Neil and Yvonne took William for his first haircut yesterday.

Here is the one I finished.
The back doesnt show the quilting much, you have to enlarge it to see.
And this baby quilt is what Steve did today. I think it is adorable.

I don’t know the name of this quilt pattern, only that the fabric is by Paula Nadelstern. This is a custom quilt job. Difficult to see the quilting…. the fabric is busy. Have to stay off certain areas where the client will be adding beads. Trickier than the standard fare in our shop.

This is a very simple wholecloth that I worked on this week. I really did it as an experiment, thinking it would be nice to have a fairly quick project that looks good that I could sell. I have no idea if anyone would want to buy such a thing though. This one is for [...]
