Baby quilts with lovely hearts and edge to edge designs

Scrolling through my blog posts, I realize that I never posted photos of the two complete baby quilts I finished in March.  It hasn't been a very productive year thus far with three quarters of the year already behind us.  I will have to seriously make up time.

With the Lovely Hearts Set 1 I digitized, I made a whole cloth quilt with lace and satin ribbon added to the sides.


Set 2 was done in separate blocks which were combined with some of the edge-to-edge designs which is also for sale in my store.  This blue and purple quilt was gifted to one of my sons' friends who welcomed their firstborn recently.


All designs can be purchased here.

Sew awareness 2026 Quilt Festival theme quilt

Herewith the original Sea glass Quilt I entered into the festival.  It didn't qualify for a prize though as we novices have to compete against teacher and master quilters which is not an even playfield.

I combined turtles with the sea glass design to depict the detrimental influence of micro plastics on the environment.  Turtles was also used as the logo for the festival. The turtle design I bought from Urban Threads, and you can find the design here.  The fabric I used for the border is from Langa Lapu.



Edge te Edge quilt

I tried to finish this quilt also in time for Bloemshow, but with working overtime wasn't able to.  I used all the practice stitch outs ...
