I love to
make baby quilts for friends and family, and occasionally for
commissions. It is also a good format for trying out different
techniques, colour combinations, and interesting blocks.
Whether
the quilt will be handed down from child to child, or loved to bits, it
is a special gift to welcome a new baby with something hand-made with
love and care.
