A post for Christine.....


My cute little nephew arrived last week!

So glad I got this little monster finished up in time!!!

.

Here is my version of the "Don't Look Now" monster quilt. I reduced it down to a baby size quilt, and used a printed fabric for my color guide and outer border. My sister-in-law did her nursery up in brown and green, so I altered the colors to fit in with her decor. We had to add a few monsters of our own, but I think it turned out really cute.


I quilted it with my home machine.

I also double batted this quilt to make the dots really puffy.


Hands down to the master, Kellie.

I gave up on the dots, and Kellie... if you are reading,

you are the most patient woman on the planet....You ARE the master of DOTS!


It was a beautiful day in the mountains as we traveled to meet this much anticipated little one.

A fresh blanket of snow had covered everything just for our viewing pleasure.

I know it's March, and everyone is so sick of this weather,

but no one can deny the unmistakeable beauty of this little piece of heaven that I get to call home!


And now for the cutest part of this post.....

Meet JP!

Isn't he just a doll???

Two days old, and just as handsome as he can be.

Oh I miss my little babies.... now they fight with me to hold this little treasure,

and I have to share!

Life just doesn't seem fair sometimes.

Tori..... why did you have to move away?

Cori! Your quilt turned out beautifully! I wondered if you wouldn't be completely batty after appliqueing all those perfect little circles. I like your adaptation of Kellie's quilt a lot!
Congratulations on the beautiful new addition to your family!

The quilt is great, absolutely darling for little monster. Although he looks like an angel. What a sweetie.
