Hudson's Birthday Pillow

 

A personalized little birthday present to go with the  Dinosaur quilt given for Christmas.

I used Lori Holt's 6 " letter patterns and a 24" pillow form.

A repurposed flannel sheet for the back.

It warms a grandma's heart when they love these handmade, little gifts.

Maybe next time I'll be brave and attempt a zipper on the back...maybe. lol.  It's been decades, maybe highschool home-ec class!!

Scrappy Charity Quilt

 

 A low volume little quilt from the book Sisterhood of Scraps.  I love most of the scrappy quilts in this one and couldn't resist.

I did make it smaller than the pattern. I've been keeping my donation quilts to 40 inches wide so I  don't have to piece the backings 

I did use all scraps and stash, I was tempted to shop for some low volume fabric , and the final quilt would have been prettier if I had.

All in all, its a very sweet and cozy quilt. 

Hand quilted in a simple grid.

42" x 54"

Itty Bitty Houses Donation Quilt

 The first of the Itty Bitty House Quilts, I have many more 3" houses ready but here I've picked the less girly ones in hopes of it being donated to  a child not into pinks and flowers.

The house pattern is one of many free 3" blocks available for free: Bitty Blocks

Hand quilted. 

Stitch in the ditch around the house blocks.

Crosshatch in the inner border, using perle cotton.

Straight lines in the outer border.

A bit of a different backing, but it reminded me of the tree colour on the front so I went for it.

40" x 50"

Now to come up with a totally different layout for a girlier version!
