This is a quilt panel that I purchased from Fabric.com. (In hindsight, I should have gotten it from MSQC....live and learn!) When I got the panel, I was astounded at how crooked the cut was. It's a panel! So I had to cut all the borders already on the panel and buy new. I got the backing and border from MSQC! Anyway, my DIL's theme for my grandson is everything MOOSE! I put this together for him for Christmas 2016. To quilt it, I machine stitched the moose head, SITD the borders, chevron the full moose section, did a window pane for the two separate moose and just a wavy line for the pine cones. I also stitched around each block.

Jenn's Purple Radio Way

FINALLY FINISHED! My oldest child, Jenn, has been patiently waiting for her quilt to be made. She loves purple, requested purple, and got purple (and green and cream)! She wanted a traditional quilt, yet a little on the modern side. I chose Radio Wave. QUILTED BY MSQC (Dragonflies)

Woodland Creatures for Casey, Jr.

This is my first attempt at applique. I made this baby quilt for my first grandchild/son expected in early September. His mother, my DIL, is doing his room in Moose/Deer/Bear. I wanted to do all moose on this quilt, but my husband talked me into doing different animals. Most times this is done in squares. My son loves argyle, so I turned the square. Never again! Applique is ok to do!

Baby's Hungry Animals Alphabet Panel

A high school friend's son is expecting a child (gender known -- I like the idea of a surprise!) in February 2016. I wanted to give this new grandpa, my dear friend, a simple baby quilt for he and his wife to have for their new grandchild or to give to his son and daughter-in-law. The new father is a professional NFL player and I think it would be nice for them to have something homemade! This is also my first attempt at long arm quilting! I haven't added the binding yet. Completed pictures to come!

Herringbone Mug Rug

This was a prototype for the Herringbone quilt I was going to make for my son and his fiancee as a wedding gift. This was made from fat quarters I got from JoAnn Fabrics.

Casey Jr.'s Rag Quilt

This rag quilt is for my first grandchild/son. I made another one, but that is for him and all future grandchildren. This one is just for him. I also love doing these rag quilts because they are fast, adorable, and my husband and I make them together! I got the fabric on Etsy at SkyValleyQuiltCo.

Grandbabies' Quilt for Granny's House

I made this quilt to stay at our house for all our grandchildren, even though we are expecting our first in September, 2016! This was thrown together quickly, even though I had it planned out, because I wanted something to do in the car for a long drive. Although I'm not overly happy how wonky it came out, it is sort of cute that way. I did enjoy hand binding though!

Anderson Baby Halloween Quilt

My best friend's daughter is having her second child after a few miscarriages. She loves Halloween and is expecting at Halloween! I asked my friend if a Halloween themed baby quilt would be good and she agreed that for her daughter, it was perfect! I quilted this with fun Halloween fabrics rather than scary and hand embroidered a little spider in the middle with glow in the dark thread! I used variegated "Halloween" thread to FMQ. I figure she can use this for a decoration once the baby is bigger!! So cute! I used this project as my inspiration. http://www.made-by-rae.com/2010/12/finito-storytime-squares-quilt-in-far-far-away-ii/

Grandbaby #1's Rag Quilt

My first grandchild is due in September, 2016. This is a first of many items for him/her (will know gender next month). So many things to make, so little time! My husband and I made this together....yes he sews!!! Our blocks were 9 inches wide and we used a 1/2 inch seam allowance. We followed the YouTube tutorial by Sew So Easy. It really was! We are keeping this one for us and will make a gender color one when we find out the gender. This will serve ALL grandchildren to come too! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8iTc0wep4E

Kyle and Talya's Wedding Quilt

For my two older children, I knit something special, that they requested, for their weddings: a beautiful silk lace shawl for my daughter and a Celtic lap blanket for my son and daughter-in-law. My youngest child/son is getting married in November 2016. They haven't asked for anything so I made this quilt (top). It is QUEEN size! I'm sending it off to MSQC to finish. I am hoping this heirloom will be loved for generations!

Christmas Stockings for Kyle and Talya

Kyle is my youngest child and son. Unlike his sister and brother, he never was given a homemade Christmas stocking. I decided to make him one and since he is engaged, made his fiancee a matching stocking. I made this using a Christmas jelly roll, quilt-as-you go, and Jenny's Adorable Christmas Stocking tutorial. I used Winter Village Pixie Strips by Lynette Anderson for RJR Fabrics

Jared's Sports! Sports! Sports! JRR2

My 7 year old grandson LOVES sports. ALL sports! Since we live in the Philadelphia area, I got 4 professional team fabrics, got "Varsity" by Moda jelly roll and created this JRR2 quilt for him for Christmas! I made the border with scraps of the Professional team fabrics. If he doesn't love it now, he will when he gets a little older! ('m working on getting a better picture of the full quilt.)
