Quilty Update

Recently, I posted about some gifts that I made for special people :)

I made a "sweet and simple" table runner which was a part of Lori Holt's "Scrappy Summer Sew Along".

I made the table runner for my daughter in law, Mabulane.

She had recently bought a hall table and thought it needed color to perk it up, hence the table runner :)

She sent me a photo of her table runner in its new home.
I love the way she decorates!

One of my cute little 3 l/2 year old grand daughters has a cute little white dresser in her room.

It also looked kind of lonely and needed some color, specifically pink!!!

Here is the post of the table runner I made for Neo.

Here's the table runner's new home.

Then I made the Layer Cake Lemonade Quilt from Lori Holt's line of fabric, "Millie's Closet", for my mother in law who is undergoing chemotherapy treatments for lymphoma.

Glenda is so brave, and she is a survivor!!!

She survived breast cancer when she was in her early thirties, and was recently cancer free from lymphoma for over 5 years.  

 The lymphoma came back, but we are sure she can beat it because she has lots of faith and lots of determination!

My father in law sent me this photo on Monday, of Glenda at her third chemotherapy treatment, snuggling in the quilt I made her :)

It's the best feeling to know that my quilts have all gone to homes that appreciate them :) 

What more could a quilter ask for?

More fabric? Ha ha!!!

Layer Cake Lemonade Quilt

Layer Cake Lemonade Quilt is a free pattern from Fat Quarter Shop, you can find the link and info here.

Here's my finished quilt!

I used a really soft minky for the back, and found it at fabric.com.

I love the geometric pattern, and you can see my stipple quilting.

Outdoors is a great place to photograph my quilts, the light is great!

I only have the quilt top and the minky back, there is no batting.

This makes for a very supple quilt, and the minky still adds a lot of warmth.

I tried to be creative and lay on my back to take this photo.

Unfortunately, I found little bugs crawling on me afterwards!

I made my quilt from Lori Holt's Millie's Closet.

My mother in law is a vintage type of girl, so I think she'll really like it!

All rolled up and tied with a bow, ready to mail.

I had to show you this box, the words are so fun!!!
