This quilt was easy but time consuming. Color choices make a difference when assembling this quilt.

A family donated a woman's quilting fabric when she went into assisted living. My quilt guild had a sale for some of the fabrics. I purchased some of the dinosaurs. I decided to applique the dinosaur on the top that I made for the baby. I outlined the dinosaur with Chenille-It. I used Urban Elementz Daytripper design. It was a minky back with roads and vehicles on it. 53" x 64"

Club Signature Quilt

Our club occasionally does signature quilts. This one sat in pieces until it appeared in a UFO night. This is when you bring unfinished projects and other things you would like out of your stash. We sell tickets for a quarter and all money goes to the club. A friend got this and decided to send it back to the next UFO Night. I thought it might be better if it was finished so rescued it from her. When laying it out I found that two of the blocks were too small, which is probably what stymied others to finish. I took the blocks apart and resewed them. The picture makes it seem like I didn’t know what I was doing when I laid it out, but there are some really nice appliqué blocks and hand embroidery that I tried to spread out and make the focus.

Hawaiian Sunbonnet Sue

While on a vacation trip, I discovered a gem of a pocket-sized quilt store tucked on a hillside overlooking a quiet area of Honolulu. Every inch of the store had treasures to explore. I purchased a Hawaiian Sunbonnet Applique Quilt Kit, Size 41 x 49 Designed by Donna Fear Originals by HITOMI.com from momwouldgo@hawaii.rr.com The fabrics are authentic Hawaiian floral designs and the kit itself allows you to add your own personal touch. I added a little puppy and kitty to a couple of the blocks. As I worked on sewing and quilting this project, I found myself thankful that the memories of being there with family and friends renewed my spirit. I think that quilting may provide that gift. It now hangs on my sewing room wall to remind me of sunny days, beach time fun, and shopping excursions in beautiful Hawai'i.

Leaves of Blue

I wanted to make a quick lap size quilt to keep out all year. This took eight weeks and it is just the right size.

Diaphanous Baskets

Adapted from a Planted Seeds pattern. I added two baskets, changed the sashing, and added the border and embroidery…lots of little critters which are hard to see in the picture.

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.

Used a couple of patterns (edyta sitar and Esther Aliu) along with my own designs. Two of my granddaughters want it, so I’m making one that they both may like as well and then they can choose!

This is a mix of patterns I’ve had. Thought the black would make the squares pop!

The Elephant

I saw a sample of ‘The Elephant and I’ quilt by Jennifer Sampou in a shop and had to get the pattern. After collecting a good variety of Kaffe Fassett fabrics, my paper pieced elephant was ready to go wild with colour. Big stitch quilting with perle cotton around the elephant along with echo quilting inside makes it stand out on the low volume BG that is quilted asymmetrically in vertical lines. I deceived not to include the human on the quilt as in the original pattern as I just wanted the elephant to shine.

Hope For The Future

I made this in March of 2020, right at the beginning of the pandemic. Since I couldn’t get to a fabric store it was made from fabric I had on hand. Yellow always signifies hope for me and the border has yellow reaching out to the world. Pattern by Esther Aliu.

Cactus Carnival Quilt

I saw Jenny Doan's tutorial on the cactus carnival quilt and loved the look! I thought it would be a fun way to use up some of my batik stash. I used Moda grunge I had on hand for the background square and the cactus and pot appliques all came from my batik stash.

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
