Quilts for Sale!

This is not your typical blog post.  We're moving and I have some little quilts that we won't be using in our new place, so I'm hoping someone else might love to have them!

Everything on this page is $20 each + $5 to defray domestic shipping costs, so $25 total.  I'm going to number each item and describe it fully.  The first person to email me at nicciwestbrook -{at}- gmail to claim a given number will get the quilt(s)!  I'll reply with payment details.  I'm busy packing, so I might not respond immediately, but I'll respond in the order in which I receive email requests and will update this page as things sell.

1. SOLD!  This is a table runner or wall hanging measuring 58" x 12" We had it hanging above our front door for a while. Super bright colors, really cheerful! The backing shows the wrong side of the fabric for a muted, linen-like effect. Completed 2019.


2. SOLD!  This is three for the price of one since these little Dresden plates are not bound! They do have a backing fabric as shown in the second picture. They could easily be framed and hung on a wall to hide the unfinished edges or they could be sewn into pillow covers if you want to. They each measure about 22" square.


3. This is a plain Jane table runner, no piecing, just single fabrics on front and back with some diagonal quilting. Simple! It measures 41 1/2" x 15 1/2". Completed 2015.


4. This is a finished pillow cover for a pillow insert measuring 24" square (a size that is easy to find at IKEA.) It has a patchwork background featuring Moomin fabrics with an applique moose head on top. Completed 2014.


5. SOLD!  This is a finished pillow cover for a pillow insert measuring 18" square (a size that is easy to find at IKEA.) It has a pieced starburst background with bunny applique. Completed 2014.


6. SOLD!  I saved the best for last! It's a table runner or wall hanging measuring 66" x 17". It's curved piecing with custom free-motion quilting with some really cute fabrics. Completed 2017.

Molly's First Beach

We recently had an opportunity to take our Molly to the beach.  It's a rare treat since she is dog and human reactive and borks her head off at basically anyone she sees.  We've been trying hard to travel more with her, not necessarily to expose her to people and dogs more often, but just for enrichment.  Lately, we've been on a somewhat bonkers sleep schedule and with Daylight Saving Time, we knew we'd have an opportunity to get her out to the beach before anyone else was likely to be out there.

Did I mention it was early?

The first early morning walk went so well, we thought we'd take both Norman and Molly to the beach on the second morning.

But don't feel bad for Normy-B just because Molly got a lot of special attention on this trip.

He had plenty of fun.

He was even allowed beach-y fun during actual daylight hours!

You may not be able to tell from this post so far, but there were actual humans along on this trip as well.

We did stuff and ate stuff or whatever.

But mostly we just spent our time making sure the dogs were completely spent.

They slept four straight days when we got home.
