My good friend of many years just recently gave a baby shower for her daughter Kelly. Kelly’s first baby is due in October. I met Pam when Kelly was a year old and my daughter Sarah was a newborn and we lived in the same apartment building. It is hard to believe Pam’s baby is having a baby!
I wanted to make Pam’s first grandchild a special quilt. Knowing that the new baby will be a boy, I chose to make a string quilt in a combination of blues and greens.
I have made string quilts before from scraps and was very pleased with the results. This time however, I used a soft blue foundation block and used fat quarters of greens and blues. For the quilting I did “stitch in the ditch”. I plan to start another string quilt in my other favorite color combination of pinks and yellows.
Pam and I are avid crafters and have collaborated on many projects from knitting and crocheting to quilting and beading. Please take a look at her beautiful jewelry in her etsy shop.

I am forwarding this to Kelly right now. Sorry I didn’t see if before, Kelly was very thankful that you took the time to make a quilt for her, right now it is hanging on the wall in the baby’s bedroom!

We received a beautiful quilt from Marion when our daughter was born. The color selection and craftmanship is amazing…So many people have asked me where we bought it, I am happy that I can now direct them to this site!
It was truly such a special, personalized, and on-of-a-kind gift…one that will grow with her over the years. Definitely one of the most thoughtful we received. I highly recommend Marion’s work.

I am the Kelly mentioned. The quilt is absolutely beautiful and completely unexpected. I was so touched that Marion made and personalized it just for my son.

I absolutely love all of Marion’s quilts. They kept me warm all winter long and each one is unique from the other. I look forward to the quilt she will be making for Kevin’s apartment because his new home is not complete without a quilt from Marion.
