I made rag quilt for each of my daughters. They wanted a quilt they could take to camp with them. They do not use their given names while being a counselor. Elizabeth's "camp name is "Possum". I designed a "P" into the middle of the quilt.

Landon's Quilt

This quilt was a request from my daughter in law. She wanted to preserve some special "work" tees my firefighter son no longer wore for her son. After thinking about it and looking at lots of Pinterest posts and patterns this is what I came up with. It is flannel. My first time trying to quilt with such stretchy stuff.

Michele's memory quilt

T-Shirt Quilt

One of my son's "brothers" from the fire station asked if I'd consider making a t-shirt quilt for him as a family heirloom to pass on to his son. I was proud to say "yes" and these are some of the shirts ready for placement.

Autograph Quilt

My young grandson is a hip hop dancer so I made him this quilt to collect autographs from other dancers he met at competitions. The white spaces are where the signatures go. The sneakers in the centre were my fist attempt at appliqué and the pattern is my own design.

"Willie's Bandanas".....A Memory Quilt

My grand nephew was born with severe Myotonic Muscular Dystrophy two weeks after my parents retired. My parents did not hesitate when the need arose to take over guardianship. I believe their love and deligent care is why he is still with us at 18 yrs old. He was very disabled, undergoing surgeries, and literally years of PT, 7 yrs of toilet training, etc. He has no muscular tone in his cheeks, which prevents him from smiling and caused him to drool. He wore bandanas around his neck for 10-12 yrs to catch the excess saliva. My Mom amassed quite a collection of bandanas for Willie over the years. The day he mastered sipping through a straw was a happy one! It meant he could learn to "such it up" and avoid drooling. This quilt is made from Willie's bandana collection. It's a reminder of the hurdles that Willie & my parents have overcome & a tribute to the joy he has brought to our family. This was my second quilt and I had no pattern & was new to quilting. I tried to take into account the varying degrees of wear to the bandanas vs the newness of the black background fabric. I used a cotton/polyester broadcloth for the background because not all of the bandanas were 100% cotton. It was my first foray into transferring photos to fabric, as well, and my first time using appliqué and working with triangles. I pieced the back together using the larger bandanas in the collection.It was a labor of love and problem solving.

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.

Suey's Fleece Quilt

This was my very first quilt! I'd taken a sewing class about 6 months prior so I could learn to make clothes for my little hairless Chinese Crested, Suey. I made most of his stuff from fleece, and I decided to make a quilt with the leftover remnants. It was a challenge to pass so much bulk through my machine, but boy, it sure is a warm cozy quilt! Of course, this quilt is special as my very first, but I know it will become even more precious as the years pass. When I look at it, I see all the little outfits I've made for my darling dog (and some of his doggie friends, too). He especially loves the binding part of the quilting process when he gets to cuddle with me and a quilt as I hand sew.

Gamer Quilt

My son graduated from college this year and I created a quilt using some of his artwork. I had some of his digital art printed on fabric and sized for quilt blocks. I used 2 sets of precut 10" squares for the pieced blocks. I then used the scraps to make the border and binding. I am thrilled with the way it turned out!

For The Love of a Friend

My husband's first wife tragically died of cancer. Her best friend was critically ill in the hospital and was unable to make that cross country trip to see her best friend before she passed. We were packing our home to move to another state and came across a box of his late wife's dresses that had been overlooked when he was donating her clothes. I told him to set them aside and that I would make something with them. Fast forward one year. We were finally settled in our new home and I decided it was time to make a quilt with Susan's dresses. I cut away all the seams to see how much fabric I would have. I found the great tutorial from Jenny with the written instructions from my Block magazine, I began my project and finished it in time so I could give it to Linda for Christmas. I had custom quilting done to bring out the best in the dresses fabric and the design. Linda hasn't stopped smiling since she received her quilt. The quilt has helped to ease the pain of loosing her best friend. The quilt also has greatly pleased my husband knowing that his late wife is special to me even though I never had the pleasure to know her.

Joey's Memory Quilt

My daughter asked me to make a quilt for my grandson using some of his favorite t-shirts she had saved since he was three. At first I was dreading the thought of cutting up 35 perfectly good t-shirts that some other little boy could use. When I started cutting them up i started remembering him wearing them and seeing how his taste had changed and how much he has grown. The best part was seeing his face when he saw it.

Lattice Quilt

This quilt is by far my favorite. As soon as I watched Jenny's tutorial I knew I had to make it. Unfortunately my daughter talked me out of it and now it is in her home. Oh well, that's why I quilt....for my kids...haha!
