Quilts n' Quirks: Baby quilts are the Bomb!

Baby quilts are the Bomb!

Before I even had children I was busy making baby quilts, as I knew I'd need them some day. I had them made in both blue and pink, but I didn't get to use those pink ones for a long time, as we had six sons, before we ever got a daughter. Here are some of the quilts I've made for babies.
This on was made for Davin & LeAnn Kinlichee's baby, Sarah Louise in Ganado, Az.

Floating pinwheels are my favorites to do. I've made at least 8 of this patterns, giving them to some of our nephews and nieces, and also to some of my former students.

This quilt was made for Minerva Miracle Vasquez in Steamboat, Az. She was born May 6, 2008. She is a miracle because she and her mom survived a fatal accident that killed her wonderful father, Anthony.

But I have also done set in pinwheels. This one was done for Dawn & Jared Ludlum's baby Ryan in Ganado, Az.

Wedding Quilts

Over the past 20 years I've made many quilts for weddings, starting with my own children, and then for extended family and friends. Here are some of the ones I've made. This Cheater Quilt (printed fabric to look like it's pieced) was made for Brian and Susie Bayles. I'll always remember the evening that Suzie's family and Brian came over to help tie it. There were at least 4 guys who had never tied before. There was some wild stitching going on! Afterward I spent several hours, redoing the tangeled threads on the back, and removing strange stitches. But the fun was worth it!!
