New Quilt Photos
Not only am I behind on my quilting, I’m also behind on posting pictures of my quilts. I’m currently working on a quilt for a baby who has already been born. I expect it to be done before she heads off to college… if she gets kept back a few times.
Luckily, being behind on posting pictures is a lot easier to rectify.
Here is the jungle quilt that I made for my friend Jeff’s son, Nathan:
Jeff and his wife love monkeys, so I made sure to feature them prominently:
My grandmother, who taught me to quilt, loves giraffes. I was psyched to be able to include them as well:
I was able to find matching flannel for the back of the quilt. Soft and coordinating. Score:
This next quilt was for a friend who had her daughter, erm, last November. In my defense, I decided to make her a quilt several months after the fact. I wasn’t making baby quilts when she had her baby, but once I started making them I realized that she would have been on the list. So, I made her one to use for tummy time. I just love the Paddington fabric that I found!
Note to self, iron quilts before photographing:
The Paddington boots just might be my favorite fabric of all time:
Cute and educational:
The number blocks didn’t form the right shape (it would have been too skinny with two columns of five), so I added a column of appliqued letters:
I think that it’s a good sign that every quilt that I’m working becomes my favorite as I’m making it. Hopefully, I’ll have new photos to post soon!
OMG so cute! I really wish I could quilt – these are adorable!
Hello Hopers,
I saw your comments about Dog Meets World on Lacey’s blog – Perks of being a JAP. Thanks so much for the kind words about our new effort to give photographs to the children of the world. The big push now is to attract participants (aka Phodographers) – anyone who travels in developing world for any reason and supporters – anyone who values photographs in their lives. Please help us spread the word (tell your friends/family, blog about it, become a fan on facebook, etc).
Please seriously consider making a $30 donation! You will get a Foto dog of your own and the project will become real for you. It’s an adorable dog to show others about DMW or give as a gift with meaning or use when you become a phodographer!
If you would like to get involved in anyway or learn more about how to become a Phodographer, please email carolyn@dogmeetsworld.org
Thanks for seeing the big picture in the little picture!

Oh my God! That is awesome! I need to learn how to quilt one of these days.
Both of those are adorable, but I really love the Paddington one. It’s too cute!
I really admire people that can quilt, the patience to get it to completion is impressive enough, but how beautiful they came out is even better. I love the Paddington one too!
Nathan loves his quilt…he thinks it’s the BEST QUILT EVER!
He uses it all the time when he’s playing on his rainforest playset and looks forward to sleeping under it when he’s a little bit older. WhoooOO! Thanks Hope!
