Geese on the loose

I've been trying to use up some of my stash to make room for some new fabric. This is an idea I got from watching the Silly Goose tutorial but used layer cakes and half square triangles. It is a twin size quilt top that needs to be finished.

Falling charms quilt

This is one of my favorite patterns to make. Just by changing the colors the whole look changes completely! This one I did for my cousin who gives so much to others and asks for nothing in return.

Custom HST Twin Quilt

My customer's choice of half-square triangles with bright fabrics was perfect! This quilt is in memory of my customer's daughter who passed away two years ago. She was a paramedic who loved children, as testified by the fun prints on her scrubs. The daughter loved word finds, and my customer found the perfect backing in this Cotton + Steel print! It has words like "CUTIE PIE" and "I LOVE YOU". The word find fabric is the perfect weight for backing, and the letters were super easy to line up when I pieced the backing, something that can be near impossible on lesser-quality fabrics. Another thing I really like about this fabric is the letters are printed both directions, normal and upside down, which means the fabric isn't directional and can be sewed together either way. The word find fabric also comes in navy and bright pink. This is the first time I have purchased a Cotton + Steel fabric, can you believe it? It also has the cutest selvage I have ever seen! Another quilt in which I remembered to put a label! I'm so loving my sew-in satin labels! It just feels special to put my personal mark on a quilt. http://quiltlabels.ikaprint.com/ Quilt Stats: Pattern: Half-square triangles Size: Twin size, 70" x 90" Fabric: Customer-supplied medical scrubs with Kona White Batting: 100% cotton Backing: Cotton + Steel Playful Word Find in Cream Quilting: Allover small meander in white polyester thread on Mrs.Singer, my antique 31-15.

Warmth

I found this project in a quilt book that my mom had. It's a variation of a nine patch and I just fell in love with it. I wanted to make one for myself, but decided I'd practice the pattern first by making one for my best friend for Christmas. Love the look of the pattern, but hate working in diagonal strips so chances are good that I'll never make one for myself, but I love the way this turned out.

Tree Lot

I saw this Daniela Stout pattern and example quilt at the San Diego Quilt Show in 2012and fell in love. Batiks! I got Robert Kaufman's Cornucopia 2 jelly roll for the trees, Cornucopia 2 Autumn for the backing and Makower UK Essentials White for the background. Fast forward two years and my cousin is getting married. They are from Missouri where trees and snow are a thing. They live in CA so a lap quilt would be perfect and fit in my novice wheelhouse. Daniela was incredibly helpful with the tree top block since the first time out I cut off the points by mistake. All quilting is trial and error. :) I pieced it and fretted. A wedding gift is a heady thing so I decided to have Missouri Star Quilt Company (LOVE them) do the machine quilting. The job they did with the snowflake pattern was amazing. I created a lovely label by printing a fabric background with lettering in a box in the center and sent it off with some $$ in case they really weren't quilt people. ;) Needless to say, I heard back today and they LOVE it. I am so gratified and stoked to keep on what has become an incredible journey. I love piecing and learned so much. Next up will be my first attempt at machine quilting myself.

My First Quilt I Ever Made!!

I happened to see the pattern for the inverted star. I thought, oh how pretty! I had never quilted before, but I thought I would try this one. It took me 6 hours to complete my first block. Then by the time I made my 25th block, I was down to 2 hours. The ladies at the fabric store told me that I chose a difficult pattern for my first one. I guess someone forgot to tell me that in the beginning! I didn't find it difficult!!! I found it fun!!! I have the backing fabric and batting ready to go, just haven't quilted it yet. I'm still trying to decide what pattern I want to stipple it!!

My first Lattice quilt

I saw the tutorial for this quilt and was fascinated! I knew it would be the perfect quilt for my guest room and when I found the Lovely charm packs in the bottom of my stash drawer I knew it would be perfect!

Navy quilt

My husband's nephew asked if I would make him a quilt with a Navy theme since he is a veteran of that branch. I surprised him with this quilt for Christmas 2014. It was quilted with a nautical theme.

Tumbler Quilt

I've been quilting for several years and my husband gently reminded me that I had made a quilt for all the kids and grandkids, one for my mom, and one for each bed in the house and he would like to have one. He picked out fabrics that represented his interests and helped design the quilt top. Our friend who is also the long arm quilter designed the trident pattern. He loved it!

Johan's Horsie

Our youngest grandson was born during the "Year of the Horse." Since his brother received a dragon quilt for "Year of the Dragon," I looked for an image for a quilt for his brother, simplified it and made the appliqué. The blocks were from Pam and Nicky Lintott's book, "Jelly Roll Quilts," the "Twin Stars" pattern. Fabrics were scraps given me by friends and background fabric was left over from another quilt. 2014

Janet's Quilt

I think this is the Devil's Claw block. A friend found an almost identical quilt in a thrift store and bought it. When she showed it to our quilt guild, I got chills. I asked permission to copy it, and she agreed. I was able to match the orange fabric. I took a photo of her quilt and measured the blocks. My quilting is different from hers, and there were some mistakes (maybe on purpose?) in her quilt, which I didn't copy. She didn't want me to copy the quilt exactly, and I figured I didn't need to put in mistakes on purpose, as there are bound to be some anyway. 2004

Mother's Handkerchief Quilt

Found the pattern online. I needed handkerchiefs so I shopped antique stores to find them. That in itself was fun to do. I got fabric for the sashing and squares that had the colors used in the 30's. The hankies when folded look like butterflies. In searching for the hankies I found at least one for each of the 3 Handkerchief quilts I made that had butterflies on them. That seemed to be so approiate for these quilts.
