Emma the Quilter
Emma has been so ready to make a quilt, and she decided she wanted to make one for Erica’s new baby. It was a great idea because this is her first girl after having two boys already. I told Emma that the nursery room colors were pink and green so she picked a brightly colored flower pattern from my stash and we matched some other fabrics to it. I have seen striped quilts gaining popularity and love the simplicity of the design, especially for a beginner. We cut the strips together, and she worked the foot pedal while I helped her keep the fabric lined up. It was such a fun mother daughter project, and about the right size, because by the time we got to backing it she was happy to let me finish it off on my own. We sent it to Erica for her birthday, and have heard that it adds a nice punch of color to the crib. We can’t wait to hear that baby “Amelia” (that’s what I like to call her) arrives safe and sound. Erica is pretty ready to meet her too by now I’m sure!
Great Job Emma Beautiful Quilt. I know she will LOVE it.
It’s gorgeous Emma, I love it! It’s great that you were able to do such a fun project with your Mom! And how fun for Erica, another sweet little baby on the way! Keep us updated so we know when your new niece arrives!
I love using baby quilts that are made extra special because someone made it for my baby. Great job, Emma. I’m sure it will be cherished.
Emma great job, Are you going to make another one?
Another up and coming seamstress in the family.
A lot of great projects ahead and a great age to start.
Good for you Emma!
Emma,
Great job! I love your quilt. I can’t wait to see it in person when I go to aunt Erica’s house. It is awesome! It will be great when we can get together and quilt. I have some great patterns. I love you!!!!
