Mom's Birthday Quilt

 I made this lap-size scrappy quilt for my Mom's birthday.  It is a Judy Martin pattern, except I reconfigured the blocks.  I quilted it using my Singer Featherweight sewing machine.  I had to cover the feed-dogs with a piece of plastic.  It was my first attempt at free motion quilting. 
This is the label for Mom's quilt.  I embroidered it using a different sewing machine by moving the quilt under the machine with a straight stitch.

Aidan's Scarecrow Quilt

Aidan's Scarecrow Quilt
This quilt was made for Aidan's 2nd birthday.  It is flannel. The center of the quilt is a panel, and the border is pieced.  I used my antique Singer hand-crank sewing machine to do the piecing on the border. 

It's is cozy and soft.  Julie loves it for a lap quilt.
