Grand # 4's Baby Blanket

Pin It
 We have a new arrival on HIS way and Big Brother 
(Grand #3) is asking,
"Will he get a BB too?"
This may have more to do with sharing his  than worrying about brother......

Baby Boy Quilt in Blue, Yellow and Brown

Well, Grand #4 is getting his own, and Grandma is JUST about finished. I'm sorry but I didn't picture the process, I'm a bit on over drive.
Baby Boy Quilt in Blue, Yellow and Brown

It's a classic pattern and has great color. This quilt is really about the color of the paisley brown working with the other colors in the quilt. I love this paisley and wanted to use it.
Baby Boy Quilt in Blue, Yellow and Brown

The quilt backing is the color of the yellow - tan strips with strips pieced in from brothers new BB he received for Christmas.

Let's see if he notices.  I"m betting he does !

Santa Quilt for The Holidays

Pin It


This is one of the very first quilt blocks I ever drafted by myself.

Santa Quilt for The Holidays

I made it long, so that a number of people can curl up on the couch and use the same quilt. Nothing better with someone you love !


Santa Quilt for The Holidays

It's a very simple block, machine pieced and long-arm quilted.

Santa Quilt for The Holidays

This quilt is 20 plus years old, machine washed and put in the dryer every year.

Even back then I loved Paisley !

Removing a Stain from an Old Quilt

Pin It
Even when you do everything right,  this is what can happen. This is one of my old garage sale finds and one of the first quilts I get out when we have a chill in the air.
Removing a Stain from an Old Quilt
To my surprise, this is what I unfolded and found.   I think this quilt was $20 at a garage sale, the outside border was a mess and I cut that all off and put new binding on it and it's been used and washed for 10 years plus.  I store it in acid free tissue and then in a white 100% cotton pillowcase, like them all.   So, I figured I'd see if I could fix it.


Removing a Stain from an Old Quilt

I made a paste of liquid laundry detergent and non-chlorine all fabric bleach. I know some of you just gasped, but I know me and if it was there, it would drive me NUTS.  Laying it out on the kitchen counter, I wet the section, and working in my mixture, and let it set for some time. Rinsed it well and washed it on gentle and the pictures are the quilt drying on the clothes line.


Removing a Stain from an Old Quilt

The side with the stain was in the full sun for the day and as you can see, it looks wonderful. bethanndoing.com


Removing a Stain from an Old Quilt

I would say the quilt is from the 50's, machine pieced and hand quilted wonderfully, at the writing of this, I'm at the computer and it's over my lap, I have an old friend back with me.

Two Color Quilt - Yellows and White

Simple and perfect, I love color and this one has turned out even better than I envisioned.

Two Color Quilt - Yellows and White

The corners are something I've never done before, adding interest to the outside border.

Two Color Quilt - Yellows and White
 The Quilt back, This quilt is hand drafted, machine pieced and I'm adding it to the hand quilt pile, which is huge. I heard once, from a national teacher, "That's what I'll do in retirement."  My plan, I have to get a new machine and learn to machine quilt ! Or win the lottery and get my own, long arm??? WOW, I need another project........?????
