scrappy quilt for a friend

This is a quilt that I made for a friend.  I used a bunch of different squares that I had and sewed them together, and the quilting was done with a meander stitch throughout the quilt.  I used warm and natural 100% cotton batting in this quilt.  There is no border on the quilt.  It is one that I really enjoyed making.

About my quilts

All of my quilts are custom made.  They are constructed from the bottom up, meaning that you tell me what colors you want, what the theme is (for a baby or child's room), and what you envision.  If you have seen a quilt that you like and you can describe it for me, that is great.  If you have found a favorite quilt block or pattern that works also.  All the information you can give to me about your quilt just helps me make what you  really want.

The pricing for my quilts depends on a lot of things.  If you want a licensed fabric, like Dora, Winnie the Pooh, John Deere, etc. that will usually cost more than if you want just a tiny floral print.  Also, my quilts are not mass produced, each one is made by me, and each one is given the care and attention as if they were for my own family members.  Each quilt is made with love, and each one comes with a label, that I will custom make for you.

Quilting is something that I am very passionate about.  I love to do this and it makes me happy to be able to share this talent with other people.  My quilts are meant to be used and loved.  So many times someone gets a quilt and decides it is too pretty to use, and they store it away.  I love mine to be used and loved, and that is what I envision you will do with the quilts you buy from me.

Friend Amber's quilt

This is a quilt that I made for one of my best friends babies.  I made it 3 years ago, and my friend tells me that her little girl still uses it and loves it.  I used the pattern grandmother's favorite.  I did a free motion quilting around the frogs, and outline on the other blocks.  I did a heart design around the border.

Landon quilt

This is a quilt that I made for my great nephew.  I love this quilt and the theme of the room is a jungle theme. This is a four patch quilt and has a border of hearts quilted all the way around. The four patch squares are done with free motion quilting.

Hearts abound

I love hearts. They are so much fun to quilt.  This quilt was done by machine, and was for my first granddaughter.  I love this quilt, and I actually used my favorite colors in it.  The border is done with an open heart design.

Froggys galore quilt

This is a quilt that I made for one of my friends grandsons.  The quilt is handquilted and I used 80/20 batting.  The 80/20 batting is a cotton/poly blend batting, and gives the quilt a little bit of puffiness.  In the squares, every other one has a little heart in it, and then in the center panel I quilted around the froggys.  This is a quilt that the little boy has loved.  It measures 45 x 60 so is a great size for a crib, fits on a toddler bed, or makes a great lap quilt size for grown ups.  I can also do this one as a machine quilted quilt.  I did this before I started learning machine quilting.

Why I love quilting

I love to quilt.  For me, it is a great stress reliever and I love the looks on people's faces when they get one of my quilts.  I will be listing quilts on here that I have made.  I will gladly do custom quilt orders.  One of the things that you have to remember about having a custom quilt made is that you are getting high quality and it will be much better than what you can buy at Walmart or Target.  All of the quilts I make are made with love.  This is my passion.  If you have any questions about having a quilt made, please send me an email to kbruck2001@yahoo.com or kathyskwiltsandgifts@gmail.com.  I will be doing more than just quilts.  I will also do table runners, place mats and hot pads, so if you need a great gift, just let me know.


Thanks
