Quilts for Baby

Whenever I am expecting, strange things happen to me. :) HA! For example, I get these urges to learn how to knit. I never have actually learned. I can crochet all sorts of things, but never knitting....and so far this pregnancy, I have gone this far without learning again. But another craving I have is for sewing. I whip out a bunch of new receiving blankets (i go through those things, like 5 a day) and I start thinking about piecing together material for quilts. :) Luckily, my Mom was planning a visit and I knew if I could just piece together a top, she would do the rest and quilt them on her machine!! :) So I gave myself one afternoon and searched through the attic for boy material and these two are what I came up with. :) I think it is very funny that I actually put four pieces of material together and called it a quilt! :) But I like it.



The third quilt (obviously in a whole different quilting category) is made by my dear friend Sarah who is a prof at this. Just go see some of her stuff at http://www.ididntsaybanana.blogspot.com. Her latest which is shown here was auctioned off this week to help benefit her sister-in-law. You may have heard of her, most call her Nie from her blogging. http://nieniedialogues.blogspot.com/ Check out this blog to hear what is going on with them. She was in a serious plane crash and was in critical condition for a long time. Anyway, I am showing off Sarah's quilt here just for fun. I can't really show my weak one afternoon attempts without showing you what is possible in the world of quilting. :)
