Three quilts for one family

Last week, my sister became a grandmother again. A little girl...we are very happy all is right with the little one and her Mum. So I thought I would give her a little quilt to play on.

Nothing complicated. I started with a little favorite brown bear fabric piece. And continued adding strings of fabric.

On the back are two strawberry fabrics, small and big prints. The binding is made of leftover pieces of fabric of the quilt.

It has been washed (and being folded, hence all the wrinkles) and ready to play on!

Because she already has a small brother and sister I thought I would give them quilts to play with or snuggle under. This one is a rag quilt and full of birds, turtles,

Dachshunds,

Fish, flowers and...

different animals on the back. 

It feels soft and is not very big. I hope her brother likes it!

 Her older sister of 4 will be given this quilt. It is full of little houses, trees,

 Forest animals,

 And all different kind of fabrics, a bit whimsical and strange.

 It is big enough to fit her big bed or make a tent!

 At the back you see a Kaffe Fasset print. I had lots of it but this is the last piece. In the corner some of my favorite left over pieces.

 A few close ups. It is quilted with a Aurifil thread with different colours which was in my closet for long!

It fitted this quilt well.

Yesterday I met my sister's grandchild only 2 days old! I think I could have stayed there, just adorable!  

I left these 3 quilts with their new owners. I hope they will be used over and over again!

All quilts are made out of cotton fabrics, sewn and quilted by machine.

Kleurrijk...Colourful

Vorige week hebben we, een paar dames van onze quiltgroep (quiltbee) en ik, deze ragtime quilt af gemaakt van allemaal restjes stof. De quilt is gemaakt om weg te geven en ik vind dat ze daar in het Engels een mooie term voor hebben: 'carequilt'. Enkele van ons hadden veel stoffen met allerlei grote en soms opvalllende prints over die maar in de kast bleven liggen. De quilt is 1.55m lang en 1.20m breed, dus een kindermaatje. Na het naaien heb ik hem 2 keer gewassen en in de droger gestopt. Hij is wel erg druk geworden, maar voelt wel lekker aan en komt vast wel goed terecht.

Last week we, a few ladies of our quiltbee and me, finished this ragtime quilt. It is made of fabrics with large and very colourful prints wich were lying in our closets doing nothing. The quilt measures 1.55m by 1.20m. I washed it twice and it has been in the dryer. It is made to be given to a good cause and I like the English term for it: carequilt. It is very bright but it feels very soft and cosy so it will certainly find its way.
