I finished one of the two baby quilts I am making for my nephew and
his wife, who are expecting in October.

The first one uses the same pattern my mother always used to make her
quilts - she never wanted to get fancy on the piecing, she just liked
picking out pretty fabrics! She passed away about three years ago, so
I wanted to make a quilt "from" her for her first great-grandchild:

My nephew still has the sock monkey his grandmother made him when he
was a baby - that boy keeps everything!

I'm working on the second one, will post photos when it is done.

Thanks, Sandy, that was for a 14-year old second cousin who had to
have an extremely wicked surgery to correct scoliosis. I got the most
teeny bop looking fabrics I could find, and then again, just used a
simple pattern to let the fabrics SHOUT for themselves.

Very sweet!

Happy quilting,

Lenore

Big thank yous, Louise. The Noel quilt for DH gets heaps of praise and it
looks so wonderful turned back. The backing you chose and your quilting are
very lovely. We're mighty proud of it. Meanwhile, . . . back to baby
quilts, I've just received a cat panel from Bradenton Quilts in Florida. It
is an adorable set of blocks that are so cute all I've done with it is post
it on the design wall to enjoy, Curious Kitties by Robert Kaufman. Take a
look somewhere when you have time. And I did notice that Tina's QIs had
taken their duties seriously. Polly

"Louise" wrote Thanks for the compliment, but a couple of those were made
by our own Polly

Esther. Talk about an eye for color - that lady has it!

Louise, thanks - I looked at your albums, and your work is
BEAUTIFUL!!! I LOVE bright, bold colors, and you really have an eye.

Hi there Louise - remember me Vernie, you so very kindly sent me the
pattern of NOEL - I am actually in the process of making it. I
really admired it when you posted it in here - you also do some
awesome pieces of work.
