meg_marsh Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 This is for a little guy who was born last night - I finished it 2 days ago - just on time. Had been practicing pantos like crazy so I could get this done and I think it came out just fine. Also, finally put a label together. Hope fusing it on rather than tacking it on works over the long haul. The panto is "Splash". [/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primitive1 Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 What a cute Quilt! Someone once told me that they like to add the label before it is quilted so that it doesn't come off with washing, etc... I always forget to do that to my own quilts..oh well..

kimmiequilts Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Cute quilt Meg, you did a great job with the quilting! That looks like a fun Panto. Just a suggestion, especially for a childs quilt, you could sew the label on the back before you quilt it and then the label is part of the quilt and well sewn on! I just love when I actually have time to do this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bekah Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Oh Meg, that is such a darling quilt. You did an awesome job with the attic windows and the panto is perfect. You are doing such a good job with your quilting can hardly wait to meet you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffq-lar Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 This is a wonderful quilt--love the panto which is perfect for the beach-y theme! Great job, Meg. See you at Innovations!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meg_marsh Posted September 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Yeah - I should put the labels on first - but alway forget. Plus I am such a stickler about placement and not sure if I could get the placement just right. What I really should do is line the label with fusible, tack down and then actually fuse. I am sure the label would stay on then. Talked to new grandma today. New mom and Zander (the little guys name) are doing well. Had a home birth and all went well though I can tell you that grandma was a wreck just thinking about the baby being born at home. Mom had decorated Zander's room around the sock monkeys including polka dots on one wall, crib is black, changing table red, and walls pale yellow. This quilt should fit in perfectly. Also made a little pillow case (no pictures) that is reversible - stripes when turned one way and the beach panel when turned inside out. It turned out really cute. Had actually made a different quilt first, but then because mom really wanted the sock monkeys - made the 2nd quilt. Will give the other quilt to a different couple with a new baby - haven't finished the other quilt - maybe next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobette Miller Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 It is so cute. If I could figure out how to send a picture I would show you my Sock Monkey I just put together. Meg: I would like to know how you made your label? Thanks Bobette Miller Paradise, CA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meg_marsh Posted September 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 Bobette, Made a basic label layout in my machine embroidery program. Then with each quilt, I will just have to change the name and washing instructions if necessary - oh, and the year occasionally. It embroiders out in about 10+ minutes. Used double sided fusible and finally cut it out using the rotary cutter with the pinking shears type blade. Pretty quick and easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renae Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 Meg, that baby quilt is sooooooo cute. And you did a great job with the panto and I like the Attic windows.

Just Sew Simple Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 Hey, Meg, my student who just passed away collected Sock Monkeys. She had hundreds. They all were dressed differently; some were boys and some girls. Some didn't have tales and one was large enough to wear human clothing. She had sock monkey pajamas and sheets and everything. Her room was adorable. One of her quilts was quilted with a sock monkey panto. Zander's room is going to be adorable too. Your quilt is just soooo cute. :P:P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
