Quilts and quilting were not a tradition in the family I grew up in, so when my own first child came along, I was rather overwhelmed by the quilts that appeared from my husband’s side of the family.  It was a tradition I instantly took to heart!  Each blanket was not only beautiful, but useful, cozy and personalized.  I adore each and every one of them, and even now that the kiddos are in grade school, we use and admire them often.

Only a few years after my son was born, I was ready to try making my own for friends and relatives.  What I discovered was that gifting baby quilts was even more fun than receiving them.  I cherish the stories I hear back about the little ones adopting the blankets I have made as favorite lovies.  One special young friend took her baby quilt with her to Kindergarten for rest time.

That’s my story, and what has led me to build this site.  Stay and share your stories!
