I’ve made it a tradition to make each of my nieces and nephews a quilt when they are born. This newest quilt is for my brother and sister-in-law’s adorable newest addition, Josephine Addison (she’ll go by Addie). It was so fun to make another little girl’s quilt, since the last two family quilts I’ve made [...]

This is my new nephew, Sammy’s quilt. My sister and I picked out the fabrics together, and she knew she wanted something with a circular theme. I used Anna Marie Horner’s method for making the circles, which worked excellently (although tedious!). The background fabric is a Kona cotton in white. I made a scrappy binding using [...]

I [...]
