A Bed Without A Quilt Is Like A Sky Without Stars

In need of a baby quilt for a sweet baby girl, I saw this fun quilt design...


And decided to make this...

Baby Quilt for Brynn

I wanted to make it more "girly" so I swapped out the swinging monkeys for the pretty princess and pup. 


Once complete I sent it Mary Lea, an amazing longarm quilter, who did a beautiful job quilting it!  I love the design Mary Lea selected, it matches the little flowers in the fabric.  


In need of a graduation quilt for a sweet high school grad, I saw this beauty...


Since she loves the beach I selected a soft palette of seafoam green, pastel yellow, foggy gray, soft blue and used a dark teal to make the stars pop...

Graduation Quilt for Shannon

Upon completion I sent it to my favorite quilter, Mary Lea.  She selected a quilting design that looks like waves and I must say it looked perfect! Seriously, I am not sure what I would do without her.



My HOE Stitcher's choice made its way to the Netherlands.  Here is what I stitched for Joke B.


Designer: LHN
2011 Monthly Ornament #9
Design: Joy and Peace 
Stitched for: Joke B.

I had the perfect backing fabric in my quilt stash...


And here is the ornament that I received from Cindy...

Why Do I Love Vermont....

Now that the summer is upon us I am able to head out to the local farmers market and enjoy all that it has to offer...


Including this "wild" band...


....Only in Vermont. :D
