Christmas Gifts 2011

Well, after getting married going on my honeymoon and moving about 3 hours away from home I found the time to make a few quilts for people for Christmas.

The first two are t-shirts quilts I made for someone to give to her son for Christmas. She wanted one from his High School days and one from his college days.

This last one was for a lady from Portland; her daughter did some cross stitching and she asked me to take those and put them into a twin sized quilt. The cross stitching her daughter did was amazing! I put them into borders and made the quilt.

Hopefully each child enjoyed their quilts.

In my new home I have a great sewing room it is just big enough for the queen sized quilts to fit and easy enough for me to move aroudn them while I sew! -

I am ready for orders so please feel free to contact me either email: k_spitz@yahoo.com or by -cell phone: 517-490-3418

Lee Elizabeth's baby quilt

My friend Katie and her husband Derek had their little girl on May 5th, I wanted to make a blanket for her and wanted to use part of the bridesmaid dress from her wedding. The dresses were black but the sashes we had were this beautiful green color. My sash wasnt going to be enough so I asked my friend Lindsey to see if I could use her sash also and she said that was fine. So the sash I used as the edging for the quilt. I used a black quilted fabric for the backing. It turned out pretty good seems how I really dont work much with edging!!!!

Lap quilts as an In Memory

I was contacted by an area woman who wanted to me make three lap quilts as an In Memory for her friend that passed away from a car accident. She wanted me to make them out of her friends old clothes and also incorporate pictures.

I used a pair of Khaki pants on each of the quilts then used some of her t-shirts and even board shorts for the rest of the borders and backs of the quilts.

It was a pleasure to make these In Memory quilts.

***Sorry I have no idea why I can't get these last two to rotate correctly!! Oh well***
