Child quilts

Here are a couple quilts mom has made for my nephew with some of his first t-shirts & his very first pair of pants he wore. The 2nd picture shows how fun fabrics can be used as a backer. This is a flannel Star Wars fabric. Little boys love Star Wars! The 3rd picture is a close up of the tag mom will put on the back to put the finishing touch of personalization. This also shows the optional top stitching that can be done at an additional cost.



This is his rabbit quilt:

Memory Quilts

Four quilts were commissioned by a friend of mine to commemorate the life of her parents. Both of her parents have passed away & she wanted to have quilts made from their clothing, for her & her brother, to have as keepsakes. This is a great way to remember loved ones & keep them close to your heart.

These two are made from the mother's supplied clothing:



The two that were made in the father's memory are being topstitched quilted. Pictures will be posted upon completion.

Embroidered pillowcases

Mom made these beautifully embroidered pillowcases for her grandchildren. As you can see there are many options for the embroidery designs. She then added the piping to add a nice splash of color.

African Picture Quilt

This is a great way to remember a special occasion or a great vacation. This African Picture Quilt was a great way to remember my Aunty Diana & mom's trip to see my sister in Kenya. What a fantastic use of patterned fabric & color to pull in the feel of the wild animals & the colors of the African land.

The strip at the bottom is the custom label on the backside of the quilt. Click on the picture to enlarge & see more detail.

Picture Pillowcase

This is a great idea for grandparents so they can see their loved ones all the time & know they are close by. The pictures are printed onto a special fabric & then sewn into place being framed by any number of options. Here the pictures have a quilted pillowcase framing them in colors to match a chosen room of the house. This photo fabric can be incorporated into any item you see on this site.

Maple Leaf Quilt

This maple leaf quilt was made for one of mom's sisters up in Canada. Such a great use of color to tie in the seasons. Any custom color pallet can be chosen or use a random mix of colors.
