Helicopter Quilt

I made this quilt for my grandson who will be 3 years old in November. He loves all kinds of vehicles like trains, airplanes, earth movers, ambulances, police cars and helicopters. So when I saw this Amy Bradley design in a magazine awhile back, I thought my grandson would love it. Amy's designs are always so cute and whimsical, which is perfect for a child. I didn't add a border, but instead made a scrappy binding, which turned out nice, but was a bit hard to deal with in the corners! I hand blanket stitched around the shapes and machine quilted it.

Quilt For My Grandson

My grandson loves fire engines, police cars, helicopters, airplanes, tractors, etc. I had small amounts of fabric with vehicles in 3 colorways (red, blue, white), so I decided to make a small car/stroller quilt for his 2nd birthday in November. This is the quilt I made: I pieced the back of the quilt:

Teapot Quilt and Shopping Bag

I made this little quilt as a prize for my quilt guild's Spring Tea Party in May. I added some fortune cookie sayings on the quilt too. The teapot is stenciled.

I made this fabric shopping bag from a Simplicity pattern. It is modeled after a plastic shopping bag. The bag is lined as well. It may cost more to make than those cheap $1.00-$1.99 that all the stores are all selling now, but it looks better, will last longer & I made it! I was going to use this fabric to make an apron, but I didn't have enough of the fabric for an apron, so I decided make this bag instead. Pin It Now!

Flower Wall Hanging

I started this in my applique group. It was supposed to be a table runner with the flowers equally spaced on the white background and the leaves around the flowers. But I didn't like how it was looking and since I have a round table anyhow, I decided to arrange the flowers differently and to add a stem and place the leaves along the stem. Then I found the perfect fabric (from my stash) for the border. I added some prairie points on 2 sides of the border for an embellishment. Big buttons with smaller buttons on top of them made the perfect flower centers. It's now hanging on the wall.
