**Warning: This post is super old, but I didn't want to post it until now for obvious reasons you'll understand after you read through it...
Before I went home for my 2 week vacation (at the end of September) I had decided that I wanted to make a baby quilt for my dear friends Liz, Jared, & Baby "Tron". Well, when I got home my mom had other ideas .... it was clear that 1 quilt just wasn't good enough. When it comes to my mom & quilts she turns into a drill sergeant. Even though I was at "home" for 2 weeks, I really wasn't in Madison for the whole time - total it was probably less than 1 week. In this one week time Mom had decided I was going to make a total of 3 quilts. With each quilt I did more and more of the work whether it be the sewing the back on, hand stitching the border, or even the actual quilting. I'm pretty proud of myself if I do say so myself.
Here's the final products ....
Quilt 1:
This Quilt is for Jared, Liz, & Baby Tron. Liz is going to be induced next week!!
The back
Quilt 2
This quilt is for Mike and Sarah Good. Sarah had Yliana Michelle Nov. 17, 2010
My mom's friend made a label to put on the back of the quilt.
Quilt 3:
This one is for Jason & Cara Friedlan. Cara had Owen John Oct. 15, 2010.
The pattern is supposed to go with the song "5 little monkeys jumping on the bed, one fell off and broke his head ..."
Todd has always said that I wouldn't get hired in a quilt store if I didn't know how to quilt. Well, it appears that I do now. Thanks Mom!!
