giving and receiving

I just spend a couple of hours trying to find all the photos for this post, I sure need to get better at organizing my photos! These are a few of the quilts and wallhangings that I have made as gifts. I realized that there are some wallhangings that I never took photos of unfortuantely.

 Taylor and I made this triangle quilt for my mom for her 80th birthday. Taylor picked the design and we both sewed! If you look closely you can see the matching pillow my mom is holding.


This is a quilt I made for my mother-in-law when she moved into her new condo. It is so simple but it is one of my very favourites.

 I made this twin size quilt for a friend who was ill, she lived out of town and I wasn't able to visit her during her illness and wanted it to be like a big warm hug. I used some of the scraps from my mother-in-law's quilt.


I made this lap quilt for a friend who was having chemo, she was able to take it with her for her treatments.

 This quilt was made from Amy Butler fabrics I purchased in Vancouver, It became named the Amy quilt. I took this photo on my bed when it was completed. It wasn't intended to be a gift quilt, but my daughter saw liked it and asked if she could have it. So this is how it looks on her bed. Barry and I made the headboard for her bed this spring.



 I made this wall hanging for my friend Mona a couple of Christmases ago. Two of the purses have have vintage rinestone pins on them that she can wear.


These are two beautiful wallhangings that Mona has made as gifts for me.

What it says is very true!

I love teapots so this was a perfect gift. Mona crocheted the lace doilies.

I made this little wallhanging for my niece when she got married New Year's eve. Her theme was wintery outdoors, including birch trees.
