A while ago I went down memory lane, remembering the quilts I made for Christopher. I am going to do the same thing for Michael's quilts today.
For the first one, I used a pattern by The Ginger Cookie Company called "X's". I fell in love with the design! I used my scrap pieces for most of the parts. The hardest part was hand quilting it in the areas with seams, it was very hard to quilt. So, if I ever decide to make this quilt again, I would machine quilt it for sure.
The second quilt is my original design. I just drew things that I thought future Michael would like. I also included his initials too. This quilt holds special memories for me. I held him and we pointed out all the things on the quilt and he smiled and giggled while we did that.
I guess somethings are so precious that you will never forget.
The Third one is his circus quilt. I found the design in one of the embroidery books and designed the wall hanging for it. I wanted to do an American Flag theme room for the boys in the future and thought that this might be a good decore on the wall. When I look at it now, I think the animal rights group may not like this though...
And of couse, I did this flannel throw for Michael too. He uses it all the time.
Sometimes I make quilts to put in a show or just to hang it on the wall. I also make quilts that are meant be used. I feel warm and fuzzy when my loved ones are wrapped in the quilts I have made. I feel like I am giving them secret hugs.
In the near future, I will take you down memory lane for Rachel's quilts.
Thank you for coming down memory lane with me!
Wow! you are good!!! Those are beautiful and full of heart.

Each one is so sweet! Thanks for sharing! I love the first one with the "x" design! And of course the one you designed is such a treasure!
ReplyDeleteYou definitely make me want to quilt. Where did you get the flannel fabric? I just love the colors! Jackie
ReplyDeleteEmpty Nest Full Life,
ReplyDeleteIt was a while ago, so I don't remeber exactly where I got the cowboy flannel, but it was in one of the local quilt stores here in Utah.
I found you through Kimba at A Soft Place to Land.

How cool that you made Memory Lane pages for each of your children. I just love the quilts you've made for them so far. :)
