Seasonal Skinnies

I've been so anxious to show you these four little "Skinnies" from Quiltmaker Magazine!  In January our son "hinted" that his lovely bride would like me to make some seasonal wall hangings for their new home for her birthday.  My first thought was this series from 2013 by Margie Ullery.  The fabrics for the Spring Skinnie had been pulled and put in a bag with the magazine a couple of years ago.  I never found the motivation to make it for myself.  But when I could make it for a gift, I went right to work!  They've been finished for a month, but I couldn't share until they were gifted.  So, Happy Birthday to our dear daughter-in-law!

 Our son also asked if I would make him a heavy denim quilt for the end of their bed.  So, I guess you'll be seeing that when his birthday rolls around.  I love that he asks me to make quilts for them because I enjoy doing it, and I know they are appreciated.  What a great kid!  

While I'm bragging about him, could I mention that he made his first quilt in 3rd grade, and his second in 6th grade?  A couple of weeks ago he needed to hem a pair of pants for his karate class.  Instead of bringing them to me, he asked me how to do it, then pulled his wife's sewing machine out of the box and hemmed the pants himself.  That's the way to make your mother proud! lol
