Our guild makes baby and children’s quilts and donates them to a local women’s shelter. This is my latest donation. I wanted something colourful and cheerful. I hope the child who gets it feels comforted by it.
New Charity Quilt
Category Archives: Baby Quilt
Bristol’s Quilt
Our new neighbours recently had their first baby. A sweet little girl named Bristol. I made this quilt for her. I used edge-to-edge design Animal Crackers and white Glide thread
Lurana Shelter Quilts
The Edmonton Modern Quilt Guild is supporting Lurana Shelter this year. The Shelter supports women and children who are victims of domestic violence. I made these two child size quilts to donate to this amazing charity. I used E2E design Marmalade.
Grant’s Quilt
This is a quilt I made for our new grandson Grant Alexander. His Mom saw a quilt on Pinterest that she loved and asked me to make one for the baby. I think she did a great job picking the colours. They all go together beautifully. I used white Glide threat and a pantograph called Malachite.
Welcome to the world Jabin
Welcome baby James Andrew
I used E2E design “Double Dutch” and white glide thread. This quilt is unique in that it is double sided so I needed to choose a free motion quilt design that would work with both sides.
Here is a close up of the FMQ.
Welcome baby Edward Andrew
In June we added a beautiful new member to our extended family. Baby Edward joins his big sister, 2 year old Ava. I made him this soft blue quilt and did a bunch of custom quilting on it.
Welcome Chloe
This quilt was made for sweet baby Chloe who was born on June 10th. It was fully custom quilted. Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture of the finished quilt but Chloe’s Grandmother was kind enough to send me one.
Alex’s Preppy the Whale
I love this pattern (Preppy the Whale by Elizabeth Hartman). It is just perfect for a baby quilt. Alex commissioned me to make this quilt for friends of his who have a baby girl on the way. I used E2E design Feathers with a twist, it reminds me of a whale swimming, and Glide’s Cool Grey thread.
Everly’s Baby Quilt
Rosalie made this beautiful quilt for her granddaughter. It is extra special because she used fabrics from Everly’s great-grandmother for the owl appliqué.
Rosalie gave me the quilt top and said I could do whatever I wanted with it. I started by adding trapunto to the owl, branch and leaves. Then I got out my favourite rulers and went crazy.
Instead of quilting the sashing and the border separately, I decided link them together with my quilting.
The plain backing really allows the free motion quilting to show.
Thank you Rosalie for allowing me to quilt this family heirloom.
