This year the majority of my gifts are handmade.
For the littlest grandkids...quilts.
First, Fancy Forest by Elizabeth Hartmann for the baby.
My youngest granddaughter gets Le Jardin by Bunnyhill.
I even wrote her name in the corner.
Both of these quilts were hand guided free motion and ruler work
with Le Jardin having some computer borders.
The baby also gets this quilt from my daughter.
She designed, drafted and pieced it using a purchased pattern for the fox.
And details of the quilting I did.
My daughter's family will receive this cuddly quilt backed in minky.
Quilted it using one of my favorite edge to edge patterns.
...one for my sister and one for my DIL.
The hardest things I made were these pencil cases with a pattern ByAnnie called Flipping Out.
I am still working on charity quilts; but alas, with the pandemic, no one will accept them.
I will hold on to them to gift in the future.
So what is next...
I am piecing a sampler quilt using stash fabrics for
A Year of Stars,
a year long tutorial on free motion and ruler quilting by Natalia Bonner starting Jan. 1st.
I'll have a red and green quilt to gift next year!
Wishing you all a happy holiday season!
Nothing better than sweet cuddly handmade gifts. Fancy Forest is delighful and Bunny Hill design is as cute as can be. Your daughter's design is incredible. Interesting about the donation quilts. That was going to be my focus in this coming year.
ReplyDeleteWow, what lucky recipients. I hope they treasure these beautiful quilts. The first two really speak to me. I’ve also found that I can’t donate quilts this year. Hopefully that’ll change soon.
ReplyDeleteLove that sleeping fox!
ReplyDeleteSo much hand made goodness! I guess it depends on the charity if they will accept donations.
