This was the first quilt I made using a Missouri Star pattern by Jenny. In many ways it was my first quilt, not counting the small one I made in the "how to" class, or the actual first one that had no matching required at all.

"I'm sorry, Dave . . ."

HAL 9000, from Arthur Clarke's book/movie, "2001: A Space Odyssey," just seemed to be the perfect match for my next "I Walked the Line" No. 11, quilting challenge. I wanted to do another PAYG (Piece As You Go) quilt using hexagons, and this time I used Leah Day's "super spiral" method from her book "EXPLORE Walking Foot Quilting. Instead of doing a spiral though, I quilted a hexagon spiral-type shape around HAL. I love the look of the hexagon spiral (and HAL!) and plan to make a larger quilt like this one using the same quilting method.

A Little Bit Wonky

This is No. 8 of my walking-foot challenge. After struggling with my HST quilt, I decided I needed something fun to make. . . and these were very fun to make! First I straight lined stitched the background, then appliqued the wonky boxes and then I just wonky stitched at random the individual boxes themselves.

Walking For My Heart

I Walked The Line Challenge No. 4 0f 52; There was definitely a lot of walking in this mini quilt! This is called Matchstick Quilting that I learned with Jacquie Gering's book, "Walk: Master Machine Quilting with Your Walking Foot". The quilting is 1/8" apart and definitely required "walking" with the walking foot (and 2 bobbins full of thread . . . lol)!

I Walked the Line No. 1 of 52

This new year, 2021, I have challenged myself to learn more walking-foot quilting. My challenge is to create 52 mini quilts, no bigger than 12" x 12", with each one quilted with a different walking-foot design. My goal is to create one mini quilt per week plus keeping a weekly "blog" (journal) of my quilts in a 12" x 12" binder. Some of the mini quilts I will probably give away, others I will keep. My final goal is that by the time I reach the end of the year I will have designed and quilted several mini whole-cloth quilts

Masks of 2020

During the strange days of Covid 19, I have made mask after mask. My heart is full after receiving kind thank you notes and thank you packages. I greatly feel needed and appreciated. I hope all on Quilts by Me are staying safe and well.

Peggy's Quilt #33 - Mod Owls

This is my 33rd quilt. It’s a twin size at 62”W x 78”L before washing. The Mod Owls pattern is by Jenny Pedigo and Helen Robinson for Sew Kind of Wonderful. The kit was purchased from Missouri Star in July 2018 but I didn’t start sewing until May 2019, finishing in June 2019. The quilt and pillowcase are for my granddaughter Bennett Rose, for her 8th birthday in February 2020. This was fun to make because of the batik fabric and curved owls – my first effort at sewing curves. The free-motion long arm quilting was beautifully completed by Lyn Durbin. At my request, she used a darker thread so that the leaves and curls would show on the light batik background as well as the owl fabrics. My sister and I bought a set of books to go with this owl themed quilt. The series is Guardians of Ga’Hoole” by Kathryn Lasky. I hope the grandkids will enjoy sitting under the owl quilt reading owl stories. Posted by Peggy at Bothtwins on February 5, 2020.

Santa’s Letter Ornament

I started a tradition on Christmas Eve 2019. Everyone in my family found Santa’s Letter on the tree. The letter actually is an envelope that Santa can drop a note, money, or candy in. I don’t have grandchildren yet but this was fun anyways.

Little Yeti

I tried to make a stuffed toy before Christmas. This little Yeti was stuffed with quilt batting and sewed closed by hand. My twenty-seven year old daughter fell in love with him. I think I’ll make more!
