Yankees Quilt for Lisa

After I had started this quilt for Lisa, her friend, my sister-in-law Patty, said, "How about a Yankees' quilt!" Well, this is about as far from Yankees as it gets. I hope it brings a hug from California to Lisa. And who knows, maybe the Yankees would consider new uniforms in turquoise and hot pink. The quilt was made with a layer cake.

Becca is Having a Baby

Becca teaches third grade and is the cutest little pregnant woman ever. I looked like the side of a barn. Her shower is tomorrow. I hope she likes this yummy fabric from Bunny Hill.

Halloween Haunt

This was my 12th Halloween Haunt; my school's biggest fundraiser. In lieu of a child's quilt, I tapped into our local love of all things USC and UCLA. The result was two table runners and baskets made by Longaberger. They both did really well at the auction.

All Grown Up

One of my favorite students of all time, Christopher, went off to college this fall. He will be studying marine biology. I surprised him with a quilt for his dorm room. I used 10 or so ocean prints and quilted it with ocean waves.

Surfin' Baby

This surfin" baby will be living in Alaska. I thought a little California sunshine in a quilt just might brighten up a very cold winter. It was made on a 5" grid. Charm squares and half charms alternated with 2.5" and 5" strips of Kona cotton. I may never do the channel quilting again. It took forever and shifted the quilt left to right more than I expected. The result, however, was a very soft hand.

Baby #2

Jenn will be having a little boy this fall. She lives in Alaska and her shower will be in Southern Cal this weekend. I made her a boy friendly diaper bag with travel themed burpies. There is a quilt too! I love this one. The colors are so much fun.

One, two, three babies on the way!

Katie, Caroline, and Jenn, are all due with babies in the fall. With three baby showers on the horizon, I decided to get busy and make diaper bags, matching burpies, and quilts. The first bag is for Katie. She is having a girl. Jenn's baby boy bag is up next.
