My new great-nephew on the quilt I made just for him...

Isn't he the cutest thing?

Doing some decluttering today..If we haven't unpacked it or used it in six years I can't imagine we need to move it again...

Every baby deserves their own....

Remember the challenge quilt?  When my second daughter saw it she thought it was perfect for her friends baby.  He's a year old and cute as a button.  He even has his own FB page.  I told her sure, get me her address and I will send it off.  Then I had second thoughts.  I didn't want to send it anywhere. I wanted to keep it. I wanted to hang it in the sewing room and see it everyday.  I had also written all over the backing in Pigma Pen...which doesn't come out...  So....what to do?  Make him his own quilt.  Somewhere on a blog I saw a quilt made with solid jelly roll strips and white... I loved it...and remembered it...but of course now I can't find it.  So out came the Kona Solid jelly roll and I pulled some blues and purples...10 colored strips and 9 white strips later and this is what we have...

The photo I saw was turned the other way....

And I couldn't stop....I hand embroidered his name...

I think every baby deserves his own quilt...certainly this little boy does...

Design Wall Monday...

I'm cheating...  This is not my design wall..  This is my niece at her baby shower holding the quilt I made her soon-to-be-born son..

free pattern can be found at Cherry House Quilts...

When she opened it she said "oh...you know me so well.."  She likes simple and modern. I think I might have nailed it...

my sister-in-law makes the most amazing cakes.  The moistest cake you have ever eaten..

Mini-muffins, fruit kabobs, and guess how many peanuts are in the jar...(202)

and of course you can't have a baby shower without gifts... this is just the beginning..

And Abbie said...."take my picture"...

and this is what I got...
