In April, I posted a picture of the first library quilt I made for my daughter. Since then, I have completed 2 more quilts. That leaves 2 more to go--she has 5 school libraries. I plan on starting on the 4th this month. Here, I am including pictures of the 2nd and 3rd quilts I made for Anna.
"Grab a Book and Grow" came about after seeing a picture of a tree with books for leaves. I made these books 3-dimensional. It was lots of fun looking for appropriate fabric for children's books. I used a leaf pattern to free-motion quilt the borders.
Next, I found a poster of a boy reading a book, and all kinds of objects were just jumping out of the book. It was really fun to turn into this quilt. I have plans to make another one of these some day. I think it is my favorite, so far.
I'm not very good with faces, but I loved this concept. I hope you enjoy these.
Wow, Kathy, I'm impressed with all your posts! It's neat to see your photos! I assume you have your Mardi Gras purse tutorial typed up too? I'll have Mom's butterfly quilt out Friday night so you can see it. :)
