This was a really fun pattern, called "Playful" by Allison Harris, of Cluck Cluck Sew. I pieced it using a combination of Heather Ross "Tiger Lily" and scrap fabrics.

Last week was the start of the annual Hands2Help Charity Quilt Challenge at Sarah's Confessions of a Fabric Addict. This is the most amazing event each year and Sarah works very hard to make it a fun time for everyone, with tutorials, guest posters, giveaways and a big linky party at the end. There is still time to join in the fun, because it's really just getting started. Next Sunday is the kick off linky party where we get to share our favorite tips, tricks, and tasty treats. I hope to see you there!

My friend Susie, who you can visit at Susie's Sunroom, sent a special surprise for baby Eden. She made Eden a pillow with a nice big patchwork pocket across the front that can hold a favorite toy or book... and just to be sure, she also sent an adorable stuffed bunny and the book "Guess How Much I Love You". Eden's mom & dad Kait and Zak were so touched!

Is this the sweetest collection or what? You might have noticed that there is something extra in this photo too. A matching pincushion which Susie made just for me to have and remember. I have a feeling that it might also serve as a teddy bear pillow when Eden gets a little older. Thank you Susie!
More pictures of Eden? (I cannot resist)

An adorable grandchild and an adorable quilt! I can see why she wants you to make her another.
ReplyDeleteEden is adorable. She looks so cute on her quilt xx
ReplyDeleteWow! You made such a gorgeous, "scrappy"(?!!!!!), quilt Lara, Eden looks really sweet on it! So kind of Susie to make the cushion and rabbit for Eden, which I am sure Eden will love to play with as she grows, and a pin cushion keepsake for you! Such a wonderful idea! I'm off to read your links now, have a great week!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Barbara xx
Edan is such a cutie! Your quilt isn't too bad either, LOL, love the fabrics...and such a sweet gift from your friend.
ReplyDeleteThe quilt is beautiful as is your little Eden. Thanks for the smiles and the laugh when I got to the Jedi picture.
ReplyDeleteYup Eden is saying way to go grandma I love my quilt. She is getting cuter all the time! Oh and your photos are great btw.
ReplyDeleteShe is Seriously, THE most gorgegous little girl Lara!!I love brown and pink together and the little pinwheels in her quilt accent the cute fabric so well. H2H...always enjoy when this even comes around. :)(Sweet happy mail too)
ReplyDeleteSimple and sweet -- both the quilt AND the baby. Pinwheels add a lot of motion to a quilt.
ReplyDeleteBaby Eden will never guess how much she is loved by so many people! Susie showed me this sweet present and I think it is just awesome. I hope her parents will enjoy cuddling up to read with Eden, just as I did with my own boys. Your Playful quilt is so cute and will be yet another way to share love with your little sweetie. Enjoy!
ReplyDeletewhat a great post....and I loved your color choices for quilt for Eden...... thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt! You are the proud grandma and it shows!
ReplyDeleteThe quilt is beautiful but Eden is a joy. Thank you for sharing her adorable pictures.
ReplyDelete"Guess how much I love you" is a favorite book of mine to give at baby showers.
Hugs,
Preeti.

Playful Kittens is a wonderful quilt - and Eden really seems to know how much love and care you put into it for her. <3
ReplyDeleteI've been waiting for pictures of Eden and these didn't disappoint! She is so beautiful Lara, especially laying on her Lolli Quilt! Susie's gift is fab, you must have been so surprised! I love that she included the matching cushion as a momento for you - so sweet!
ReplyDeleteShe is adorable, Lara. I love all of her hair! The quilt is precious too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cutie! Eden's quilt is adorable too. I bet it is hard to get any sewing done when she is around :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and adorable! I love seeing quilts being used.
ReplyDeleteI also think Eden wants another quilt. She looks so happy with this one. It's gorgeous, with its combination of pink and brown. Soft and warm looking, with many interesting details. She's one happy girl, for sure.
ReplyDeleteThe gifts you've received are simply adorable. It was thoughtful to send you a matching pincushion. Before you mentioned that it's a pincushion, I thought it was a mini pillow. I also think this pincushion will have double duty. :-)
That quilt turned out so gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteOh! That bright, little face! Please share as many baby pics as you like. :-) The quilt you made looks so pretty (and cozy), and the bunny themed gifts are sweetly perfect.
ReplyDeleteYou may have the most photogenic little sweetheart of a grandbaby I have seen today!!!!! Oh my!!! I like the direction she is taking your blog ;) Check the copyright date of the Guess How Much book...I think it came out right around the time my first son was born...1996ish...or maybe it was just new parenthood made me think it was new...anyway...such a sweet and thoughtful bundle from Susie!!!! Oh, and your quilt is exactly as the name would suggest...Playful!!! xo!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Grandma! She looks like a sweet baby, with a sweet quilt to match.
ReplyDeleteEden's quilt turned out beautifully. Speaking of which, she's such a pretty baby. I especially love the last shot in the hoodie. What a smile!
ReplyDeleteEden is such a sweet and wonderful baby! Her little quilt is fantastic! I wish you a happy spring!
ReplyDeleteHer baby quilt looks beautiful, Lara, soft, pretty and playful, just like baby Eden! I love the last photo of her in the hoodie! That was so wonderful of Susie, such thoughtful gifts :)

Eden is truly beautiful and she is lucky to have all these wonderful hand made presents.
ReplyDeleteEden is a cutie!! I hope you've been having lots of snuggles.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cutie-pie little Eden is! And your quilt for her is adorable as well. I really like that pattern and the fabrics you used.
ReplyDeleteLove the last two photos - she is gorgeous! I love the tiger lily range and it makes for a perfect quilt for Eden!
ReplyDeleteHow could little Eden resist your gorgeous Playful Kittens quilt ? I love this pattern with the fabrics you chose!! Eden is just beautiful ... what fun you will be having when you make things for her!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love seeing her photos... sending out rays of sunshine and sweetness!!
Susie
What a cutie-patootie! Eden is such a bright-eyed aware little peanut isn't she? You rocked her first quilt Lara! I just LOVE it; I love how you made the 2-patch using rectangles to preserve the prints. And I love the budding Jedi photo. :-) Aren't quilting friends just the BEST?!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt for Eden turned out beautifully, but that little Squeeze Muffin is most adorable! I'm surprised her cheeks aren't all chapped from constant kisses. :) How nice that your quilting friend made the wonderful gifts for Eden.. and you!
ReplyDeleteThank you Barbara! She's definitely a joy!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt, and more importantly wee Eden, are absolutely lovely! I've been out of the loop. I am so happy she is here... safe and sound, happy and healthy.
ReplyDeleteHi Lara... it has been a while. So nice to stop by and visit you! Love your quilt. Perfect colors for a girl and the pattern is so fun. Your granddaughter is absolutely gorgeous. Congratulations!!!
ReplyDeleteEden is such a little cutie Lara and the quilt you made is adorable! What a precious gift from your friend Susie!!
ReplyDeleteOh Lara, Eden is gorgeous! I love the photo of her on her quilt: she looks so pleased with life.
ReplyDeleteYour kitty quilt is adorable, but your sweet grand daughter is even more adorable!
ReplyDeleteYour granddaughter and her quilt are adorable. The gifts from your friend are too cute.
ReplyDeleteOh so sweet, quilt and Eden! I love her hair! And the ears. Who can resist a hoodie with ears. The bunny themed gift is sweet, too. How neat that you will have matching pillows! I've looked at the Hands 2 Help info. I'm really bad with timelines, so I'm thinking maybe I won't sign up for the challenge--but think I might make a quilt to contribute anyway since it's an ongoing collection. Thanks for the nudge!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for posting pictures of your sweet little darling. What a great way to start the day! Who can resist that delicate smile? The Playful Kittens quilt is adorable and so are the bunny treats sent by Susie. What are quilty friends for?!!!
ReplyDeleteEden is such a sweetie. I love the Playful Kittens quilt you made for her. And how very sweet of Susie to send such thoughtful gifts for you and Eden. Quilty friends are the best friends ever.
ReplyDeleteThis is an oooh! and aaah! kind of post. Eden is an absolute darling and her quilt! Lara, you are such a talent! The quilt is amazing.
ReplyDeleteYou picked the perfect pattern for this quilt; it shows perfectly the larger prints. A beautiful quilt for a beautiful little girl!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cutie-pie! Lovely quilt too :)
ReplyDeleteThe quilt looks great. It turned out so pretty - to match its new owner :)
ReplyDeleteThe playful kittens quilt is beautiful Lara! Really nice colours, and the pinwheels give it that action! That's a great Windsor chair to use in your photo shoot (looks like a Wandering Camera shot). Such a sweet gift from Susie ... kids love pockets. Eden is a sweetheart, and love that endearing look in her eyes. You're a very lucky grandma ;)
ReplyDeleteWendy
I'm not sure how I missed this post! I love how the quilt turned out! Eden is just beautiful Lara :) What a great and thoughtful gift as well! Quilty friends are the best
ReplyDeleteI just saw over on Confessions of a Fabric Addict that you have generously provided a prize for Hands 2 Help. Thank you so much for being part of this fantastic challenge!
ReplyDeleteI live in a place where I have almost no access to guilds, classes, or quilt shops, so I really appreciate the online quilting community. Knowing that there are like-minded folks out there, ready to give something back to the world, makes me so happy.
Eden is a living doll!! There can never be too many photos of cute babies on gorgeous quilts :-)
