Quilt a co worker asked me to make. The beige squares are pieces of her wedding dress. The quilt is going to be a signature quilt for her daughter's wedding. The red chevron squares bled red everywhere and I had to soak it for days and use lots of color catchers, but it came out! :)

Piggies!

My niece loves pigs. I decided to make her some stuffed ones. I found the pattern on Google. It was in Japanese, so I just winged it.

Music Heals the Soul

Quilt I made for my for piano/guitar instructor who is having knee surgery. The song in the bottom is the first verse of You Are My Sunshine. The guitar is a copy of my own. Gave it to my teacher and it made him cry. Then I had to convince him that he had to use it. He wanted to hang it. We came to the compromise of he would use it while he was in rehab and he could hang it when he started teaching again

Breast Cancer Awareness Chevron Quilt

I made this quilt to raise money for my co-worker who got diagnosed with breast cancer earlier in the year. She is now in remission! I will be fundraising until the end of October. I will post how much I raised when it's all done. Hopefully a lot! I'm sure her medical bills are very expensive. The quilt ended up being an extra long king. I wanted to do what I could to help. I've also saved leftover fabric from it to make her a lap quilt :) UPDATE: I raised $782 WOO HOO!

Memory Quilt

My coworker asked me to make her a memory quilt for adopted daughter. Her daughter's biological mother passed away a few months before Christmas. The only thing she had left from her mother was 2 pairs of jeans and 3 shirts. This is what I ended up with. She recorded her daughter opening it and she cried when she saw it. She was very happy with it.

Snowman Gatherings

Table runner and placemats I made for my boyfriend's mom. Turned my test snowman into a cute pot holder. His mother loved it.

Lattice Quilt (Finished!)

Let's Hope I can get this done by Mother's Day! I started on it months ago and then I get distracted with other projects. I'm using the Lattice Quilt tutorial from MSQC to make it. I even bought the exact same fabric that Jenny used in the video. I even have the same sashing fabric (even though I have yet to make it that far) I had to scour the internet to find it! UPDATE: I got it finished a week before Mother's Day :) She loved it. I had enough fabric to do matching bed runner, pillows and pillow cases.

Keeping Up Tradition (Baby Quilt 4)

I made this quilt for my cousin's new baby girl. My great aunt, who taught me how to quilt, is no longer with us. So I am keeping up the tradition that every Babcock has a handmade quilt. The Pattern is called Stacked Coins from modabakeshop http://www.modabakeshop.com/2009/02/stacked-coins-baby-quilt.html
