Show Your Stripes Blog Hop: Day 2

Welcome to day 2 of the Show Your Stripes Blog Hop. Not sewing fabrics with stripes very often, this was an extra fun challenge for me. My project is a teddy bear for my new grandson. It is made of fleece, and the nose, paws, ears and tail are a striped cotton fabric. The pattern is from: Purl Soho.com, called Wool + Liberty Teddy Bear. He is approx, 9 1/2" sitting, and hoping grandson loves him. For baby-safety, I appliquéd the eyes instead of using buttons. Be sure to visit all of the other bloggers to see their creations. Thanks to Carla of Creatin' in the Sticks for hosting this blog hop. So much fun planning and creating with striped fabrics!

Baby tie blanket

Have you seen the tie blankets? For a while now, I have considered making one. So, here it is- my first tie blanket! This one is made of fleece, with a navy, grey and white plaid top and a solid navy backing. It measures approx. 40" square, and was really fun to make. It did seem kinda odd, not quilting and all, but we are never to old to learn something new, right? Tie blankets probably won't be something I will make often, but once in a while maybe. Of course, this one is for my new grandson. Have you ever tried your hand at making one of these?

Baby quilt for new grandson!

This is the Rock and Roll baby quilt pattern designed by: Cheryl of Meadow Mist Designs. It is perfect for my new grandson Parker, who was born on Dec. 28, 2020. His nursery is decorated in grey and navy, so that is the colorway. The design and fabrics will also work well for when Parker is older. This wall is my new place to photograph quilts. Please continue reading for more info and comments.

Project Quilting Season 12: Challenge 3

Well, it is nearly midnight, but here is my project for Challenge 3 of Project Quilting 2021. The theme is Virtual Vacation, and this reminds me of the near-white sands along the beautiful Gulf of Mexico in Florida. 'Added the starfish appliqué just for fun. This little mug mat measures approx. 7 " square, and has free-motion quilting in a meander on the sand, and walking foot straight line quilting on the water. Wouldn't that beautiful weather be great today? Spring and summer will be here soon though. Be sure to visit the link party to see all of the awesome creations. How about joining in on the fun?
