stitched by roma

 there was a great family gathering o's just recently
as noted in 'navigating' t'was in the poconos in pa

that meant Oscar had the chance to play with his international cousins

roma - the name my mum gave herself
to be called by her grandchildren!

well roma ... came to me a few months ago

"I would like to make flicka, huddy & ity
a quilt each ...

so they can be wrapped up in my cuddles when i am not with them

lovely idea isn't it

kind of stems from the Prayers & Squares aethetic

a patchwork quilt ministry that my mum is very invested in
so she planned each one to suit personality & age
 &
here they are
the moment they were given
special labels from a special roma

 let me show you each quilt ...

 

this babuska quilt is for flicka

she is now at school & 

is such a sparkly chirpy little mother-hen

great way to use this fabulous fabric hey!

its from suzy ultman's range little kukla byrobert kaufman

there'd be some machine & hand quilting stitching done on these quilts

... with some help from me
as you know i love the tactile nature of
little stitches

 these bright blue & greens triangles

are for huddy who is 4 ....

love this fabric range too
its bungle jungle by moda

by tim & beck 
roma used this quilt design

 equilateral triangles

not easy to piece perfectly but she's done it

here he is playing with his quilt like a cubby house

 we have a bit of a thing for bunnies in my family

roma gave each of her grandchildren a special bunny when they were born

Oscar's has been so well loved that we actually now have a few

as the first one needed severe surgery!
i had one a long time back too ...

 this 3rd quilt is for 'ity' who is 3

an extraordinary amount of work in this one

the quilt design is by the red boot quilt company

the bunnies are all machine appliqued

she decided to use lots of flowery fabrics in between
instead of appliqueing flowers as well
good solution i think

& their faces

take a close look

done on her fancy janome

love the quirky faces & those glasses!
cool huh?

love the response ity has in this pic
sweet to see her curled up with all that time care  & love
hasn't roma done an amazing job

round of appluase for you mum/roma!
