Nellie's Quilt

Over Thanksgiving Weekend we found some cute fabric and made a cute quilt for Nellie...baby to be (Nellie is the pregnancy name...the Real name hasn't been decided yet....just for clarification)
Karen did the sewing and I did the ironing. It is really cute!



Close up of the dog fabric. I love the colors in this fabric!

It is laid out in a brick like style. The light sashing in between looks like light dog paw prints. This will be something that the baby will surely Love. Karen is so talented and has a great eye for cute fabrics. We are so happy that Karen is doing well during her pregnancy. I'm sure this will be a beautiful and healthy baby. Congrats Karen and Dustin. xoxox

Ludene's Quilt

Karen was in a domestic goddess mode when she came home for Christmas. So I helped her put together this quilt for her sweet mother in law, Ludene Davis. Karen had the squares already cut out of old levi's - I think the squares were about 8 x 8 inch. She sewed a pocket on one of the squares, and made a little kerchief out of the back print and tucked it into the pocket. We had a great time visiting while she sewed and I ironed. Then after the top was done we hit the quilt shop to find the perfect backing and border.

Karen was probably thinking of this spot when she was driving through the freezing snow in Utah. This photo was taken in Newport Beach. Beautiful Place, Beautiful Daughter.

The photo doesn't show the pretty color of the border. It was tied with a sage green thread.

This is a closeup shot of the backing. I love the dot flowers. Believe it or not, the colors are really vibrant. It turned out darling and Ludene loved the quilt, almost as much as Karen loves Ludene....which is alot. Karen is so lucky to have a wonderful mother in law - Ludene is a Gem!
