I do small baby patchwork quilts from time to time, and this is one that I did this past summer for a customer.
She wanted a pooh quilt. I used Winnie the Pooh fabrics for some of the squares, soft flannel for others, and a soft pink flannel on the back.
I used the bee from here for the center with the name, as pooh always has his hand in a honey pot!

That is so sweet! How long have you been quilting? I have always wanted to learn, but not sure where to start. It probably won't be anytime soon with all the embroidery to do!

The first quilts i did are kind of an embarrassment to me now, :)! But I made my first about 8 years ago.
They have gotten much much better, but that is the only one I can show, because it is the only one with an embroidables design on it.:(

That is just adorable Yeffie! I've done a few quilts with embroidery designs incorporated (I have been a quilter far longer than an embroiderer) but I can't show them here because they were from before I discovered the embroidables designs. I guess I'll have to use my credit and buy some designs from the site and make a quilt using them. Maybe a Dolly Mama's wallhanging to hang in my office LOL

That is a lovely quilt. Looks like you love what you do. Seeing all the items that everybody makes makes me sorry my machine is in the shop. Hopefully it will be home soon.

Thanks ya'll!!!
I truly love quilting! I am hoping to be able to do more of it once we move. right now, I work from home doing most alterations, and a few logos for businesses and custom sewing.
When we move, my sewing will be what I want to do, etc. Granted, I won't have the "fun" money I get from sewing for other people, but at the same time, I will be able to do the things that I want to do for my kids without waiting until we are done with everyone else's sewing;)

Cute baby in your picture!
I would hate for anyone to see my first quilt. I used different weight fabrics, and the whole thing was a little off and wavy. I'm better at it now, but need to do one with Embroidables designs on it. There are so many cute ones to choose from!

Great job on the quilt. I haven't tackled one that large yet, but have done quite a few smaller baby quilts where most squares are done with embroidery. They are fun to make that small because they can be done so much faster. I don't think I have the patience to do a great big one like you've done. LOL

All quilts are treasures, some just for different reasons!

I have poo quilt material for a baby quilt that I haven't completed. I was going to do something with the snowball pattern and still am, but you sure have me thinking. This site really gets your creative juices flowing.
