A Small Request

This little quilt was made for a quilting challenge. It provided great inspiration to have limited fabric and time. I hand stitched the words and hand appliqued the circles.

Made with big wishes in about a week, finished February 27, 2011.

Cat in the Hat Quilt

Look at the cute 1 month old! Then look at that lovely quilt! I think wonky blocks and Dr. Seuss belong together- he may have invented them. The quilt top seemed to just fall into place for me- and I enjoyed ever stitch along the way!

I used mainly the Robert Kaufman Cat in the Hat line but then added in some blenders that worked with the multicolor stripe.

I wish you could see a close up on the quilting, by Ms. Regina Carter- it complements the blocks perfectly.

Made with love 20 Feb 2011.

Cat for Pepita!

This sweet little kitty is from Kaffe Fasset's book Quilt Road (2005) the pattern by Keiko Goke. I made mine a little sweeter in the face, with a lot more patchwork... and then my sewing friend, Lady E., suggest that I quilt it too so of course I did! Lady E. made that knock out collar with the fish and peace sign. I really think that detail really makes it.

It was made specially for my good friend Pepita- (world class photographer and floor quilt maker/teacher if you need one...). It was very fun to make something for another crafter and she was definitely thrilled.



This cutie was actually made Feb of 2011- just last month!

Spider-Man Baby Quilt

This little guy is on a lovely Spider-man baby quilt that was made just for him! The web-slinger is hand quilted and then the webs were machine quilted. Most importantly the baby was well made with a high cuteness factor!!!

The Spider-Man is a panel, which was great to practice hand quilting. I had just taken a class in Feb of 2010 from an expert hand quilter- Shelia B. This project was very slow at first but hand quilting does just feel so soft that it is worth the time!
