FabricFan's projects

My guild makes and donates these small quilts to the neonatal ward of BC Womens Hospital in Vancouver. During our first lock down in March, I decided to start cleaning out my 20 years of scrap fabric and try to make something useful. I ended up with 12 36inch x 36inch preemie quilt tops. I had no batting so couldn't finish them. I have finally aquired some batting and finished the first one.

A baby quilt for a new little boy.

My mom quilted for many years but had given it up by the time John and Linda's little baby, Jacob, was born. She asked me to make a quilt for the little guy. I used batiks and fossil ferns from my stash. This pattern was a great stash buster.

Another baby gift. I needed a pattern that would show of the wonderful butterfly fabric that I had in my stash. I had been saving it for special little girl. The pattern was one that I found in a quilt book.

Another baby quilt for the son of young friends. I can't remember the name of the fabric line but it was very cute.

This was a baby quilt for my good friend's long awaited granddaughter. I used a pattern from a doll quilt book that I have and enlarged the pattern blocks to make a good sized baby quilt.

These 36 inch x 36 inch quilts for babies in the Neonatal unit of Vancouver Women's Hospital are fun to make and are great ways to practice piecing skills and free motion motifs. My guild donates hundreds of quilts to the hospital each year. This one was hand quilted. Perhaps not a good choice for a quilt that will likely be in the wash often. The colors don't show up in the photo very well but it was soft pink and white. I worked from a photo found on the internet.

Sofia's mom is an equestrian and needed a horse theme quilt for her little girl. Tula Pink fabric.

Friends of mine are very "in" to horses. It was mandatory that I use horse fabric in a quilt for their first born.

A gift for a baby boy and a pattern I was anxious to try. It turned out to be a challenge as the instructions in the book weren't accurate. I loved the backing fabric. I used some Tula Pink and some Cotton and Steel fabric.
