Autumn Fall Custom Quilt


This custom quilt was designed in part by one of our customers. Gregg asked for something totally different than we had ever done before. We emailed back and forth about 50 times before coming up with this pattern. I used Microsoft word to create a sample, then he would change it. Then I would change it to make it the right size. Then we would talk about colors and what would look good, and what should be where to make all the blocks and measurements work out right. Then Sandra found different fabic samples for him to choose from and we emailed him the pictures. He didn't know it but I was in the early stages of labor with my baby boy at the time while we were emailing back and forth, lol. It was still so much fun because it kept my mind off the contractions and Gregg was just so great to work with. We really enjoyed coming up with this new pattern for his sister's new baby. Of course, after it was made on file, Sandra got to do all the actual work of making the quilt because she is just so good at it and does such a fabulous job.

Baby Cowgirl / Cowboy Rag Quilts



















These baby cowgirl and cowboy rag quilts require no hand quilting! All you need is a sewing machine, scissors, and thread.
These quilts were inspired by Sarah, a friend of ours who is into the western style. We made the pink one for her new baby girl. Sandra also made an adorable western baby boy rag quilt.

Personalized Baby Quilts

Personalizing any gift makes it more fun to give and to receive. Sandra came up with this pattern to accommodate all the interest in personalized baby quilts/blankets. I made this quilt for her new baby, Avery (obviously, that's the name on the quilt). I had various family members sign their names on the squares, all Sandra's idea. She did the same thing for my baby boy a few months earlier, as shown below.
You can also have the name embroidered onto the quilt to get a more sophisticated look. Using different colors and prints, you can use your imagination to create just about any look you want.

This quilt was inspired by none other than all our brave soldiers who are in Iraq and elsewhere. These are the brave men and women who put their lives on the line every day for all of us.

This quilt is a great way to show our support for our troops, whether we agree with the war in Iraq or not. We will always appreciate them for being there to defend our country and pay the price of freedom for us all.

Design and quilt by Sandra.

Puff quilts are back! This puff quilt in natural colors was inspired by one of our favorite customers. Karen made a special request for a puff quilt kit in natural colors so it would match her grandson's nursery. We were happy to oblige. Sandra came up with the combination. Since then, we have made two other custom puff quilt kits for Karen. She wanted to make the quilts for two of her nieces who were having baby girls. She chose for one, pink/brown/white and for the other one, mauve/tan/cream. We hope to have these in our puff quilt kit collection soon as these seem to be our best sellers.

On sale now!

Matching Triplet Quilts

















Our puff quilts were inspired by a friend of ours. She made a pink puff quilt for her baby girl and I just thought it was the cutest thing. When I was surprised with the news that I was having triplets, two girls and a boy, I had to have three of them.
So, being on partial bed rest for three months, I went to work on them. I had decided to give the girls different colors, in case they were identical, so we could tell them apart. As it turned out, they couldn't have looked more different! I made one pink, one blue, and one lavender puff quilt and they turned out to be absolutely adorable!

Hearts Intertwined Valentine Quilt



This Quilt was inspired by our gracious neighbors' lovely daughter. She was having a baby girl close to Valentine's Day so this was a perfect fit. Sandra came up with this design, of course. Our neighbor, who lives between Sandra's house and my house is always giving us gifts for our babies. For my triplets, she gave them three adorable matching outfits. So when we learned that her daughter was expecting, we jumped at the chance to give her a gift. The brightness of the fabrics in this quilt have made it one of my favorites.
