i hear elephants have funerals

so for baby rosalie i decided to make an elephant instead of a quilt.

she complained a little but you know babies can't always get their way.

also, you can't see them but this elephant has cute pink heart eyes which if swallowed by a baby shouldn't cause too many problems.

tiger tiger.

burning bright.
i think this this is maybe my favorite fabric ever.
maybe.

covers for cover

rainbow quilt!

valentine patch.

this quilt actually has two fronts. which is fun. but hard to quilt i wasnt sure which side to cater to if you know what i mean (and you probably dont).

there are iron ons on the tan patch. see (and you probably don't).

i didnt actually bind so i left it naked and i sort of like it. its my favorite binding yet.

i cant believe how much i like this binding (and you probably dont).

it was like taffy

so i had this idea for a quilt. it involved sewing strips together then cutting those strips and sewing those together and then it would more or less be squares. i might have repeated the process a third time. anyway, here is the result. what i learned from this is that you should probably use a wider variety of fabric than say i used. i would recommend at least ten different colors.

you cant see this but i bound it with a flower stitch. which is cute. really it looks like an oversized place mat so i think its pretty versatile.

my quilts are getting smaller and smaller and someday will probably just be napkins. speaking of place settings.

i heard that its all a coverup

so i have been marginally busy lately so i havent been posting as i should.

here are the last two quilts i have made...one is for teresa for her birthday. i realized i sewed the soft side on the inside and it resulted in a christmas fight with me and my mom. however, that was the only fight on christmas so i am going to go ahead and count that as a holiday success. it will just haunt me forever. (i wish my mom read this and felt marginally guilty but she doesnt so i will have to try other passive aggressive ways to communicate with her).

this was the quilt i imagined would be all stripes.

and this one is baby welkerjensons quilt. i made it sort of small. which seems like a terrible idea reflecting on the heights of her parents...baby welkerjenson i apologize in advance if this quilt doesnt cover your toes.

and baby welkerjenson i hope you like purple and pink and the feminist movement.

songs of soloman

i cant be sure but i think this baby quilt could double as a beach towel. i, personally dont like beaches, but maybe the baby does.

its just not fair

this quilt is really wrinkled but i can't be bothered to iron it just imagine it unwrinkled. actually i did iron it to submit it to the state fair. i made it for my friend tanya with all my extra time and fabric i had laying around.

my dad and i had a great debate on whether i should enter this quilt or the keep utah clean quilt which he likes a little more but then he decided this quilt looked like the desert and thought it was ok after all. then he asked if i have a job yet. still no.

close up of the wrinkles. i feel bad like im showing my quilts age or something. sorry quilt you will always look young to me.


i think the back reminds me of the four corners part of utah. i wished i would have thought of that to tell my dad.

(space intentionally left blank)

the best part of the fair was obviously not my quilt but the pigs and the boyz II men concert. but thanks to everyone who went to see it.
