Hester's Forest and Maroon Quilt and Pillows

I originally sewed these 16-patch blocks together planning to make large potholders for gifts for Christmas:


But they were so pretty together, they just didn't want to be separated!  So I put them together as a queen-sized quilt for Hester.  This was taken August 5th:


Thought I'd try out somebody's method of lopping part of the quilt up over my shoulder as I quilted in my itty-bitty office.  But Victoria came along about then, and of course I had to entertain her.

Quilt attack!


Yeah, Victoria has the camera, and is every bit as snaphappy as I am.  😅

Ethan's Kite Blanket

I had a bit of that soft Egyptian cotton left, and some of the silky polyester, too.  Sooo... I made Ethan a blanket.

Teddy and Amy's Egyptian Cotton Blanket



The Egyptian cotton I had wasn't wide enough, so I connected two long lengths with the flatlock on my serger.

Texas Star Quilt

I made this quilt for Joseph in maybe 1995, with pinked calico squares in bright colors that I found in Mama's basement.  I got two diamond shapes out of each square.

Here are Victoria and Caleb, with Socks on the quilt, in Caleb's second-floor room in our 'new' house in the country.



Here's Joseph, September 18, 1995, in his room with the quilt on his new bed -- but I must've been more interested in the bed, the room, and the boy, than the quilt!



When Joseph was 4, back in 1989, I made him this puff quilt and the matching decorative pillows.  And, as usual, I was more interested in anything and everything else than in the quilt.  🥴🙄  Every other block in this quilt, and the pillows, too, have a teddy bear stenciled on them with fabric paint.
