UK Quilt Squares-UT Quilt Squares-Goose Baby Quilt-Harley Davidson Quilt Squares

Here are some squares that she is working on right now.The UK squares are being made for her niece's baby boy (named Caleb-you'll see his name, initials, birthday, etc on some of the squares). She made a gorgeous wall hanging for her baby shower gift but I didn't get any pictures of it. She is still working on some of the squares so I don't have all of them but you get an idea on how it will look. Definitely a one-of-a-kind quilt that will be that one special "lovie" that no amount of money could ever touch. Please note that some of the squares look wrinked and that is because she has just got them done and hasn't yet steam ironed them out.
Also, she has created a baby quilt for her preacher's wife that is expecting. She chose a goose holding an umbrella while walking in the rain. However, she didn't do this quilt in squares. She outlined the quilt with different numbers and letters (all of the letters are were picked from different names in the Bible). Look at the great detail in the feet & the umbrella handle. And if you've never done any chicken scratch, the rain drops, outline of umbrella handle, outline of feet, and the puddle, are very tedious. They actually look as though the thread never leaves the top of the material! This quilt just has to have the back put on, which she'll do when she gets a break from everything else-LOL. I just wanted to show you this creation because it is "SO amazingly WOW"!
And-the Tennessee Vols pattern that my husband had been working on has begun. She has 2 different patterns (I only have pics of one-but will soon have both). The first is the "T" with "UT" smaller on each side. The other is the "UT" with "VOLS" in the corner. Note-these can also be made to customization, just as she did with the UK squares in Caleb's quilt. Or they can all be the same.
Also, probably in a week or two, I'll upload some pictures of the Harley Davidson squares that are in progress right now. One pattern has already been drawn on the fabric, but not done and the other pattern is being finished. We're going back and forth on whether to use orange/white gingham or black/white gingham so that every stitch shows in great detail. Maybe we'll alternate-but I hope this one will be my birthday present or something ;oP Ok, I gotta go and try to upload the pics to this thing as it takes a while to get ALL of them in here as I don't just do one or two pics-LOL, way more than that!


We wish you all a great week and God Bless!
