First Baby Shower gift of 2019

It seemed like I made tons of baby quilts last year. Here it is, the end of June and I have the first baby quilt of the year finished and ready for the shower. Elephants were on the invitation, so I used a Let's Make Art tutorial to make the card to go with the quilt.

Go Sparty!

A dear friend of mine retired after 30+ years at Michigan State University. She was one of the first people I met when I arrived at MSU, not knowing anyone. She was both a mentor and friend. I wanted to send her off to the beach with a Sparty quilt. I used green and white charm squares to make the "S" and borders, then I found some MSU fabric for the border and backing. My local long-arm quilter had a wonderful Sparty design to finish it off. I am really pleased by how this turned out.

Varsity Blues

A quilt can make a great gift for a young man graduating from high school. When his favorite colors are red, white, and blue, it can be a little more challenging to find a project that looks great without looking too patriotic (not that there's anything wrong with that!). This was a different take on a disappearing nine patch that I decided to play with, and I was very pleased how well it turned out.

Ajax FC (Soccer)

A friend and colleague is a major fan of this team. He posted one of their ads announcing a game and it struck me that I could replicate it with charm squares. He was thrilled when I gave it to him. I did ditch quilting and used a grunge basic on the back.

Scrappy Warm Wishes

I am trying to use as many 5" squares of donated fabric as I can using different layouts to do it. I hope a child likes it!

Great way to use a Charm Pack to make a good sized quilt. Loved this tutorial/Block Magazine pattern.

Oh My Stars 1 & 2

My local quilt guild invited Pat Sloan to come talk in March. We were challenged at the February meeting to make one of these quilts by the time she came. I pulled charm packs and yardage from my stash, and couldn't decide which to make, so I made both. Both were quilted and bound in time for Pat's visit. The red charm pack was Hot Chilies Batiks by Island batik The blue charm pack was Clear Skies/ Fusions Bloom by Studio RK

A friend is having her first great grandchild in July. I had all the fabric in my stash to make her this cute baby quilt. I love it when that happens.

X and O's

I made this for my granddaughter for Valentine's day. I hope she has it forever to remind her how much I love her. I splurged and had this quilted. I don't normally do a solid back but I like how it shows off the quilting. One of Jenny's patterns.

quilt for Zoey

Just in work. It for my grand daughter Zoey. I hope not that it remains an UFO. It was an UFO for 3 years but now I want to finish it after I have found more fabric from Moda (kiss kiss) in Alaska. In Germany, although there are patchwork fabrics to buy but the selection in America is much larger. Moda Kiss Kiss Background Moda solids porcelain

Table Runner using Orange Peel

This table runner was created using four Orange Peel blocks. I find the orange peel blocks so FUN to make!

Fishing Quilt

This is another one for the nursing home bingo prizes. I wanted to make this one appealing to a gentleman, so it has fish in some of the blocks, the rest is a Behind the Scenes charm pack from Moda, and the sashings, backing and border fabrics are from my stash.

Another Bingo Prize

My aunt runs a bingo game for the residents of a local personal care home. Lap quilts are the 'cover all' prize, so I am busy keeping her in prizes! This is a simple charms quilt, and I was able to practice my free-motion skills.
