Recently I found this great animal fabric. I had to have it!! I didn’t really, but it was also on sale, sew I bought it.
Not long after getting it, my college roommate called and said her daughter was expecting her first baby. I knew they liked to hike and thought this fabric was perfect for a shower gift.
Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it.
I started machine quilting pockets for a tote bag.
I decided to create lines like the tree bark.
More bark quilting. Different tree, different bark.
I found a perfect rusty-orange towel that matched the fox and squirrel squares for some bibs.
Sew, back to the quilt. I used my trusty painter’s tape to line up the hash lines.
Machine quilting right along. I did switch to a wider tape.
Almost done with the hash’s. Time for a coffee break.
Time for the binding. I like to press the seams open on bindings to reduce the bulk. Then I attach it on the back of the quilt first and turn to the right side to topstitch.
It came out great!! Maybe not your typical baby quilt, however I think they will love it!!
The tote bag looks great too!! Can you identify the different tree species?
Everything fits in perfectly!! Except the nuts!! I don’t know what those squirrels are looking for!!
Recently I had a chance to meet with my college roommate for a quick visit and delivered the gift. She sent a picture of the parents-to-be a couple weeks later. They LOVE it!!
Isaiah 40:4 Every valley shall be lifted up, and every mountain and hill be made low; the uneven ground shall become level, and the rough places a plain.
Isn’t he handsome?
