Rag Quilts for Stuffies

The girls couldn't stop sewing, so they've created their own rag quilts: Jenna for her Webkin named Snow and Caslin for her Horsie. There's Jon as well with his blanket for Turtwig. He was busy building a huge K'nex roller coaster while the girls were stitching (and clipping!).

Nine Patches with the Kids

I had Jon, Caslin, and Jenna each make their own nine patch today to form the tops of pillows; they had a lot of fun doing it and were amazingly handy with the sewing machine. I'm trying to pass along my quilting bug, and it seems to be working!

Wall-E / Turtwig Blanket

My son, Jon, and his friend, Adam, are very fond of their Turtwigs and, more recently, Wall-E. When I found some Wall-E fabric on my latest excursion to the US, I couldn't resist making a small blanket for the Turtwigs. Jon was pleased! I'll be making one for Adam to take home as well...

Bluesy Completed!

At last - the finished product! I'm not sure what's coming next, but I'm delighted to have this one done before I head back to work tomorrow.

Hand Quilting Done on Bluesy

I got the hand quilting done while I was at our cabin this weekend. Just the binding to go!

Bluesy on the Quilting Frame

I couldn't leave Bluesy alone last night until I'd pinned together the three layers and set them up on my new quilting frame. It sure makes hand quilting a lot easier than with a smaller embroidery hoop!

Border #2 for Bluesy

The picture says it all!

Next step: put this together with the batting and backing, and hand quilt it on the new frame I just bought in the US. Stay tuned.....
