Project's completed for the Holidays!

I completed several projects this holiday season....these are just two of them. The others will post soon...I hope. My parents love their trailer and love camping so this vintage trailer fabric was perfect for them. I made this larger lap quilt for them to use in their trailer and camping adventures....and my sister is there in the pic too...modeling the apron I made her since she is learning how to cook...and every cook should have an apron!
This is the quilt I made for my new nephew Jake...(born 11-4-10) this was a tough quilt for me to make and finish. The minkie was very stretchy so it was hard to keep it straight. And the gal who quilted it for me mentioned it was tough too...so most likely I will not be making another...Jake has the one and only of this kind that I will ever make! His mom and dad are modeling it for me...this quilt is by far the warmest ever...working under it was making me break out in a massive sweat! But I am hoping he will enjoy laying on, under it and using it till its thread bare!!!(those are the best kind)

This is an up close of the vintage trailers on the quilt I made for my parents...its not a pre-done panel on the middle I just cut a panel out of a chunk of fabric...this one was fun to make...I used Kona Ash color on the backing...solid yet distinctive!

Oh Peris! I love love these... they bring so much joy to the recipient! You're so so good! Any chance I can I see Alyx's apron up close, too?
