Have you seen Laurie Wisbrun's new line of fabric for Robert Kaufman? It's so cute, and soooo boy. She sent me some fabric to play with and I came up with this fun quilt.
Have you seen Laurie Wisbrun's new line of fabric for Robert Kaufman? It's so cute, and soooo boy. She sent me some fabric to play with and I came up with this fun quilt.
Here's something I don't believe I have ever mentioned on my blog, I grew up on a farm--a real life working dairy farm. I loved my childhood, and find myself wishing my kids could experience the country way of life. It was the best. I associate pickups with farm life... I grew up riding in their beds, driving them before I was 16 and feeling like that was totally normal...and there was usually my dog, Scratches, riding in the pickup...but she was pretty lucky and often got to ride in the front seat.
I made 4 random blocks, and then sashed them with this great tweed fabric from Robert Kaufman. It gives the quilt so much texture, but is actually really soft. I imagine my own little boy driving his trucks and cars around the quilt, using the sashing as a road.
Isn't this truck the spitting image of the one on Laurie's fabric?
I backed the quilt in this green dot. I think it works perfectly.
here's the fun part, Laurie has sent along some extra fq bundles (6 total) for one of you! Leave a comment to be entered in the drawing. One entry per person. Please be sure I have an email address to contact you! Good luck!
I'll choose a winner on Sunday, June 5th.

ReplyDeletePick me me please. I want to make that quilt for my new grandson. He already has cars to match.
ReplyDeleteAdorable quilt! I loved growing up on a community style farm. My Husband also grew up in farm country. We wish we were able to raise our kids in a country setting. We are hoping that maybe we can treat our grandkids to the country life.

I so love this fabric. When I was a teenager I had an old mini I drove around the paddocks with my cocker spaniel sitting in the passenger seat. I think she would have drove if she could have.
ReplyDeleteWould love to win that fabric!
ReplyDeleteI was in love with that fabric the moment it came out. It would be perfect if I'd win because I have two little nephews who'd be over the moon if they had a quilt made of that super cute fabrics.
ReplyDeleteThank you,

ReplyDeleteLaurie sent me to your blog to admire your adorable quilt. I made a backpack for my little grandson using the pickups in red. I just adore this fabric line!! I would love to win the fat quarters to create more for my little guy. Thanks to you and Laurie.
ReplyDeleteI, too, grew up on a farm - a grain farm - and am so nostalgic about it. As they say, you can take the girl out of the farm but not the farm out of the girl.
ReplyDeleteFun quilt! I'd used this fabric to make a quilt for a little boy soon to be born to my nephew and his wife. It still strikes me as strange to know the baby's gender before it's born!
I love that you made roads on the quilt, what a great treat for a lucky little boy. He can play with it and then cuddle up with it for a nap!
ReplyDeletelove your quilt-so adorable for a boy, or girl!

ReplyDeleteI grew up on a farm, too! But I wasn't allowed to drive the pickup truck very often because I had a habit of wrecking autos. I was also banned from the riding mower for the same reason. I desperately wanted my own truck but have yet to realize that dream. Maybe a some of this fabric will help ease my truck itch for a little while... :)

I love the total randomness of your quilt. It is so perfect for that fabric. My secret wish is to grow up and live on a farm with chickens and a cow and lots of crops, maybe one day when I retire.

really different from my usual stash. It would be fun to play with these images.
ReplyDeleteI have two grown sons and there was definitely a lack of suitable boy fabric available while they were growing up! Now I have three grand nephews, the youngest just born last week and I would love to make all of them quilts based on this great line of fabric!!
