Teacher's Quilt
Mrs. Solley's Quilt is in the pinning stage but you get the Look!
Handprints are from each student in her class 2013-2014
James' Personal Aide's Quilt
Has been appliqued and spray basted...awaiting quilting
Both Teacher Quilts
I tried my best to finish but Gardening intervened
THE T-SHIRT QUILT
This Quilt GREW...and GREW...and GREW!!!
You are only viewing the Bottom half
TOP Half of T-SHIRT Quilt
Needs Binding...My Fabric for Backing didn't work so I've
re-ordered...do you ever change your mind from an original idea?
ONE MORE LOOK
78" x 108"
Sewing Machine Cover
with
Pockets
I made this for ME!!
Look at That Gingham Binding!
Another Peek...This will be the quilt that gets thrown on the floor for Baby RJ to play on, roll over on, & rock like an airplane on
RETRO APRON
for Granddaughter
I found this apron in a bag of aprons that belonged to a good friend's mother who passed away.
Once my friend Jan monogrammed it after I altered the apron to fit E.G., it was perfect and she loves it!
Fabric Box
oops, picture is blurry...these are so fun to make.
!
Mini Quilt in Hangar is from Sharon Vroomsman in a Doll Quilt Swap!
Isn't it adorable? I wish I could claim it but alas I can not....paper piecing is NOT my gift!
DOLL QUILT VINTAGE
I made this for another Doll Quilt Swap Partner.
One Last DOLL QUILT PROJECT
My Swap Partner wanted Christmas Fabric

You have really been quilting up a storm. All of you project are great, I really love the hand quilt you did, been planning to do one for a friend of mine for the past year. And the t-shirt quilt is just great, I have some t-shirts a co-worker gave me to put together for her when I have time.
ReplyDeleteFor goodness sakes, you have had a busy sewing/quilting summer. BTW, congrats on the new grand. He should feel loved by grannie with all those grand projects. Never heard that about red, white, black colors for newbies - the gingham worked bout perfectly.
ReplyDeleteSeptember? That looks like several years of work. I especially love those quilted pieces to welcome the new little brother.
ReplyDeleteI guess Grandmama is off her rocker and at the sewing machine. Each project shows you had a wonderful summer stitching. The quilts are truly gorgeous!

ReplyDeletewow, Jane! What a busy girl you were on your supposed summer vacation. How sweet of you to make classroom quilts for the teacher and the aide. I've made about 7or 8 t-shirt quilts and they always grow like topsy to queen, king easily. Always a fun stop when your blog is on the list.
