Preemie Quilts

Reap What You Sew is a quilt group in Phoenix, AZ that makes quilts all year and distributes mostly to children's charities. These are some of the preemie quilts I made with donated materials. People are always giving me materials because they know I quilt for charity. I'm also known as the "queen of scraps" at RWYS.

Faith, A cloth doll

Linda — Sat, 08 Oct 2011 16:27:06 GMT

The pattern is from Create and Decorate. The doll's name is Faith and she originates from Ashtabula County, Ohio. There is a little poem that goes with her. Each time I make a Faith doll, I put a copy of the poem in the pocket of her apron. Usually if I have enough leftovers from a quilt that I give to a female friend or my granddaughters, on their next birthday or the next Christmas, they will receive a Faith doll. Most of us live in NE Ohio, which is where Ashtabula County is located. So these dolls have a special meaning, plus they match the quilts.

Scrappy Oopsie Daisy

This is an excellent pattern for using up scraps. I hand quilted this quilt. If I ever make it again, I will machine quilt. My fingers are still healing! I must say, however, I love the quilt!

This is a small wall hanging that is in my kitchen. It doesn't take long to make. It's all machine applique which is also the quilting.

Chuga Chuga Choo Choo

This was Joshua's Christmas gift. He loves Thomas and goes around saying "Chuga Chuga Choo Choo". All pieces are rotary cut and chain pieced. The quilt is machine quilted.
