QuiltsBy.me

I was inspired by Jenny's Baby Blocks Quilt. I decided to use charms squares instead of 2 1/2" squares. I ended up with huge white corners and triangles. It took several months to decide on the appliqué design to fill all the white space and another year to finish all the appliqué. I think Kendyl is going to love it because she loves purple!

Baby quilts for Great Grandchildren.

I have twenty-six grandchildren, 13 boys and 13 girls. For each I made receiving blankets from flannel and then crochet around the edge. I kept the scrapes from those blankets. Now the great grandchildren are coming and here is what I am making for them. Taking the scrapes that were from that grandchild and cutting hearts and appliqueing them on the flannel charm packs I can get at Missouri Star Quilts.

Dresden Rock My World

Missouri Star Spring Dresden Flower Pot design and tutorial is a perfect applique project all done on the sewing machine. This was my first attempt at making dresdens and happily will not be my last. I made 42 dresdens in assorted prints and from green varied prints from a charm pack with tumbler and dresden blade templates. The top which fits a double size bed, came together easily plus a bonus at the end. I utilized a blanket stitch to attach the dresden blades, stitch in the ditch, stippling in the 5 inch border with my walking foot attachment. Then I embroidered floral and continuous line motifs with free motion quilting and added some of my sewing machine's decorative stitches. Jenny's ideas and suggestions from start to finish made for a successful journey into dresden sewing. I also had enough for a small tabletop. The spring dresden bouquet can brighten a new day.

A Little Bit Wonky

This is No. 8 of my walking-foot challenge. After struggling with my HST quilt, I decided I needed something fun to make. . . and these were very fun to make! First I straight lined stitched the background, then appliqued the wonky boxes and then I just wonky stitched at random the individual boxes themselves.

Christmas Lollipops

This is the fourth year to design ornaments for a swap. I decided to design my own lollipops with burlap string and Bonnie and Camille fabrics. I used appliqué, quilting, and embroidery techniques.

Amy’s Memory Quilt

A friend of mine lost her father in law and asked me to make a memory quilt for his wife;her mother in law. She gave me a pile of his clothes, all jeans and flannel shirts. She also gave me the shirt and dress each had worn at her wedding(used for the center heart). I used Tonga Treats Batiks Freedom minis to supplement them. He was a veteran so it was a perfect fit! I used Shadow Play yardage in natural for the boarders. Tonga Batiks Freedom blue stars for the backing. I asked my friend if he had a favorite flower as I love to add appliqué to my quilts whenever possible. He loved trillium. I created my own trillium appliqués. Of course the best part of any project is getting to see the recipient’s reaction. I was fortunate enough to have friend send me a video of her mother in law opening the quilt. Makes all the hard work worth it

Dresden Irish Chain Quilt

I wanted to make a quick, easy project with the Dresden plate. I started out making a table runner. The blocks went together so quickly, I decided to turn my 3 into 15. They looked so much like sunflowers, it reminded me of my soon to be daughter in law. After completing the blocks, I wanted to do something special, besides just joining the Dresden blocks together. I looked on line for some ideas, and this is what I came up with. It's so colorful!

Butterfly Baby Quilt

I made this simple quilt from charm packs. Then added some butterflies for interest. I backed it with flannel (first time that I’ve tried flannel) and did minimal quilting. My favorite part is the butterfly border. Here are a couple of pics. One is before I sewed on the binding, but it showS the butterfly border well.

Thankful

I liked Jenny's Thanksgiving quilt and I thought it would look great using my leftover fabric from a large quilt I made with Moda's Modern Neutrals, so I downloaded the pattern and got to work on 'Mt. Scrapmore'. I like how it turned out: a modern take on American tradition.

Update: I quilted on my friends longarm and bound this quilt. I made this airplane MSQC Charms on Point quilt for my husbands soon to be born great nephew. I used Mighty Machines charms and added some 5 inch squares from coordinating fabric. I added more borders and used charms as the final border. I appliqued four airplanes on this quilt (Accuquilt dies and embroidery). 60" square
