David's Special Quilt!!!!

So if you have followed my blog for some time, you know about my sweet nephew David, who had open heart surgery at birth.  Well, this week, he had to return to Primary Children's Hospital for another heart surgery to repair some worn out valves.  I have been up North to take care of his siblings while he and his parents have been in the hospital, and I took a special quilt for David up with me.   He loved my See Squared quilt because it reminded him of Legos, and it went along with him to the hospital.  

I also took up some fabric markers with the quilt.  I told David that he could have each person that took part in his care sign a square.  It is making a wonderful memory quilt and apparently the care givers are really getting into signing the quilt, including lots of art as well.  (although, David questioned letting people sign it that had to do his IV's, he wasn't such a huge fan of them :)  

If you cant guess, this is from the anesthesiologist.  He told David all about the "Magic Air" that makes him feel good and have the best sleep.    So cute!!!

And wow, I suppose you get used to drawing hearts when you are in the Cardiology department.  So grateful to all of these people that are truly helping David to heal soon!!

And I am so grateful that the surgery went well and that David is doing well in his recovery.   Feeling so very blessed this week for my Twin Sister and her sweet little family!!!

Scrappy and Happy It Is!!!

 Thank you so much for all of your wonderful comments on my last post.   The resounding winner was to do Scrappy and Happy!!!   So I busted open my 5 Charm Packs, stashed away the navy prints, and had this beautiful array of happy prints!!  I can't wait to get started cutting :)

And just another invite . . . if any of you like to sew along with me just in case you missed the first Quilt Along, I would love for you to join in.  I will be sharing my blocks each month here on the blog, and you can do so as well with #charmingbabyquitls.   All you need is a copy of my Charming Baby Quilts Book, and these Free PDF downloads for the quilt along cutting instructions ;)  

And super bonus of the Scrappy and Happy . . . It means I get to dig through my bindings box and make up a super cute scrappy binding.  Those are always my favorite, and I am pretty sure I even have some leftover binding bits from some of the same lines in this quilt.  So fun!!  

Looks like some super Happy and Scrappy quilting ahead :)  

Charming Baby Sampler Remake

 So I am teaching my Charming Baby Quilts Sampler as a Block of the Month for our local quilt guild, here in Cedar City ;)   Which means, I need to make some samples along the way to teach.  So that equals a new Charming Baby Quilts Sampler!!!   Now, I just need to decide on the fabric.   It's always our favorite part right, so many fabrics, so little time :)    I know I want to make one with a dark background so . . . . 

I started with the idea of a Navy Background and then picking some Stashed Charm Packs that all had navy in them.  I would not use the navy prints for the piecing, and then get a whole bunch of happy and bright colors that all tie into the Navy.   So that is Option 1.  

But then I remembered this awesome Royal Quilt that I made a while back, and realized I have 2 Luster Jolly Bars and a Charm Pack that would just look awesome on my favorite purple backing.   I have been wanting to make another purple background quilt for a while, and this just might be it.   So that is Option 2.  

But then, I thought, don't forget Low Volumes.  I just finished a little secret sewing with Fancy That Design House's new Slow Stroll and had a bunch of low volumes left from it and if I paired that with her low volumes from her first line Songbook, it could be oh so pretty!!!  And on a Lead Grunge Background, love!!  So that is Option 3.  

And of course . . . I can't decide which I like best.   So could you help a friend out :)  What is your favorite  . . . .  Option 1 Scrappy and Happy,   Option 2 Purple and Striking ,   or Option 3 Low Volume Grunge Goodness.   Comment below ;)

And would any of you like to sew along with me just in case you missed the first Quilt Along??   All you need is a copy of my Charming Baby Quilts Book, and these Free PDF downloads for the quilt along cutting instructions ;)
