This is a baby quilt I made for my great-niece, Olivia. It is
machine pieced, machine appliqued, machine embroidered (her name), and
machine quilted. I got the Pooh character designs from a Decoupage
book from
Hot Off the Press, Inc. that I purchased
several years ago. The quilt was a "design-as-you-go" project. I had
no idea when I started it how I wanted it to look when it was
finished. Other than the fabric for the Pooh characters, I tried to
use fabric from my stash. I did have to purchase more for the backing,
though.
Olivia was born in February 2008, and the quilt wasn't completed
until August of 2008. My parents presented her with the quilt a short
time after that. I haven't had the privilege of meeting Oliva yet, but
I hope she will enjoy her quilt for many years to come.
