As promised yesterday, I have another quilt project to share, one that's been moved to the "done" column. There's a lot to cheer about at The Strawberry Patch! This is Lucy Ann's Picture Play Quilt, the pattern from Ami Simms' book by the same name. I posted a while ago about quilting this one with Nitelite glow-in-the-dark thread, one more fun element in this quilt full of little things to discover. "Funny Bunny, Bears and Honey" is bed-sized, she can cuddle up under it and have many sweet dreams for years to come; or, as pictured above, can spend hours on top of it playing, and finding objects to name, match, and describe. Loaded not only with hundreds of novelty fabrics but also photo transfers and fuzzy machine embroidered animals she'll be busy for a very long time! This fills my heart, this is why I make quilts. |

How sweet this is: a picture of you and Lucy Ann. O and the quilt is sweet too. You have been busy Mrs. G.
I smiled broadly when I saw the picture of you and Lucy Ann admiring her quilt. So glad you get to enjoy them ;-)
I love your picture play quilts!! They make such fun moments with the little grands. :-)
Love the striped binding and piping. How do you embroider a fuzzy animal? Special thread?? I know she loves it and will cherish it in the years to come since her Nana made it just for her
Totally fun! I love it!
Brilliant! You are very speedy with your work.
You are the best gramma!!! What an adorable quilt---and baby. :) I have fallen in love with the wienie dogs in sweaters fabric---oh, I just LOVE it!!
I'm sure this will be treasured for a lifetime. Looks so fun, I want to come play!!
And the best part is seeing the two of you inspecting the quilt-in-progress TOGETHER . . . wonderful!
My goodness, but you've been busy!! I had full intentions of spending the summer finishing projects.......but then I got sidetracked!!
Ah ha! I spy Spotty Dogs--guess I don't need to send you some after all! What a happy, happy quilt.
You put your heart and love into this quilt and it shows! The photo of you two together is precious. Lucky Lucy Ann to have a Grandma who loves her so!
Love the binding and piping, so good on that quilt. Well done.
What a priceless quilt! A lifetime quilt! Think of the generations that are going to adore this beauty!
