Dudley Quilt



So I created and made a quilt for the newest Dudley. Since, they help run the Dudley farm and know about farming and are "true" Guilford folk - I thought I would try to be creative and make a special baby quilt. Some of the different features of this quilt were:

  • Stonewall - bottom of the quilt for all the stonewalls in Guilford.
  • Three different fields which were quilted with the floating foot on my sewing machine. There was a cornfield, plowed field and a wheat field. Each field was quilted differently.  Thank you to the Sisters in Cloth in sharing fabric for this section and the back of the quilt. 
  • The tree on the right has a heart stitched into it. That is significant to the parents.
  • There are sheep (which there is sheep on the Dudley Farm!), ducks and rabbits on the quilt. The rabbits are hidden in the white fence on both sides of the quilt.
  • The back of the quilt is one piece of cloth with a farm scene.
