Custom-designed, embroidered pillows are now my go-to baby gift! Like the other 20×20 pillows, I used Embrilliance embroidery software to edit a birth announcement file purchased from Designs by JuJu. After completing the machine embroidery, I quilted it using ruler and free-motion quilting before adding the backing fabric and binding. The pillow’s border is made from Tula Pink’s purple “Hexie …
When my friend (and chiropractor) had her baby, Tiffany, she asked me to make 20″ x 20″pillows for her other two children because she loved the gift. Like the Tiffany pillow, I used Embrilliance embroidery software to edit a birth announcement file for Jason that was purchased from Designs by JuJu. After completing the machine embroidery, I quilted it using …
When my friend (and chiropractor) had her baby, Tiffany, she asked me to make pillows for her other two children because she loved the gift so much. Like the Tiffany pillow, I used Embrilliance embroidery software to edit a birth announcement file for Annabelle that was purchased from Designs by JuJu. After completing the machine embroidery, I quilted it using ruler …
I had my knee replaced last December and was assigned to a physical therapist, Mari, who happened to be pregnant and due the exact same day as my chiropractor’s baby was due. It also turned out that I’ve known and worked with my physical therapist’s mom for about 25 years. It’s such a small world. Since I had a birth …
My chiropractor, Denise, recently gave birth to her third child, Tiffany Marie. When thinking about what I should give her as a baby gift, I remembered that quite a while back, I had purchased a few birth announcement embroidery templates from Designs by JuJu that I’ve not yet used. Instead of buying a gift, I decided to make her a …
This project was commissioned by a friend in Nixa for her grandson. Her hubby has always had John Deere tractors and he loves giving his grandson rides so a John Deere-themed baby quilt was going to be a hit. The fabric started out with what is referred to as a “cheater fabric” meaning the blocks and sashing were already printed. …
I recently completed and donated this quilt to OPQG who’ll in turn pass it on to our local chapter of Newborns in Need. This the first of several, simple 36″ baby quilts I’m making in order to practice and learn a new skill, ruler quilting. I’m thinking whatever baby receives this will not care that part of the quilting is …
This baby quilt is part one of a two-quilt set. This bear paw pattern baby quilt using bear fabrics measures approximately 36″ square and was made for our soon-to-be new family member. My great-niece is expecting her first child in March and his initials spell the name Mac. I’m almost done with a larger, matching companion quilt that measures about …
In the fall of 2018, I promised each of our daughters and daughter-in-law that I’d be making them a custom Christmas tree skirt. In 2018, two of them were completed and it wasn’t until the Christmas of 2020 that I got around to completing the other two. Here is the whitetail and mule deer quilted and appliqued tree skirt made …
In 2017, I made two large, sofa-style pillows using premium metallic quilting cotton and the “cathedral window” quilt pattern. These pillows were gifts for two of our daughters at Christmastime. For the two larger pillows, I pieced the backs with holiday fabric with fabric leftover from other projects (see photos in the gallery). Many of the patterned fabrics had metallic …

This child-size, Batman-theme quilt was a project created and donated to Ozark Piecemakers Quilt Guild’s Operation Squad Car program. Quilting cotton in orange, yellow, blue, black and Batman print was cut into hexagon shapes and assembled. The quilt is bordered by a different Batman print in cotton flannel. The back is solid orange. The Operation Squad Car quilt program provides …
