For the pocket on the front I layered nine fabrics, stitched around the letters of her name and the design that I created and cut down to the desired color. I added crystals for eyes on the bee and ladybug and a few randomly placed on the pocket. I then added four heart buttons where the handles attached to the bag.

This quilt was made for Phil and Paula's baby girl.

I made these book bags for our twin granddaughters, Lana and Trinity. Our daughter-in-law, Nellie, asked if I could make them book bags because they're now picking out books at the library.

Trinity loves the "Brown Bear" book, so when I saw this fabric, I knew I had to use it in their book bags.

This quilt was made for my step-daughter's cousin's baby. This will be their first baby and they've decided not to find out ahead of time the sex of the baby. They both love dogs, so this quilt was made using fabrics with dogs on them. Minkee was used for the back of this baby quilt.

This quilt was made for two-year old Becca White. I made quilts for her twin baby brother and sister in January 2008. Becca's older sibling already had a quilt and her younger siblings had quilts, and Becca wanted to know where her quilt was. She likes giraffes, so I used fabric that had giraffes and yellow ducks on it. I made half-square triangles using the giraffe fabric and white chenille fabric and set them on point and then alternated them with yellow plaid fabric. I used yellow minkee fabric on the back of the quilt.

My son, Brian, asked me to make this quilt for Molly Alexis White, born 12-30-07, 9:16 pm, weighing only 4 lbs. 10 oz. and 18 inches long. Molly is the daughter of one of his co-workers, and she and her twin brother, Samuel, surprised their parents and came six weeks early. I used mainly flannel fabrics with some cotton and minkee. I fussy cut the animal fabric and then cut various sizes of the other fabrics to make a variation of the Yellow Brick Road quilt. In the lower right-hand corner of the quilt I put her name and the details of her birth.

I made this book bag to give to our granddaughter, Skyla, at the birth of her twin sisters. Skyla loves books so we also bought her some books for her book bag. I made the book bag and quilted it. For the pocket on the front I layered six fabrics, stitched around the design that I created and cut down to the desired color for each section of the design leaving about 1/4" next to the stitching. I then snipped the remaining 1/4" of fabric every 1/8" or so and washed and dried it giving it a Chenille look. I did the same around the outside of the pocket. The larger butterfly represents Skyla and the two smaller butterflies represent her baby sisters. I hope that she likes it.

We found out early last spring that our daughter-in-law, Nellie, was expecting twins due in October, so I had to get busy making baby quilts. I let Nellie pick out the patterns and fabrics for the quilts, but I got to decide which baby gets which quilt. Both babies are girls. I picked this quilt for the bigger and more active baby, Trinity, (formerly known as Twin A) because I thought the bright colors might give her something to focus on.

A friend gave me this fabric and pattern for my birthday last year. I was so busy making quilts for other people, that it was several months before I could get started on it. It was several more months before I finished it because every time that I was asked to make a quilt for someone else, I put my quilt away and worked on theirs. This is one of my favorite quilts. I used stitch-in-the-ditch and a floral pattern in the larger open areas.
