February 2023, one baby quilt for charity, one baby quilt for a friend


This fabric is called "cheater" fabric, it looks pieced but the squares and the cute little pictures are printed on.  I had enough fabric to make three quilts, 2 for members of our church - I like to make the baby quilts for when our sisters have their babies.  The third one is for the pregnancy center in town.  People can take instruction and classes to become better parents and they are rewarded by a handmade quilt.  The bottom picture is of the back - it's pieced with fabric that compliments the front pictures.



In NJ so many years ago, I had a little friend, (her name will not appear here).She was about 3 or 4 when this started.  She'd sit with me, by me, or on my lap for church.  After church she would come with us and I would  make mac and cheese for us and we'd sit down for an afternoon of Disney movies.  She called them, "moofies".  Anyway, it was so fun, she was the cutest, she called me Grandma Shauna.  So, we've been gone from NJ 20 years and she has grown up and I can't believe it, she married.  Her first baby is due momentarily.  She needed a baby  quilt.  This is it,-  mostly blue flannel, some yellow contrast, pattern - 9 patch.
