QuiltsBy.me

I have loved the idea of a bookcase quilt from the moment I first saw a photo of one. This "bookcase" represents me; my interests and memories from childhood to now and also my love of quilting and books. Some book bindings are labeled with numbers/letters that only I recognize and understand. My two sons really love this quilt and rather than have them get into a "discussion" over who should get it one day in the far future (I hope) I decided to make a second one that will be as close to identical to this one as I can get so that one day they will both have one along with a note explaining all the book bindings. It was a project of love and I enjoyed every minute I spent creating it. BTW - I designed, pieced and put the binding on it but I sent it out for the actual quilting. They did a fabulous job and I feel their finishing touches truly made this quilt unique and in my eyes, an heirloom.

Magic Carpet Ride

I made this quilt for my in-laws' place in Florida. The pattern is called Magic Carpet Ride. The original quilt was on a dark background. I think that showed the "floating" nature of this pattern better than what I made, but all-in-all it turned out alright.

Black and white photo quilt

I made this quilt for my boss for her retirement. She was the Chief Flight Nurse for many years with the Air Medical company I fly with. I printed black and photos of her, coworkers, the helicopters, and scenes that she responded to. Our helicopters we fly in are red, white, and black so I added the red sashing which really made everything pop. I love the way this turned out and I know it is something she will cherish.

Strip and flip baby quilt

This was a baby quilt I made for friends who had tried long and hard to get pregnant. As my husband and I also went through many years of infertility, I was thrilled when they found out they were pregnant. I don't usually love large print fabrics but these were gorgeous! This was all done in tones of turquoise and orange to match her nursery.

dizzy daisy

It was my therapy after I lost my partner in May. It helped me with my grieving and kept me busy while I was trying to get over my loss. He had been sick for several years with different illnesses and quilting helped me along our journey. This pattern was one of Jenny's via her tutorial, thanks Jenny Doan

Insomnia

This mini quilt was made for the Curated Quilts log cabin mini quilt challenge and is 16" x 16". I named it Insomnia because my daughter crawled into bed with me one night around 3am and after trying to fall back to sleep for an hour I motivated myself enough to go to my sewing room and whip up this mini quilt top. Later that same day I headed out on a week long camping trip. The time away helped me pick a quilting design and when I got back I finished it up.

Starry, Starry Night

This is a variation of Jenny's rising star pattern. When I asked the couple who I'm giving it to what colors I should use they said neutrals, well, this is about as neutral as I can get.
