DD made this for the Keepsake Quilt Kids challenge a few years back.

DS1 made this last year using the glue resist technique. his goal was to make a dragon, but Mom, like an idjit, suggested it would look better with scales. All of a sudden it looked more aquatic.LOL He did all of his own quilting on it. Not bad for a 6 year old! He about burst his buttons to be the youngest person to have a quilt on display at the last quilt show. LOL

DS1 had a lot of bad dreams. He thought maybe having a dragon to watch over him would help chase them away, so we made this. It seems to help.

Horsin' Around

This is all Horse prints with a fun red 'barbed wire' print for the sashing. There are 2 applique blocks. It too DD and I about 2 years to collect fat quartes of horse prints so we could make it. Her Baby brother thought it was pretty cool when we finished it. :D

Little Monsters

This is the quilt I made for DS1 to go on the kids' brand new bunk beds (See Carosel Horse for the full story). I loved the little monsters on the print, but didn't know exactly what I wanted to do with it when I bought it. I ended up with a 4" strip left over when I was done making the top...talk about cutting it close!

I made this for DD when we moved to a new house. The kids ended up having to share a bedroom, so I commisioned a friend to make them bunkbeds. He's notoriously slow about finishing jobs, so to speed him up and make it fun, I bet him that I could finish two, custome designed, quilts to go on it before he could make the beds. I won...with 3 days to spare. LOL
