Twin quilts for kids -


My house turns into a real mess when I pull fabrics for new projects. I like to pull as many as I think I like for what I have in mind --- I pull WAY too many. And then, when I start cutting I start weeding out the ones I like. 



I made this quilt for a friend who has a son who needs a warm heavy blanket for the Maine winters. She wanted a old looking quilt but one that also was a boy quilt.


Dog.



My friend also wanted a "girl" quilt - I have an idea to put bright green/pink or purple circles in some of those squares but - I had to send a note to mamma to see about going that wild.



Here are the pieces of the "boy quilt" in a pile -

It is Labor Day weekend! I love this holiday .... I'm having a sale on my Etsy to celebrate the cooler weather coming. George and I are making quilts and going to New Orleans parades this weekend. So much fun. I was out shopping and saw this hilarious pic! Mirror images are not who we are! I am the person I see reflected in the faces of people who love me. Although ... I did take this selfie today, too. Quilt stuff? I'm making a star quilt for my bed. It will be partially scraps and partially other fabrics that were gifted to me or bought. I think I'm going to make an effort to make it clash as much as possible! Hope you all will find some fun this weekend. It's for us. The workers.
