Lyvi´s Fairy Quilt - Block 1

I am working on a full size quilt for grand daughter Olyvia who will be 3 in April. She loves fairies. The quilt will have 24 blocks with fairies. Haven´t decided how I will set them together yet. I plan to hand quilt this one. The method I am using is called the crayon method. The drawing is done with a permanent black Sharpie and then I use crayons to add the color. After each block is finished the block is pressed with a very hot iron using waxed paper. The wax on the paper seals the crayon into the fabric, making it permanent. It can then be washed many times without losing the color. Only 23 blocks to go!

Kaiden's Quilt # 3

Just finished up Kaiden's third quilt. It is hand-pieced and hand-quilted. And, yes, my fingers are sore. Kaiden is due in about 6 weeks. Gramma (that's me) is very excited.

Baby Quilt Finished at Last


Just finished little Kaiden's quilt. I finished piecing it quite awhile back, but had to wait until I could find some batting down here in Costa Rica before I could quilt it. Completed the hand quilting on Thursday and did the binding yesterday. Hope to have the second quilt finished within a few more days and will post a photo of that one as well.
