I think this quilt pattern has been secretly calling out to me to make it. Several months ago, my mom was given a huge stash of fabric and quilt books & magazines from a friend of a friend who was downsizing. My mom doesn’t sew, she knits and paints, but sewing is not her forte. [...]

Here’s a free pattern from Moda, Funky Monkey, that’s sure to put a smile on anyone’s face and result in lots of giggles. Or, maybe that’s just me.

This quilt is so much fun. What a wonderful treasure for a child to have. I took this photo at the Upper Canada Village 2007 Quilt Show.

A gorgeous Baby’s flannel blanket created by my friend Lisa Smith. It’s very warm and cozy. I need to make one for myself, in different prints of course. UPDATE: Here’s a tutorial on making your own Rag Quilt.
