I have posted about this quilt before, but it is a favorite of mine.
It is from the book Critters Dancin' in the moonlight.
I started it when Jared and Sarah were expecting Lucas. I think I started in the winter and he was born in June. I started with the barn panel thinking if I didn't think I could hand applique the whole thing I at least wanted the farm panel.
I keep going and got it done!!!
I quilted it myself on my almost 40 year old machine it is a Good Housekeeper has anyone heard of that brand? I always say it's the only good housekeeper that lives here LOL.
It was a labor of love.
This one is Regan's our youngest grandchild.
Same book only I embroider the animals and colored them in. I set with an iron.
I didn't quilt this one. I wanted it done just like the one in the book.
same pattern 2 different ways:)
I love them both. Regan's hang above his crib in his John Deere room.

A true show of love is in both quilts!
What a fantastic job you did with this quilt. It's a true treasure for that special little one!
both are darling quilts--lots and lots and lots of work!!! lucky children to have them. thanks for sharing and have a great day
Those are both too cute - I'll bet the kids love them! A labor of love is right, but those animals are just darling. I just might have to look for this book...just in case. I'm a newbie appliquer (is that even a word?), but I imagine I might have it figured out after working on this quilt.
