Featured Quilt of the Week - "Savannah Summer"

The contrast of the white-on-white background of this baby quilt with the rainbow of 30s reproduction fabrics makes me think of summer time and lovely warm days. Imagine spreading this quilt on the grass next to your lawn chair, stripping baby down to diaper only and letting the gentle sun warm that baby-soft skin for a short time.


The Split Rail Fence blocks set on-point led to the precise piecing that lends a crispness to the design. Straight-line quilting in the center of the quilt mirrors the block lines.


I used wavy lines for quilting in the border.


The coordinated backing makes the quilt reversible . . .


. . . and yet still offers interest and lots of color.


Just go to my website to put this darling quilt in your shopping cart.

I'd be glad to answer any questions you might have about this or any of the other quilts I have for sale on my website. Thanks for stopping by and Happy Quilting!

Coolin' My Heels

Because as soon as I finish one little task I'm usually on to the next without even thinking, I hardly ever find myself having to "kill time." But you've found me in a rare situation with a few minutes to spare, and I don't want to get involved with anything new because I'm waiting for the arrival of my daughter.

We have a date this morning to take pictures of the last three baby quilts I want to get up on my website before we "go public."

I want to sell my baby quilts online and since dear daughter is a website designer . . . she's been coerced into doing that aspect of the job for me. Seems like we've been working on this little (LITTLE? Ha! Chortle. Snort. Pa-shaw!) project FOREVER. On the other hand, we're both perfectionists and want everything to be juuust right before the grand unveiling.

The above is a picture of one of the three quilts we'll be photographing today. It's nice sized, 41-1/2" x 53-1/2", and I hope it finds a happy home with brand new bundle of joy soon.
