Simply Sweet Baby Quilt
The is such a great pattern...I designed this around some lovely heavy baby flannel I found at a local shop (Cotton Patch, you rock!) I just could not resist it. It a fat quarter quilt, really simple, the fun is in the great big patches and also in the layout. I had it quilted in a medium size stipple and finished it with a striped flannel from the same collection. I will get a pic of the finished quilt up here soon. Its a real joy to wrap that baby up in this quilt!

For my new Behive buddies
Wow, its been a while since I posted anything here, huh? But just now I put up some of my Finished Objects.
The Walled Garden is my favorite so far, I've always really liked these colors together. If it fits this one is going back and forth between my bed and the couch all winter long.
Greenbaum's Star Quilt was in honor of Greenbaum's Quilted Forest being voted one of the 20 best quilt shops in the US and Canada....here's the link http://quiltedforest.com/. The pattern is in the magazine, although it took a little fiddling becuase it was published with a couple mistakes. The blocks are really easy, and the stars aren't bad, either, but I recommend giving yourself more than two weeks to finish :)
Glamour Girls was inspired by the border fabric, which I fell in love with. Unfortunately, I didn't get to choose the pattern or the accent fabrics, because I would have put more white into it. Later on I bought the last Kit for this quilt, intending to make shams and such, but the longer I live with it, the more I think I will just make a different quilt with the same fabrics. This one must have pleased a few other people, though, because all the kits sold and when I entered it into the county fair it got 1st in its category. Hmmm, wonder where that picture is....
OK, that's a few of them. There are, of course, about 5 more in various stages of finish. I send my quilting out so they get finished faster. Totally worth the money.
