In a rush, and due to never-ending rain, I was forced to take pictures inside. Not only that, I really had to get creative with how I positioned the quilts. My apologies for poor photography.
These two quilts were commissioned for two boys as Christmas gifts from their aunt. The requirements were
very general. I was instructed to simply make them "bigger than the baby sized ones." : ) I hope the boys are happy and enjoy these snuggly goodies. May they last a very long time!

Pendleton Woolen Mills create gorgeous Native American inspired items: blankets, rugs, handbags. My quilt uses a traditional American quilt pattern, but the colors hopefully reflect more of that Pendleton look. I even used all flannel to recreate the soft woolen texture.

| The Young Professional |
The Young Professional quilt is a series of ten zigzags using fabrics that represent a sophisticated wardrobe and typical commuting life. There is a city scene and a print of cars for one's commute. Then the rest of the fabrics act as solids to show off like they are either classy handkerchief or tie prints.
The back has a very fun flannel accent of mustaches. Bordered by fine, black and white zigzags and a small strip of white at the bottom. (I had considered appliqueing a mustache there....) |
