Q3 Finish- #5 Baby Quilt

This weekend I put the final stitches into a baby quilt for my cousin's baby that was due this coming week.  After finishing the last stitches I logged on to Facebook to see that the beautiful baby girl had been born that morning.

I guess I am a little late at mailing it off.  Hope she likes it.


I am on a roll this quarter.  Hoping this roll lasts!

Q3 Finish: #21 - Banner for friend's quilt shop

I have my first finish of the quarter done, and handed off to the new owner!  I was working on the binding the past couple of nights, and it's finally finished with hanging sleeves and all.

My friend owns Quilt Addicts Anonymous, which is an online and brick & mortar shop.  Stephanie has known for a few years that I love all Jaybird Quilts patterns, so when she was at Market she picked up a copy of the latest Jaybird book for me, Alphabet Soup.  As soon as I picked up the book I knew I was going to be making some letters, but didn't know what all to do.  A couple people on the QAA instagram feed suggested that the shop needed a sign out of the letters, and that got me thinking.  Stephanie picked out the fabric for the sign, ensuring it would coordinate with the walls in the shop.  I haven't gotten a photo of it in it's new environment, but will once it is hung.

Here are the banners (my first finish of Q3):
