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.

Doing some minor repairs on a family quilt

My husband and I were lucky enough to inherit his parent's wedding quilt. Made in 1939 by the ladies of their local church it has a lot of meaning for the family. I love it - and consider it the 'gem' in our collection.

Turtle Love

Right after my kids told me they were expecting, I handed my daughter-in-law a box of various fabric squares and told her to pick out four or five that she liked and I'd make a baby quilt. This was the result. This will be the last quilt I mess up with my sad quilting skills. LOL From now on they go to the quilt shop for quilting until I figure out how to do it.

Crazy Memories

I took over care for my dad after my mom passed away in 2009. As he grew sicker I could no longer spend long hours in my sewing room down stairs so over the last few years had completely stopped quilting. As my stress grew worse dealing with all things dad, my urge to quilt kept getting stronger and stronger and finally I couldn't wait another minute. I cleared out the dining room and turned it into a sewing room. For my first project back after not sewing at all for 4 or 5 years, I decided to make a crazy quilt. I fell in love with one I found in an antique shop when I was a little kid and vowed to have one of my own someday. I'm in my 50's so decided if it was going to happen I'd better make my own. One square of each row has a center that features either one my my kids, or something I love. I also decided to make it a quilt as you go project. I made it for my bed, but found I didn't really like sleeping under it, but it looks awesome on the back of my couch. It really brightens up the living room.

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.

Another quilt from my collection

I like the story behind this quilt - my husband's aunt purchased the blocks at an auction. Didn't pay much - no one else seemed interested in them. She assembled them in a quilt and gave it to us. A few years later, I took it to an informal quilt appraisal and discovered most of the fabric was early 1900's shirting material -- what a nice surprise!

Remaking the past

I acquired several Dresden plates that my mother and her mother put together sometime in the last 1930's (not exactly sure when). There were enough 'plates' to make five full size quilts as wedding gifts for the first grandchildren to be married - I have two more to go!
