My husband taught with the most wonderful Nun for ten years. When she had to retire due to health problems, her order called her home. We made it a point to travel the 1,500 miles twice a year to visit. I made this quilt and three pillowcases especially for her. It gave her so much comfort and joy every day especially during her last 6 month is of life. The other Sisters took turn keeping her pillowcases clean and pressed every day. Even in death, the quilt covered her procession from her death bead to the waiting Hearst. They all stopped and three sisters took turns reading each prayer. For her Celebration of Life, the quilt covered the table where all of the pictures from her 65 years of service to God were displayed. The quilt remains at the Canticle for all the other sisters to enjoy. Her three closest three friends each got a pillowcase.

A Gift

If Your like me you can throw away scrap fabric no matter how small, so when I saw this block I thought what a great gift quilt made up of gifts.

Patriotic Rag Quilt

This quilt is made from homespun fabrics (in red, ivory and navy) that I purchased a LONG time ago with the intention of "someday" making a rag quilt. I made a rag quilt for my granddaughter for Christmas this year (2015; see my other posted projects) and decided my grandson also needed a rag quilt. So glad I had these fabrics "waiting in the wing" to be turned into something special; hence, this rag quilt for my grandson for Christmas this year.

Cache Valley Fall

I love every change of season, but fall is one of my favorites! The colors are so intense in the little valley where I live. My friends teased me about this quilt because I included pink, purple and blue. But I couldn't leave out the burning bushes, purple asters and bright blue sky! I love how these batiks play off each other. This pattern is similar to Jenny's Half Hexie tutorial, but each hexagon is in four pieces instead of two. From Quilts and More Magazine, Fall 2014. (Completed Spring, 2015)

Christmas Quilt

I wanted to make a quilt I could bring out every Holiday season and lay over the couch by the tree. I found a beautiful fat quarter in a quilt shop when I visited Panama City Beach this summer. It's called Holiday Flourish by Robert Kaufman. I was inspired by a pattern called Brimfield by Moda for Layer Cakes, but I used all my own measurements to change the size of the squares.

A Lost and Found Christmas Table Runner

Jenny Doan's Disappearing Pinwheel 5 Twist Quilt tutorial in a Christmas fabric was a perfect match. I used "Lost and Found Christmas" precut layer cake by Riley lake for a table runner. It has designs which look like the old fashioned Christmas decorations I recall growing up. I also love how the pattern reminds me of little presents tied with bows. The backing fabric, from the same line, is an all-over Christmas tree. I channel quilted the top and free motioned a chain swirl for the border using the attachments on my Bernina sewing machine. I am pleased with the result. It will add a festive touch to the holidays.

Peggy's Quilt #4 - Simon's Halloween Quilt

This is my fourth quilt. My son and daughter-in-law moved to California and took my 2 grandkids with them. ;{ So I made them each a Halloween Quilt. This one is for 6-year-old Simon. The machine piecing on this one didn't take long (May 18-21, 2015), using the MSQC Four Patch Frenzy tutorial. The fabric is Cheeky Pumpkins by DT-K Signature (1 layer cake) plus half of one black jelly roll and half of one white jelly roll. The back is orange flannel. It was long arm free-motion quilted by Lyn Durbin at Camlyn Quilts. Lyn put spider webs in the corners as well as Simon's name and 2015. I love quilting! Peggy

Lyn Durbin of Camlyn Quilts did the free-motion long arm quilting and finished on July 4th. This is a Twin size quilt measuring 70"x78". I love quilting! Peggy

Big Star

I fell in love with this beautiful, subtle Holiday print called Pine Fresh by Sandy Gervais for Moda and for the Big Star quilt in Block Magazine. I knew my son would love this fabric as the pine cones would help him remember our many vacations when he and his sister were little. Going to the mountains was always a favorite time and wouldn't it be nice to take a nap some winter day under a warm quilt? It was a birthday surprise and he loved it!

Charm Big Star

I made this quilt for my daughter for Christmas 2014. I finished sewing on the binding during a 4-hour layover in the Denver Airport. She made Christmas stockings and other decorations to match. I have actually made this quilt 3 times in different fabrics.

Because of the Brave

Inspired by one of Jenny's tutorials, I raided my stash, supplemented it a little, and made this quilt! We laid on it to watch the July 4 fireworks, and my family loved it! It truly represents America and reminds us how blessed we are to be free, because of the many brave men and women who have fought and are fighting for our freedom.

Christmasy Log Cabin

Picked out fabric from my stash and in the end, it seemed like a Christmas quilt. It was one of the first things I did on my new Singer One; it was machine quilted by Laurie Coolbeth.
