I personally expect 5 new babies in my life, at least tangentially. These little love bundles all need quilts. So here are 3 I made recently.

Two pillows done
Jack and the Beanstalk is now a pillow, about 12″x16″. It is hand embroidered, my own design, inspired by a book of fairy tales. This has an overlap opening on the back.
And I finished the Mermaid and Troubadour pillow, about 15″ by 16″. This is my favorite one. It has a side zipper.
Here are the backs. Jack has blue and green. Mermaid has lavender and multicolor.
New work
I have a new book for inspiration , Free Form Embroidery by Judith Baker Montano. So I started a new piece. It is raw edge appliqué, hand embroidery with thread, floss, cotton and wool. It’s a landscape, and I’m having fun doodling with my needle as I go, a good project to off the new year.
Pieced and embroidered pillows
This pillow is made of leftovers from a lap quilt. I love the fabrics of Kaffe Fassett. 71
Dreamland, A pillow made of my original designed embroidery of a fairy tale which features a turtle on the moon. I just haven’t yet made up the fairy tale. 72
Another of my designs for a fairy tale, a little mushroom house for a wee folk. This little pillow is number 73 for the year.
And I just cut some fabric to start a new fairy tale embroidery. I’m on a roll.
