QuiltsBy.me

This is only my third project. I didn't have a clue how make this quilt. I bought the material to make it last August but didn't really get into making it until March 2020 SIP. I really love MSQC Youtube tutorials Jenny makes everything look easy. I must have watched the video 5 times. I really love the way it turned out and am so happy to have it in our camper.

French Roses

This is a gorgeous project to make. I first saw it hanging in a local fabric store in a nearby town. It grabbed me right from first sight and I knew I had to make it. I love roses and it just seemed like my kind of quilt. It is done using the soft edge applique technique & I used the small scrap pieces to make a piano key border. I had it custom quilted by a professional quilter.

Daughter's Love

I made this quilt for my son who is a veteran. He had to be away from his daughters and he missed them very much. I had their mother trace their handprints and send them to me. I had a layer cake of wooly flannel that I had been saving. I ordered a little extra and made a large quilt for him out of squares. Then I appliqued three sets of his daughter's handprints onto the cover. I backed it in red and black plaid fleece. Red is his favorite color and I wanted the quilt to be really warm. It was quilted with an overall meander and gifted in April 2018.

Orange Peel

I made this quilt for my sister for Christmas. She loves circle, so I did an Orange Peel with the intersecting circles and I had the quilter do a circle pattern.

Lucie's happy quilt

My daughter wanted a quilt with birdhouses so I bought an inspiration pattern but deviated from it a lot. The block sizes were different, the birdhouses were quirkier, I added cats and trees, then Lucie got involved and added pinwheels. A friend, Emily Bodemer, quilted it for me with flowers, dragonflies and birds and it now resides at Lucie's home in the UK.

Les Fleurs of Paris

My wife is the queen of Pink and Black and all about Paris. So last Christmas, i new I wanted to make her a queen with a queen quilt. It is filled with mix media, Hand applique, ribbon swirls, fans, just exquisite and a scalloped border. It was bordering my talent threshold, but I did it. She was so shocked she just screamed.

Матрешки (Matryoshki)

The "Matryoshka" dolls (Russian stacking dolls) hold special meaning for our family, having lived in Russia from 1994-2000, so seeing this pattern by Cinderberry Stitches was a must have! I began this project around the end of 2013, and finished it in March this year (2015). Unable to locate the exact fabric listed in the pattern, I headed to my stash and found the perfect choice, which was part of a kit for a different quilt. (I wasn't fond of the quilt pattern in that kit). These colors were spot on, and the layer cake would make almost the perfect size for blocks. This is "Terrain" by Kate Spain. I do love her cheerful colors and designs! This pattern called for slightly larger squares, but as a layer cake contains 10 inch squares, slicing the cake into quarters gave me plenty of 5 inch squares. And since I was adjusting the pattern for a queen size, I just added a few more rows of squares, and an extra row of dolls. Still fairly new to quilting, I made some adjustments to suit my abilities: I used fusible web on the doll bodies, cutting the web 1/4" smaller than the template. I turned the edges in over the webbing, then ironed flat. I machine appliqued the dolls, having needle-turned only their faces. I later wished I had added another row or 2, but extra borders allow for extended drape over my thick mattress and box springs, Quilt backings of 108-inches wide make for shorter work ~ love not having to piece it! My friend Alice and I long-armed this one, during the short-lived ice storm here. I chose a leaf and flower design for border to border quilting on the squares, and a single daisy for the dolls' tummies. I did backing-turned binding and machine stitched it. Was thrilled to find this stitch pattern on the new Janome! I've named my quilt the proper (plural) word for Russian stacking dolls...Matryoshki. and we shall sleep cozily under while dreaming of our years in Russia, and the life-long friends we made there.

Hat Box Quilt

My sister Vicki (shown in photo) has been making hats to sell as a fundraiser for several years. She donates the proceeds of her sales to Camp Kemo, a place for children with illness to enjoy a week in summer. In earlier years, Sis made bridal and keepsake boxes, decorated and wrapped in lovely fabrics, which she gave as gifts. A few years ago, while perusing a library book by Kaffe Fassett, my eyes fell upon a quilt that seemed it was designed with her in mind: THE HAT BOX QUILT. I renewed the book so often that I was forced to return it to the shelf late last fall. But not before I had those templates enlarged, rolled up and tucked away! With the birthday coming at the end of March, I decided to begin the day after Christmas. I pulled out my collection of home decor samples and set to cutting with the templates. What fun wallowing in (choosing from) the variety of fabric choices! The "wallpaper" background fabrics for each block were on hand, but the "floors" were a challenge ~ in stores, I couldn't locate stripes that I had in mind, until... Aha! Thrift stores have men's striped dress shirts a'plenty, so off I go. The thrill of the hunt is the thing, ya know, and I found the perfect stripes. I pieced the "wallpaper" blocks together and then began the applique' process. Over the next weeks, the design wall began to fill up. I later added sashing and borders, and finally, quilted it with the help of my friend Alice and her machine, It's mostly FMQ except for the leaves. I framed and hand sewed the label on, designed by Alice and moi. I joyfully delivered it in person on her birthday, and she LOVES it!

Won't You Be My Neighbor?

My 7 yo old daughter and I made this together. She picked out the houses and matching roofs. She also helped iron on the doors and windows. I had some trouble figuring out how to sew the half hexies together, but I figured it out. It's a very cute pattern and we love the look.

My First Quilt

This quilt started out from a kit I bought at Sir's Fabric in Fayetteville, TN. I bought it because I'd just got a new sewing machine and knew it was a matter of time before my groom asked why I bought a machine and didn't use it. So I made the kit and discovered it was too small to use except as a wall hanging and had no wall space for it. So I ordered precuts from M*QC and kept adding to it until it was big enough for our Queen size bed.
