05/11/2005: "spring babies"

a friend from highschool had a little baby girl a couple of weeks ago. her name is Lucy, so i made her this little embroidered "L". i got a frame to put it in today but i haven't gotten it done yet. embroidered with perle cotton on muslin.

and then i finished the strawberry kiwi quilt for my friend skylar, who is about a month old. i quilted it with spirals that start on the green kiwis on the fabric and get bigger, so it's kind of got big circles all over it. (you can't really see the quilting in the picture) i started quilting with random shapes and i didn't like it and had to tear it out. note to self: don't do that again. i am new to quilting, really. i always used to tie the baby quilts i made because i didn't have a machine that was beefy enough to stitch nicely through all of the layers.

i ALWAYS tie cuase it's just way easier and i can't sew a straight line to save my life....which makes quilting look really crummy........

I really like how your quilt turned out. The colors look so yummy--they make my mouth water just to look at it!
