2005/2006/2007 quilts

In 2005 there were more baby quilts to be made.  Thank goodness my husband has a large and prolific family that I could gift all of these practice quilts to!

I'm not sure if I didn't yet realize that one could buy quilt patterns or if I was just too cheap to actually purchase them.
But I did make this quilt for baby Lilly from an online photo.  I believe the baby's grandmother was a quilter. I wonder what she though of my missing star points and lumpy binding?

I was pleased with the bright colors though.


Hand quilted.

When it was time to make something for baby Kayla, instead of a quilt, I decided to try out a new crochet gadget I'd bought - called a "cro-hook" . It was a big long crochet needle with a hook on both ends.
I can't remember how to use it now - but it did make nice thick stitches and a sturdy afghan.

This quilt was for Baby Ella, born in 2006.  I was ready to try a softer, more feminine look, even though I did use a lot of brights too.  Hand quilted.

The only quilt I made in 2007 was this sail boat quit for baby Daniel.   I think sailboats are just right for a boy quilt.


I hand quilted this one too. Not a lot of quilting I think just outlining the boats.

 I guess there must have been a pause in arriving babies that year!
