Good Morning, Quilters and Baby-Lovers!

Henry’s Quilt has made it to the finish line!

Celebrate with me!  Henry’s Quilt is complete-binding and all!

Henry will be so happy!

He’s as cute as a button and he’s always happy!

This quilt is small enough for a toddler to tote–though my daughter, Nora, has decided it will hang in his room instead.

I’m sure you recognize a lot of the motifs from the Tuesday Tutorials!

I love to add as much personalization as possible…

We might as well–that’s one of the benefits of quilting our own quilts!

It’s so much fun to watch him grow each week…and wonder if he’ll like cars and trucks…

or dinosaurs…or pirates…or Spider Man…or turtles…or….

Hope YOUR day is filled with family and your quilts are filled with love!

  • The whole cloth quilt! It’s great to see how the themes can be combined. The border the rows, in beginning to “get” it. The only thing missing is grandmas house with a tiny sewing machine…lol bet this will not be his only qullt.

  • Betty

    Awesome quilt for an awesome baby!

  • Janet

    Nora must be thankful to have such a cute, happy baby full of smiles…mine were like that and I spent a lot of time talking to them and making them smile 😀 Best thing ever to see babies smile or laugh! I bet that does not change when they are grand babies! Henry’s quilt turned out fabulously. I love the personal embellishments.

  • Ann Lamy

  • Super cute quilt and I’m sure it looks stunning hanging in his room. I must confess, Henry is so absolutely adorable he could easily become a movie star/entertainment sensation. What a smile. Heartwarming. Enjoy!

  • Nora Jacobs

    AMAZING! LOVE IT! We are so lucky!

  • Muriel Butler

    This is so darling! You do such fantastic work and I thank you for sharing your talent with all of us. Question when you quilt with the different threads do you do the Motifs first and then the filler?

  • loosecannon2

    As always Lori, sharing your love & talent so graciously with all of your followers. True goodness of heart & soul; enjoy Henry & the things he will discover which become anew to those of us who Do Not Stop to Smell the Roses. Thank you for sharing Lori.

  • Lori Morton

    Gorgeous!! Such a Heart Memory you are giving to sweet Henry & his Family! Love it!! AWESOME job!!

  • Cindy

    Warmed my heart this morning with your blog. There is something so special about the love of a grandchild. My mom always said she should have had her grandchildren first! Loll

  • Henry is indeed is a cutie, I hope someday to be talented enough to make this for some great grandchildren

  • Karen

    Thank You for Sharing your handsome young man with us. Such a blessing to you and yours. He will enjoy his quilt and many more to come. What a motivation!!
    Good job on the quilting – thank you for sharing your talents also.

  • Kathy Appleby

    He’s a super cutie! As always, your quilting is amazingly flawless! Very cool wall hanging!

  • Carolyn

    What a wonderful keepsake!! What a beautiful little boy!! How blessed he is to have such a talented grandmother! God bless you both!!

  • Rebecca

    Beautiful! And the best part is, as he grows, he’ll know his loving grandma made it for him especially!

  • kaholly

    Just too sweet!

  • Gerry Casper

    Beautiful quilt! Grand Babies are the best!

  • That is just adorable and you make it look so easy!

  • Connie of Surprise

    The reward of making something for those you love is wonderful, this quilt will be treasured forever,

    Now, you have have prodded me to finish a few of my UFO’s and several new projects.

  • Andrea_R

    I *love* it! Also, those baby cheeks… 🙂

    Grandkids are the *best* thing ever I swear. Making quilts for grandkids comes in second. 😉

  • I LOVE this quilt!!! So awesome!! Thank you for sharing :^)

  • How absolutely ADORABLE!!! And for you to have incorporated so many of your motifs in it just makes it that much more special. Is the heavier quilting with a 12 wt thread or something else…and what is the weight of the thread on the background quilting? You are soooo inspiring!

  • lavonne

    perfect!!!!!!!!!!!

  • So cute! What a personalized gift for Henry!

  • What a wonderful design! And a stellar implementation! No wonder he’s so happy….he’s a lucky little boy to have you as his Grandma!!

  • Rebecca Shaffer

    I love the quilt. Henry is a lucky little boy.

  • Judy Chastain

    You are a true artist, Lori. Henry is a cutie, and I’m sure he will treasure that quilt forever. My grandson — he’s 20 now — really treasures the two quilts I’ve made him. I’ll start the mystery quilt along soon and hope I can become half as skilled as you are.

  • Liz Horgan

    That is gorgeous and so much fun! Henry looks like such a sweetheart!

  • Linda deVries

    Oh. What a beautiful baby. Enjoy you time with him

  • Henry is adorable, and so is the quilt!

  • Just lovely, Mary Heard, Australian in France till mid July and missing my Bernina

    • Maureen B.

      Ooooooooo … France … Ooooooooo
      Provence? La Loire? The Drôme? Paris? Marseilles? Mint-Saint-Michel?
      I haven’t been in years, but would love to go back.

  • Carla

    This is such an incredible keepsake! Beautiful work. I love that you personalized the shop name, street sign, & trucks.

  • Lori, that’s brilliant. If I keep on doodling and practising your tutorials, I might never buy anything but Kona solids again. You have me hooked!

  • Tessa

    So, so cute! A gift of love for Henry to treasure forever. Well done Lori.

  • DebbieW

    Henry is such a cutie!! I like the quilt too ?
