Stacked Coin Baby Quilt

23 Aug

What do you do when you are waiting for the baby to arrive?  Well you make another quilt, of course! I have been really eager to try a stacked coin quilt since I saw this one at Sew-Handmade.  Since I have extra time and nursery fabric on my hands, I decided to make a smaller one from scrap ...

Quilted Mod Baby Blanket

8 Jul

I am OBSESSED with quilting and I want to quilt every piece of fabric that I see right now.  When my friend, Wendy, had her baby back in February, I was just coming off of working 12 hour days plus morning (noon and night) sickness, so I didn't get to make anything for her super-adorable baby, Ben. ...
