Sunbonnet Sue Quilt with embellishments




This quilt is made with 100% scraps which for those of you who know me, know makes the project especially satisfying. I pride myself on being a 'frugal' artist. However, some things do cost money, and the embellishments on this quilt are not cheap. Total cost for lace, buttons, and applique was close to $30.00. However, that is a cheap price for a beautiful 'heirloom' baby quilt. My new daughter-in-law, Elisabeth, will enjoy this quilt, I'm sure! She is due Feb.18 and we are having a baby shower for her on Feb.1 at church.

Klaus's Musical Quilt Finished!


Well, it took a lot of stitching--but I finished Klaus's quilt while in Germany. I really wanted to stitch each key down which would have looked awesome, but I just didn't have the time. Instead I quilted the instruments, the white keys, and the bass and treble cleffs. I really like the look of that gold border--and it matched Klaus's livingroom which was a plus. I didn't know what his livingroom looked like. He really liked it and plans to hang it there.

Klaus is the second singer from the left and sings tenor for at least two symphony choirs.

Klaus played a special morning concert just for us. It was exquisite. He played a long piece from Mozart.

Here he is playing a Christian choral piece from Bach to witness to the neighbors on New Year's eve. He plays the trumpet in a church orchestra and another music school's orchestra along with his brother Hans, who plays many instruments too, but usually plays the tuba.
