In the works

When we went to Ashley's birthday party in Longview I saw a quilt that her mother had purchased for her.  It was the most awesome appliqued quilt that I have seen, so....  I decided to make my own and think it's great.  It will take a while to finish since I applique by hand, don't like machine stitches.  I hope to have it finished in time to enter it in the fair.  Please let me know what you think.

My first post

Today I decided to spread out and share my quilts and baby warmers with others.  I started them about 6 months ago and stay pretty busy making and selling baby quilts and warmers.  They are made to order and I sew mainly with fleece and minky.  They make the most cuddly blankets you can find.  I make different sizes depending on how much a person wants to spend.  They range from 24x24 to 48x60 and then I make an animal to match the blanket.  My little animals have a sack inside that you remove and warm in the microwave for about 30 seconds, then place back in the animal.  I have been told that when placed on the babies tummy it soothes and calms the baby.  I make lambs, dogs, bunnies and ducks in the baby warmers.  In the large animals that wrap around your neck I make dogs, cats, monkeys and lions.   I will post more pictures later.
