The year of the Quilts (and other projects)

This year I decided I was going to make everyone in the Family

a homemade gift....and because I love quilting so much,

most of the Family would be receiving a nice warm quilt

to keep them warm while watching TV or just snuggling

on the couch reading during the cold wintery days ahead. Now I can finally begin to show some of the quilts I made.

This one was for Grandson Ben in Vermont..

He's a Freshman at a Community College in New York State and

absolutely loves golfing. (brag..brag...and happens to have won

many awards at this sport!)

so...he got one with a golfing theme...

Grandaughter Jenny who is an Accountant in Burlington, Vt. saw

this pattern while visiting here this summer and

fell in love with it....so, naturally, I just had

to make one for her.....

Grandson Chad is a Junior at Castleton College in Vt.

was quite a football player in High School....

so his has footballs all over it...

My Grandniece who lives in Atlanta, Ga.

is a lively first grader who has just learned to read..

I heard that Livy loved the Dick & Jane quilt

along with the book and was busily reading

her quilting book....

My Daughter Melinda loves snowmen

so I made her a set of 6 snowmen placemats, napkins and mini

mittin napkin ring holders.

I think it took me just as long to make this set

as it did to make a quilt...

and the little table runner went along with the set

Melinda will look so nice in this bright red
hand knit sweater.....
