NOELLE'S QUILT PART II

I picked up this as a kit at a quilt show a couple of years ago and realized that it was just waiting to be made into a Noelle Quilt. (Noelle is my youngest grand) She has moved from pink and purple being her favorite color to turquoise being favored.

In addition to turquoise, she loves owls. How can this not be a winner. Sending it up to Sue Salinger to quilt after I get together a backing. Maybe I have something in my stash. What do you think turquoise or lime green thread?

Have a good week and

Quilt happy,

TA DA!!!

Last June my youngest granddaughter, Noelle, was here for an extended vacation. 

While here, she designed her very own quilt using her Leapster Pad. 

OK, so it's blurry; but, you get the idea. 

Showing it to me she said "Grandma, I want you to make this for me with six snowmen".  What would you do?  Yes of course you would.  Her birthday is December 16.  So with a little quilter's license, here is Miss Noelle's Quilt.

Maybe she needs EQ for Christmas.

OLD COMFY QUILTS

I have had this quilt for a long time.  I thought it was one of my very first quilts; however, when I started quilting I was very good about labels.  I even started out numbering each one.  That was before it all got out of control.  You know, buying fabric without projects in mind.  Finishing tops and folding up the flimsies to start another project.  Boxes, bags, or totes with partially finished quilts known as UFOs, WIPs, or PIGS sitting on shelves in the quilt room.  This quilt IS labeled and it says #10.  I have NO idea what those numbers would be today.

When my youngest granddaughter, Noelle, was visiting, each morning she would be the second one up.  I was the first who made it out to the family room to have my coffee and news.  She would leave her bedroom and walk right to the quilt rack and pick out this quilt to wrap up in.  Every morning. 

I think it may be the softest one I have.  I have some with poodles, some with zebras and leopards; but this was her choice.  Today I washed and dried it to mail off to her.  I think it needs to live with her.  :-)

Quilt happy,

MAKING MEMORIES

This is one grandma who is just not a baker.  But, an opportunity arose this morning when Noelle talked about her favorite cookie (in fact, the only cookie she likes I was told) the Chocolate Chip.  So off to the cupboard to hunt for chocolate chips.  Aha, there sat a half a bag of mini chips.  Who knows why. 

I think she likes them (I am sooo not a baker).

Quilt happy,

Noelle and Dolly

Do you remember your soft and cudly dolly? My youngest granddaughter, Noelle, received this adorable cudly doll for her third birthday. It was handmade by my dear friend, Khristina from Australia (http://sewprimkhris.blogspot.com/. Isn't it the most precious picture of both babies, I mean big girls?

Noelle's Quilt

I found this great fabric while on the recent shop hop. It was all cut for a kit. I think my youngest granddaughter will love it. I may or may not use the pattern in the kit. I have extra of the heart girls. It can go into the quilt or be a pillow case. I hope to start this over the weekend. What do you think? Perfect for a three year old who loves the color pink?
