Quilts 2013 & Projects 2014

I set a record this year and made TWO quilts! This first one is for my sister Allison. I have made quilts for Ashley and Mauri, and now it was Allison's turn! I absolutely loved this one. It just screams "ALLISON!!" to me. I started it before Christmas last year for two reasons: I was having a baby in the spring, and my mother-in-law (quilter extraordinaire) was going to leave on a mission sometime in the fall. So I finished this one sometime in the early summer. I was so excited for Christmas to come so I could finally give it to her!

 The other quilt was for Savannah's bed. She has been sleeping on a mattress on the floor, but we finally her bed set up. She was really excited for the big bed, but on the first night she said it was too high and wanted it back on the floor. Go figure. But she loves her quilt! It was a lot of fun to make. Lois made the sham from some of the scraps.

 

I've found a couple projects that I want to do this year. I made a couple pillow cases for our couch last year, but I don't know if I can resist making a couple of these little sprocket pillows. (Allison, you could try this too!) Aren't they darling?

 

I found this fun embroidered wall decor that looks fun to make. I was thinking I'd do the states we've lived in: Utah, South Carolina, Idaho and West Virginia. Here's to crafting in 2014!
