Rob's House Warming Gift

I had wanted to make something for our long time teaching friend, Rob, for his first 'official' home by the sea. I scoured fabric websites for lighthouses and other fabrics that had some ocean animals and theme to them. Quilt is on its way to his home and hopefully, will give him much joy in the winter months especially. Definitely a labor of love and friendship as I learned much about my initial hesitations to start but happiness in its completion.

Laurie's Quilt

My dear friend Laurie lost her cat Izzy after over a decade of snuggles and meows and love. I found a three by two panel of these cats a while back and thought I would purchase - never know who might be interested in a future lap quilt using it. Well, the time came sooner than I thought and I enlarged the quilt with two patterns and some turquoise accents. The vertical two pieces were the borders on the panel and the borders were too pretty not to do something with them - hence the vertical dividers. Who knew these cat panels called Cat-i-Tude were so popular!

Below is her finished quilt. She should receive it today - labor of love with many 'opportunities' to improve from this beginning quilter!

Minion World

Our grandchildren love Minions. The youngest literally cracks up in the movies and the children only have Movie Night on rare occasions. When I found this panel, I decided this was something that I had to make! Three of the four have birthdays in March so this will be fun to give as well as see their reactions.
