Green Pastures and Clear Skies

Keziah's quilt is finished. I like the green and the white. Its sweet and soothing. I'm reminded of Psalm 23
 ² He makes me lie down in green pastures,
   he leads me beside quiet waters,
 ³ he refreshes my soul.
 I hope someday she will know what that means.

A quilt for Keziah

Working on a quilt for a little girl (baby actually) called Keziah (by order of a friend who wants to gift it to her). I like that I know who will be using my quilt. I don't know the baby but her mother is a cousin of a friend. When I began the quilt I prayed - for me, to do the best job I could, and for Keziah, that it would bring her comfort, and warmth and happiness.
Making a quilt can be so many different things. :)

Starting off

Piecing

Basting

Trimming

Banner for Jordan

My cousin is down with her family and they have a 5 year old son. I'm making something for him that could go on his wall. I wonder if the colors are too bright for a boy...I like it...but will he? Will just have to wait and see I guess.

Infant Coverlet

 Followed the binding tutorial from Missouri Star Quilt Company. Jenny's trick for the corners is great!

Here's the back with the teddy bears. :)

Two and a half inch binding strips.

Here's the lovely corner.

For Aaria's quilt I machine sewed the binding front and back. My hand sewing skills are not very good. But this time I wanted to do it the way Jenny prescribes so I hand sewed the back and am rather please with myself. I think my sewing got better by the time I came to the second side of the coverlet and faster too. :)

Rail Fences for Aaria

I finished my very first quilt - for a lovely little girl called Aaria.
I'm really happy to see it all done.
And I am more aware than ever of how much better I need to get. This is the first time I quilted through and did the binding so the work is not as good as I'd like it to be. But then again, it is my first quilt. I'll get better.


For now, I am mighty pleased :)

It's a simple rail fence pattern.

Did the back with this lovely Peppa-Pig fabric that's really soft and very sweet.
