My First Quilt

Hours and hours of measuring, cutting, sewing, unsewing, seam ripping, pinning, etc.

And here it is!

My whole idea was to make a boy quilt, in the hope to send out "boy vibes" for when we have another baby one of these years!!  It was a super fun experience for me (and Sasha & Carol). I'm still not sure if I'm going to actually use it on a baby, or just keep it hidden and un-ruined!


I fell in love with this tree fabric, I thought it was sooo cute!

This is for Grandma Fran

Grandma Fran made this adorable sweater for Riley a few years ago.  Everywhere I went, people would ask, where did you get that sweater?  I was so proud to say her Grandma made it for her!
 It was a sad day when I had to pack it way, because Riley had outgrown it.  Well I got a smile on my face when I pulled it out again for Chloe!  So, here is the little cutie modeling it for you!



**To Fran and Bob: we miss you...when can we get together?? :)

(Don't worry, I didn't pass out the "licked knife" ones)
and
