New Grandsons ~ Trent and Tristen

I am now a quilter and a Grandma. My children had babies three days apart this year. Here are photos of Grandma and these Sweet Baby Boys. I just love them so much already!

Spongebob Quilts for Two New Grandsons

I have two wonderful children, Adam and Jessica. Recently, I have been blessed with the addition of two beautiful grandsons, Trent and Tristen, which are only three days apart. I have a lot more quilting to accomplish now! To welcome their anticipated arrival, I quickly completed two small Spongebob scrap quilts that were already in progress. These quilts are very bright to look at which makes them very baby friendly. They are just the beginning of all the quilts that I will shower these little angels with.

Jim's Blue and Orange Quilt

The fourth quilt that I made was for a boyfriend that was a New York Syracuse Orangeman college football fan. The cotton fabrics that I selected were a solid blue, a solid orange, and an orange print. Before I attached the borders of the quilt, I had a banner embroidered by an outside source for the top of the quilt that read “Syracuse Orangemen” in all capital letters. Before the quilt was completed, I also had four solid orange corner border blocks embroidered with the names of the men that wore the number “44” which has since been retired from their team. Those four men accomplished great things in their college football careers. This is a very special quilt which celebrates their successes.

My Three Linneas

These are the three Linnea cloth dolls that adorn my garden. They sit in their ornate chairs and enjoy the colors and fragances of my planted flowers.

My Blue and Green Quilt

This is my third quilt. I had purchased these assorted blue 4" squares that were used to help assemble the center block off of e-bay. Then, I purchased some lime green, white and the additional floral fabrics that were used. The purpose of this quilt's construction was to practice adding borders.

My Second Quilt

This is my second quilt. I utilized my leftover blocks from my Rail Fence quilt class. I purchased additional fabric and made a large quilt. The purpose of this project was to practice quilting on a large quilt.

My First Quilt

This is my "first" real quilt. It is a 45"x45" Rail Fence quilt. It was hanging on the wall in a quilt shop in Jupiter, FL in 2002. I liked the colors so much that I decided to purchase the kit and I signed up to take the quilting class that was offered.
