Humidicrib quilts – the gallery

A bit of idle curiosity inspired me to wonder how many humidicrib quilts I have made over the years. I think I photographed most of them. Let’s see … And that adds up to … lots! One was made as …

Lucky last

As I explained last week, my plan to sew one humidicrib cover each month in 2018 is being cut short, and this one will be my last. I made the top and quilted it a few months ago, and then …

No more humidicrib quilts

I have not been shouting this from the treetops, but my goal for this year was to sew one humidicrib cover a month, as I did in 2015. I had a plan for the rest of the year. I was …
