midpoint quilt I | a quilt for Lucia Rose

 

This one is for a little one named Lucia Rose. Her big brother is a German shepherd and her mom is a yoga instructor, hence the perfect German shepherd yogi fabric by that I found on spoonflower. Pattern by Cotton and Joy which I love and will definitely make again. Many thanks to my friend Jess for trusting me to make it!

fresh as a daisy | a quilt for Luna

 

For Luna 🌸 I didn’t look at the pattern too closely when I bought it so I was a little taken aback when I had to cut out hundreds of pieces but all the time spent on this quilt was definitely worth it! And since it took so long to make I got lots of tv time in - I watched all of Rez Dogs, a bunch of Abbott Elementary, and season 3 of Bridgerton 💜

Pattern by Pen and Paper Patterns!

sunshine on a cloudy day (midpoint II) | a quilt for Noella

 

Sunshine on a cloudy day! Because second babies deserve quilts too, of course 💖 This one is for Matt's cousin's son's baby sister (if you can follow that). Pattern by Cotton and Joy

May the Force Be with You | a quilt for Sebastian

I made this quilt for Rae's baby brother back in 2023 and for some reason this post was stuck in my drafts so I'm just publishing it now. Off course he needed a Star Wars quilt too (check out hers here!). I asked his mom Thelma which characters she'd like best and she said Leia, Luke, Han, and R2-D2. All good ones! I had a lot of fun paper piecing the blocks because it's a technique I don't usually use and it's always nice to practice. Like last time, I made two and raffled off the second one to benefit a local family whose daughter is fighting cancer. I love making quilts and it's even nicer if I can help someone who needs a little extra support along the way. 

Pattern is by Quiet Play!

 

twin bento boxes | quilts for Rosemary and Sylvia

 

I’ve had two cousins have sets of twins recently and I’ve learned that it’s so fun to make two quilts! These were extra fun because I was the only one who knew the babies’ gender (not even the mom and dad knew! They had a nurse call me!) so I had an exciting secret for months. I didn’t meet my self-imposed deadline of finishing by their birth so once the babies arrived I had my mom @dmmeenan help me with cutting and sewing so we could get the quilts done faster. These are mod bento box quilts (pattern by @filminthefridge) made with coordinating raspberry and coral toned fabrics from @beyondthebolt.ri. I hope Rosemary and Sylvia (aka Rosie and Sylvie) love them like I loved my baby quilt! We took the photos after brunch at @nicksonbroadway at the Wedding Cake House next door, and of course Rory had to jump in! I actually had Matt edit him out of the first shot 😏
