Quilts for Little Girls

When our oldest daughter surprised us by getting pregnant with her third child I knew I wanted to do something with hand embroidery. These little blue birds were perfect.

At night Abbie tells the birds to “please be quiet, Abbie sleeping now”.

Hand embroidered, designed and quilted by me.

I made this little quilt for my youngest grand daughter.
She is the 4th child in this family, a very diverse family in thinking, habits and friends. I wanted our little girl to know that because we look different on the outside, we are all the same…inside. 4 Best Friends..the same but different.

In 2007 while browsing in “Fun Quilts,” a publication of Fons & Porter, my little daughter peered over my arm and said, “MOM! I want dat qwilt.” It was the first applique I attempted. It replaced her store-bought quilt and still is on her bed almost three years later :0)

I wanted to portray elements of my daughter in applique. Elizabeth is shown in a silhouette at 5 yrs. old. The book block shows her love of reading. “Friendship is a Sheltering Tree” represents the importance of friends to her. And the sewing machine is for me! I loved every stitch of this quilt.

This quilt is for my Nana stash. When a grandchild reaches age 5 they get to choose a quilt. I think one of the twins has already claimed this one and she is not even 3 yet! The redwork designs are machine embroidered and the small blocks include images of favorite items for little girls.

I made this quilt in a quilt along challenge to celebrate spring. I chose Denyse Schmidt’s new Hope Valley line for the bright yet bold spring colors. I quilted it with a free motion all over meandering pattern then bound it, washed it and dried it to get that vintage crinkly texture that I love!

My daughter (sweet 16) hates pink and let us know since she can talk!!
So when it was her turn for me making a bedquilt for her, it became multi-colored chequered fabrics I choose. She loves it and is using it all winter on bed and even wrapping herself in it while making homework.
