This quilt is my own design inspired by some photos the mom sent me.
I used my Silhouette to cut these applique pieces. However, my Silhouette is super old (maybe 10 years) and was never meant to cut fabric. It kind of stopped working mid-way through this keyboard and I wound up doing a lot of it by hand.
The rest of the shapes worked well, but I do think it might be time to retire the Silhouette until I can replace it with a new model.
I considered putting a cassette tap on here as well, but I figured the record would be enough explaining for mom and dad! Haha!
My favorite part of this quilt I think is the music striped binding!
This is the first quilt that I forgot to put my label on the back! I realized it after I had sewed the binding on, however, I had packed up my sewing room for Christmas and couldn't even sew a label together to hand sew on there!
Along with the quilt, I made a matching stocking. I used Amanda Murphy's Modern Holiday book for the pattern. The name is hand stitched by transferring the name on the cream fabric and stitching on top of that.
She also asked for 2 pillows. I made one that links to the quilt with this little guitar.
The other links to the stocking which of course they both use quilt fabrics!
I hope the whole family loves these and that baby boy Ryan arrives safe and sound! What a wonderful new years gift.
