#quilt 5 for the summer. Another of my favorite baby quilts. The baby is due in September. Feeling Crabby by Wendy Sheppard. I modified the quilt to a smaller size (3 blocks by 4 blocks) and I “rounded” the crab balls with triangle corners.

#quilt 2 for the summer. In the book “Quilts for Katie Rose” by Marsha McCloskey. I have posted this same pattern before. It is my favorite baby quilt. I have made it around 15 times. My wife has dibs on this one for a colleague and his new baby!

I finished my first #quilt of the summer. Elizabeth Hartman “Show and Tell” pattern. I purchased the recommended animal and background fabrics but I made the mini-quilts from my stash.

I finished my sweater for the year. Pretty simple pattern but I learned some new techniques. #knitting

I saw the Wooly Stars patten at a shop this year (www.etsy.com/listing/1150...) and knew I wanted to make a baby #quilt. I made one of the sheep black and facing left. Turned out just how I wanted!

I am a teacher and only #quilt in the summers. Here is my first quilt of the summer! A friend wanted a peachy pink quilt for her queen sized bed.

After contemplating, I decided to shorten my new sweater. It was a top down #knitting project so pretty easy to do. Here is the new result:

I choose not to quilt during the school year (I am a math professor and if I have a choice to grade papers or quilt, well…you know!). So this was my winter project.

#quilt from 2012. The embroidery in the middle took a looooong time. This is the only quilt I have ever sent out to be machine quilted on a long arm. We thought the music notes were wrong so we fixed a couple!

Do you have a go to baby #quilt pattern? This is my favorite one but it takes a while. Complete with cute baby (friend’s) who is now a petulant teenager.

I wear #mathteacher shirts at the end of the semester. Students seem to love them! I know I do. Yesterday’s shirt is on the left and today’s is on the right. #quilt

This is an old picture (2016) of an old Christmas #quilt (about 2003). ‘Tis the season!

Full picture of the front and back of my office #quilt. I love the way the back looks.

I am going to start my Bluesky posts with my favorite geometric quilt. #quilt #quilting
