'Tis the day after Christmas and I can finally post pictures of the gifts I made for my family this year. This is my Great Granddaughter with her "Winnie the Pooh" quilt. Isn't she precious? She will be 2 at the end of January - my how time flies!! With her birth we became a 5 generation family.
This is my Granddaughter with her new quilt! I also made her matching pillowcases but I failed to get a photo before I wrapped them up!!
This is my Mom with her "Chocolate Covered Cherries" quilt. As long as I can remember we always got Mom a box of chocolate covered cherries for Christmas - it became a tradition. She is now diabetic and really should not be eating them, however, she still does in moderation and we still get her a small box each year. I saw this pattern in a quilt shop and just knew I needed to make it for her - she can now enjoy her "chocolates" all year round without the sugar or the guilt! She loved this quilt. I usually make pillowcases with all my quilts but I did not have enough fabric left to make one with this one so I made her a purse out of the remaining backing fabric.
So, this is the purse I made for her - she loved that too!!
Note the "chocolate" button!!
This is a small candle mat I made for my daughter.
This is a tote bag I made for my daughter. I also made a matching insulated lunch sack and a shoe bag.
Well, I did manage to get a picture of 3 of the pillowcases I made for my 2 grandsons - they are both guitar players. The oldest is single and out on his own so only 1 pillowcase for him - with the blue stripe. The other grandson lives at home still so I made him 2. I also made pillowcases to match their quilts. I simply ran out of time this year so I didn't get their quilts completely finished so I wrapped them up anyway and included a "Promise to Finish ASAP" card so they could at least know that "NANA" made them each a quilt. I made many more gifts but I wrapped them almost as soon as they were finished. I was so busy I forgot to take pictures!!
