Quilts

    I turned into a quilter because I became a grandma.  I had been embroidering ever since my Grandma Scott taught me how, so the embroidery on these quilts is the fun, relaxing part for me.  I had no idea how to make a quilt.  I have learned a few things since then about quilting but I always start with the embroidery. 

My first Baby Quilt for my Grandson in 2005.  I did the had embroidery but I had no idea how to quilt anything so my friend Deb Halmo took me to the quilt shop to pick out fabrics and then put it together and quilted all the borders and sashes.  She left the quilting around the embroidery to me. 

This pink quilt was made from my Granddaughter, Kari.  It is a whole cloth quilt.

This quilt, another whole cloth quilt was for Grandma's Hope Chest-So far no little boys have arrived to claim it.

This one was a made from a kit.  Again, no piecing.

For my friend LaShawn's grandson, Randal.  This one was pieced.

The second baby quilt I made.  Another whole cloth quilt for Grandma's hope chest.  I did not know what I was doing so it is really not properly quilted.  I used an embroidery stitch to quilt-lots of work.

This one was made for my niece's little boy, Gaius!  At the time I made it we did not know Gaius' name or that he was a boy!
