Other 2013 Sewing

    Here are most of the other things I made in 2013. I am sure there are a few missing, since I sometimes forget to take photos before giving the items I make as gifts.

Meanwhile, I am making slow progress on my Torah Stitch by Stitch project.....

Handmade Luggage Tags for friends

Fun and simple to make.

I really enjoyed making the customized styles with college and sorority logos.

So far the ones I have made for our family have held up through several trips, so I guess they are sturdy enough to withstand the abuse of airline baggage handlers!

Quilts for twins

These two twin quilts were finished just before Christmas, and just a bit late for Chanukah. I made them for the twin sons of a very old, very close friend of Scott's. The boys are now 6, and they were surprised and pleased with these bright new quilts! They each measure about 60x70 inches.

Quilts finished in 2013

I made 13 quilts last year-not bad for a year's work! I am amazed that I am able to finish about 1 per month-when I am working on them it seems to me I am much slower than that pace implies.

Jake's Quilt

  I have finally completed a quilt for the son of very close friends. His sister has had one for two years, and I felt bad for not making something for him, too. He plays soccer and baseball, hence the sports theme of this quilt.
  Sewing for older boys can be tricky. My goal is to make something that is interesting but not too pretty.
  This quilt measures approximately 65 x 84.

  Just for fun, here is the one I made for his sister. I love this pattern, the Giant Vintage Star Quilt Tutorial, from In Color Order . Simple to make, with striking results. Approx. 64 x 64. I used the same tutorial to make the Smith College quilt that I blogged about previously.
