QuiltsBy.me

A new neighbor moved in next door. She heard I made quilts and asked me to make one for her to give to her Mom. It seems her brother was killed in a construction accident. She said it was Tee shirts but most were sweatshirts so thickness so uneven. I had never made a tee quilt before, but my friend who use to own a quilt shop gave me advise. The first photo (twin size) is the second quilt I made for neighbor. The first quilt I made (2nd photo) is large 14 inch squares of items given with his photo and I embroidered his name on the pink one. Not showing that part. Her Mom got it on Mother's Day, loves it and of course cried. As I some material left I just finished the 2nd smaller one for her yesterday. . The back and trim of both are New England Patriot's material, a favorite of his I was told. No plans to make any more of these, very labor intensive for sure. Hardest part was getting those pockets off the sweatshirts without making a hole.

Covid Quilt of Prayers

At first, I didn't want to make anything that would remind me of this terrible time, until I thought of these verses I had in yardage. This throw got it's name, because of all my prayers, while working on it.I quilted quarter inch away from the frame strips and in the ditch of strips dividing the verses. It's a throw size 60 x 72 inches. I do have some waves going on that I don't like, but since it's a personal throw, not meant for judging, I can live with it. I may could have taken some of that out if I had hand stitched the binding, but when I am wrapped up, who knows.-lol

Road Trip

I love watching Jenny's videos and have made a couple of her quilts. When I saw her "Road Trip." I knew it was a must make. I purchased 10" state flower squares and narrowed my states down to 21. Beginning with my dad's birth state, I selected all of my family's birth states (5), every state where we have lived (7), and the most important states where my children and I have made memories. To top it off I found some abstract state material for my backing. What a treasure of state memories I made. Thank you Missouri Star Quilt Company.

Hard Rock

This quilt was created for a client. He saw a the quilt I made for a mutual friend with his marathon shirts, and the next day asked me to make him a quilt with his collection of Hard Rock shirts. It was several months before I had time, and this is the result. The border and backing is Timeless Treasures "Tossed Guitars".

Arrow of Time

This is made from scraps of every quilt I made in my first year of sewing. I'd sewn before, but I took about a 30 year hiatus. Then I discovered quilting.

Sail for my son

My son just adores his Grandpa. They have a special bond like no other. We are a military family and he has never lived in the same state as my parents. So our son gets to spend a whole month every summer fishing with my dad in Florida. Last summer with sheer determination he left on an adventure to fulfill a dream of catching his first sailfish with his Grandpa. my son was 11 at the time but this was his dream since he was 4 years old! Last summer that dream came true and that memory of catching this fish with him will be one he cherishes forever. I wanted to make him a quilt to honor that. There are not many sailfish quilts out there so I had to get creative and create my first appliqué project. I started with the MSQC “stack and flip” quilt as my background. I watched and followed several of Jenny’s appliqué tutorials, as well as Rob’s from man sewing. I found a fish picture I liked, expanded it onto several sheets and cut it out. Then searched high and low for the perfect fabrics to create my fish. It took me several weeks but I finished it just in time for my son’s return from his Grandpas house in Florida. He was thrilled with his quilt. It is mounted proudly over his bed and he loves showing it off to everyone who visits. He also lovingly shares the story of catching his first sailfish with his Grandpa.

Pinwheel Memory Quilt

Update: I added a border. I always have a new appreciation for working with quilters cotton after working with clothes on memory quilts. :-) I made this Pinwheel Memory Quilt for my friends long arm business. Grandmother's clothes (wool jacket, jean jacket, dress pants, knit tops, pajama bottoms, and pieces of table linens) were used for this quilt for her grandson (who was very close to his Grandma). Her favorite night gown ('I'm too sexy to be 60") will be used as the label on the back. Grandson's favorite colors of blue and black were added as blocks too. 56.5" x 76.5"
