A quilt for room and board?

This is a quilt I made for the host that billeted our daughter during a soccer tournament on Newfoundland island.  It is a Thimbleberries pattern that I made in Labrador colours.

CHILDREN'S FLANNEL RAG QUILTS

These are my first attempts at rag quilts.  Since I wanted to see how quickly one could be made I decided to use a single, but busy flannel fabric for each of my granddaughter's and grandson's quilts.  I chose flannel so they would be soft.

I was quite surprised how much fabric it took to make the quilts.  And oh boy, it took forever to snip them after they were sewn.  A day to sew and a day to snip.

 But they are nice and thick and wonderfully soft.  The kids love to cuddle with them.

QUILTING BY THE LIGHT OF THE MOON Mini Exchange Quilt

Here is a little quilt I made for ALQS7 this past fall, an online quilt swapping blog.  It found a new home with a quilter in Nova Scotia.  I couldn't be more thrilled as that is where I am from.

Since it was an international swap I wanted to make it quintessentially Canadian.  What's more Canadian than canoes and snow.  I designed quilting cabin in the mountains where by one can quilt by the light of silver moonbeams cast by a canoe shaped moon.  One can just imagine a quilter inside the cabin with the light on.

Rather than making a plain backing, I used up three heart strips that were in my scrap box stash of quilted things and fabric that hope some day to make it into a project.
