I was very excited last week when the mail carrier brought me my preview copy of the new Quilts, BABY! book, published by Lark Books and edited by Linda Kopp. I am so happy to be one of the artists included in this truly delightful book, due to be released in May. Loaded with fun baby quilting projects, including blankets, crib bumpers, and art work for the nursery, the projects are hip and fun! The whole layout from writing to illustrating is just wonderful!
I have three small embroidered wall hangings featured in the book, shown on pages 107 to 113. (That little baby photo is me!)
I adore the illustrations found throughout the book.
These are photos of my three featured quilt projects...
"River"
"Morning Glory"
"Ho Jo Space Spores"
And don't feel you have to have a baby in your life to enjoy this book. I think all of the projects, techniques, and ideas in Quilts, BABY! could be enjoyed by any age. It's a wonderful resource for anyone just starting to get their tootsies wet in the world of quilting, and great inspiration for experienced "swimmers" as well!

Congratulations Victoria!! Love your projects! The book looks wonderful. I saw a gleam before on Syko’s blog. It’s a must-have!
Congratulations. It looks stunning. I hadn't enlarged a picture before and can now see that you use matching thread and satin stitch. Your machine control is amazing, no puckering and such even handstitches. I am in awe.
Big congratulations!! I'm thrilled for you!
Congratulations! That is fantastic and the quilts are wonderful. You are right they don't necessarily have to be for a baby.
Congratulations! How very exciting. Judging from the cover of the book the insides have to be equally delightful.
Congrats! Love the baby photo!
V, You ROCK! Your work makes my skirt fly up! Congratulations! Your work is fantastic, fun and insprirational. Kudos to you, my friend. It is much deserved. Happy sewing!
Oh just look at that adorable little photo of you! How cute! Congrats on being featured in that lovely looking book! Well done you! That 'Ho Jo Space Spores' quilt is super!

Congrats!! This book looks incredible. I have not seen a Lark Art book that I did not have to have and this looks like a must have. Your mini quilts are so wonderful. I have been going to them regularly on your etsy site for inspiration.
That is awesome! I am so happy for you. I particularly like "River."
