Soft Book

I started with this great idea to make my Grandson and his little contemporary Quiet Books for their first birthday.
Somehow I did not think it would be this HUGE project, something fun and somewhat easy. Well definitely fun, and not specifically difficult but the more time that goes into each page, the better it looks. Plus it is really difficult to stop the ideas from flowing.

I have 5 pages for each book 95% complete, out of 11 (maybe 12) pages. That are turning out so very cute!

First picture is my idea board, where I gathered ideas from anywhere I could find, then following are 5 page patterns that just need cleaned up and top stitched and mounted!

The New Year Brought Quilts

This is quilt number two for the new year. Sweet Water (which technically could be December, but I am claiming it for 2013) and now Little Ladies are going into the log book for 2013. These little Bliss pieced Ladies have been hanging on my idea board for literally months and months. I just did not have the right venue to pull them together. It had to be the right time, much of my quilting is like that, emotion based. That is probably why it is such a good therapy hobby for me. And it is a great feeling to bless someone. My co-worker, Maria's little granddaughter Jimmy will take this one to cuddle with.

Little ladies

I finally have pictures to post on this sweet quilt.
