Here’s the second one-

This young lady’s mom Lelia and grandmother Gayle made a long trip to be with us during a stressful time when my daughter’s twins were born. I always appreciated the supporting visit before we lost one of our twins. When I heard Monday afternoon Lelia’s daughter was having her baby shower today, I went to work cutting piecing and then quilting both of them. I finished yesterday but still had to wrap so they didn’t get washed . I told Lelia they would need washing but I just ran out of time. I made them bigger and no ‘baby’ prints so the kids could grow with their quilts. Size is 48x63 The pinwheels are large. They are bigger than I usually make for babies but it helped me get them made in time for today. The same fabrics were used in both quilts for the pinwheels, just placed differently. The back are different. Just like the twins are the same but both will have their own personality. The quilts were appreciated and Lelia has told me and others that she still has her daughter Eudora’s smocked bonnet and dress I made when she was born. Now Eudora is having twins!

Eva is my daughter’s foreign exchange student this year. I wanted to make her a quilt to bring back to Spain but when I asked her what colors she liked, all I could get out of her was white and blue. So I made this simple, on point charm quilt, with a 9patch border, in all shades of blues. It measures 78 x 95 after quilting. I just meandered or stipple quilted it.

**5/31/23…I am seeing many of you are having problems uploading new projects. I haven’t had this problem, but I would contact MSQC and notify them.**This is my 2nd Hodgepodge quilt, made out of the Country Rose fabric. This is the same as my first one, but with different colors from the collection. I made this for my daughter who purchased this fabric bundle, and gave it to me on Christmas 2022. The backing is also different with the vertical print. She also chose the Maggie’s Rose quilt pattern and white thread. (5-25-2023)
