quilts for friends

this is lemon drops finished. i made this for my friend kathi. she just recently got a job and i thought i remember her saying she liked yellow and so i made her a quilt.
i used some katie jump rope fabric as the binding and LOVE it. this is very soft on the eyes. i do LOVE bright but this is a fun change.

i'm a geek and i love it!! :) i made the card to match. i was able to give it to her saturday and she liked it!!

this was for my friend jody who also got a job recently and i was so happy for her. they are both working at the same school in the same area. she liked her quilt also. it can be very difficult making quilts for people that you don't really know what there style is in there house. although, barely any of my quilts match my decor but some people want everything to match. me - not so much.

for the back i used two fabrics that i already had a green and an orange ginham.

i used a solid orange on the binding...

and i made a card to match again. :) i'm now working on a baby quilt for a shower i have this sunday. i better get cracking. what are you up to???

  13. These look great.
    I personally think you need to quit your day job so that you can get more quilting in and post more often but I guess you have to have cash to buy more fabric too. Oh well!
    I always look forward to seeing what you are up to. Great quilts. I love the happy hour pattern and the fabrics you chose are great!
