Ninja Boy's Flannel Rag Quilt

I finished this quilt for the third born way back in November, but as you can see, I fail to get these things documented in a timely manner. lol
 Love that boy's smile!

We have fabric protecting, project supervising cats around here. 
Above is a better look at the color of the blanket.

He loves it, by the way. A special thanks  to my hubby for helping with all of the cutting of the edges.

Daughter's Sweet 16 Swoon Pattern Quilt is Finished!!

 I actually finished this a couple weeks ago, and she has been loving and enjoying it ever since. 
I am so proud of this. 
This quilt was made with lots of love piecing and quilting on my domestic machine. 
SWEET 16 SWOON QUILT 2017
Finished size 
81" X 81"



 She chose owls for the back! Very cute and whimsical.




Some close up looks at my quilting. I pre-designed my plan for each block, 
with only small subtle differences.
Swirls around the sashing and borders.

A close up of the quilting from the back.


She loves it!
I love her!

Sweet 16 Progress


The sashing has been now complete.
I decided to do this at home and not rent the long arm. 
I really wanted to do it all myself and save some money!



 Borders are on.
 Cute 'owly' backing is ready. 
 It's a sea of owls.
 Misi loves to be very involved with each quilt.
Here we go...quilting in the ditch first. So excited!!

More Machine Quilting Pictures From Niece's Quilt


Here are some extra photos of the quilt for my niece.
The first free motion design is a motif that I have designed myself. It works very well in the middle of the quilt block.



 Sorry about the finger..lol.



This was so fun to make and to work on my own free motion quilting at home. Loved it and improved tremendously.

Why MAGNANIMOUS?

Noah Webster's 1828 Dictionary of the American Language defines Magnanimity as such:
MAGNANIM'ITY, n. [L. magnanimitas; magnus, great, and animus, mind.] Greatness of mind; that elevation or dignity of soul, which encounters danger and trouble with tranquillity and firmness, which raises the possessor above revenge, and makes him delight in acts of benevolence, which makes him disdain injustice and meanness, and prompts him to sacrifice personal ease, interest and safety for the accomplishment of useful and noble objects.
