A lot of things happen....

A lot of thing happen in 10 months, like having a baby.  In September my husband and I were thrilled to find out that we were expecting our first baby! It was a long 10 months full of sleeping and other joys that accompany pregnancy and finally our little girl arrived at the end of May just a few weeks ahead of schedule!

In the time that I was pregnant I did very little quilting.  In fact I think I only made 2 quilts.  One for our little girl, and one for my twin brother who had a baby just a few months before us!

So I lost my beautiful sewing room turned into a beautiful nursery.  Here is the quilt for our little one.

So pretty!

I even expanded my horizons and made matching drapery!

Pretty nifty eh?


Hopefully now that our baby is here I will have a little more time for quilting...ha! I have got a few projects on the go so more to come shortly!

Welcome!

Welcome to Fabricated Quilts!  My name is Laura and I am an elementary school teacher.  I quilt in my spare time.  My love of quilting has grown over the years and taken over a large portion of my main floor!  After some encouragement from my family I decided to start a blog in order to share my love of quilts and fabric.  In my family I am well known for making a story more interesting by adding some embellishing details.  Over the years my family has begun to refer to most of my story telling as "fabricated".  Driving home one day it came to me that this would be the perfect name for a blog.  It included both my love for fabric and for a little drama. And that is the true story of how this blog came to be.
