sea and sky | a quilt for Silas
The reverse side (which Kristin prefers) is supposed to look vaguely like a mountain with the sky overhead and sea below. I created an ombre look with the blues to give it a deep ocean vibe and used a white constellation print for the sky. I quilted it with lots of random straight lines to keep the quilt soft and finished it off with scrappy binding using fabric I trimmed from the top. I brought it to the Jamestown Library for a little photo shoot the day before Kristin picked it up. My friend Ari and her daughter Sage were the perfect quilt holders - I love Sage's little gloved hand peeking out from the side of the quilt!

a quilt for Luca
When friends from the gym I go to announced their pregnancy I didn't initially think of making a quilt for the baby because we're not that close and I thought it might be weird of me. Then I remembered that every baby needs a quilt and started sewing! I also remembered how much I valued everything people did for me when I had my babies, especially other moms. So I made the quilt and after Liz, Dante, and Luca were home recovering I texted her to ask what I could pick up at Seven Stars for them. Then I made a special delivery of lactation energy bites, cranberry nut loaf, and some pastries plus a quilt! Purl Soho's tiny tiles quilt pattern has never let me down!

simple squares | a quilt for Leon
Our friends Olga and Cal are expecting their second baby any day now. I made a quilt for the first, a sweet girl they named Lucia, and I loved how simple and pretty her quilt turned out. I decided to make the same one for Leon but with colors inspired by his nursery, soft greens and tan.
