hubby’s quilt

labeled pins for the moose and the bear – lots of little pieces

Putting together a quilt takes planning. this one is predominantly black and white with splashes of color and it looks nothing like the original design for hubby’s quilt – more picks below.

I love sewing and quilting allows me to sew a lot!

The Moose and the Bear in the quilt are blocks from Wonderful Woodlands Quilt of the Art East Quilting Co. They are found here “https://arteastquiltingco.com/online-shop/ols/products/wonderful-woodland-quilt-pattern-booklet”. The Moose and the Bear are complex yet easy patterns – complex as there are so many pieces and labelling each piece as cut made the process very easy.

Hubby holding the quilt – very camera shy

It is 50 inches long and 62 inches wide, so hubby can warp up on those cold winter days.

laying out the last block – this was an idea but the heart ended up on the back and some more geometrics finished the quilt

two Quilts – one for each twin

Just over a year ago, my niece gave birth to twins. They are beautiful the way that all babies are, fresh and unsculptured. One of each, a boy and a girl. I have only seen pictures and little bit of face time with them. They live on the prairies and I on the coast.

I have been sewing since I was a teenager and have made numerous skirts, dresses, pants, coats and a few costumes along the way. So, quilting was a natural extension for pandemic sewing. These are quilts 4 and 5 that I have made this year.
