    Boys and their toys

    I saw this fabric panel and co-ordinating fabric on MSQC and just had to have it. I thought it would be a fab quilt for my truck obsessed 4 year old son. I finished it and had my mum and dad quilt it a couple of days ago and I finished the binding tonight. It's already on his bed and he loves it. Made July 2015.

  • Blue Ridge 1600 Florida Style
    Blue Ridge 1600 Florida Style

    I wanted to try my hand at machine quilting, so my husband bought me my first sewing machine, a manual Brother. A friend recommended I watch the jelly roll race on You Tube. I did. I decided I was going to make my very first machine quilt for my mom, who lives in northern Florida. I found a jelly roll that sang Florida and my mom, and set out to finish my very first machine pieced and quilted quilt. I had not learned how to use my quilting foot or how to do free motion, so my quilting is straight line. I had also not learned how to do bindings very well, but my mom loved it and uses it all the time.

  • Jelly Roll Braid
    Jelly Roll Braid

    After being asked by a friend if I knew how to make a braid quilt, I googled it and this is the result. After making one braid I had plenty of fabric left in the jelly roll so used black yardage and made it up as I went along. This is only the flimsy and will be backed with a minky blanket I have and bound with a scrappy binding made with left overs from the jelly roll. The quilt is a snuggle quilt for my daughter for when she is up at the crack of dawn feeding the baby and will finish at about 52" x 70". I think the jelly roll was from Moda and I used this tutorial for the braid http://reannalilydesigns.com/2009/06/the-batik-braid-quilt-tutorial/

    I've always enjoyed working with black and white with pops of bright color. This modern pattern caught my eye at one of my favorite local quilt shops. Easy to piece.

  • Pieced Geese
    Pieced Geese

    I received a box of fabric from a colleague. It contained leftover pieces from projects that she has taught with high school students. Most of the pieces were irregular 1" strips. What to do with small pieces? A surfing expedition lead me to a version of "Geese Migration" (designed by Cynthia Brunz, and originally published by Quilty) on the SewMamaSew blog. I didn't have large enough pieces for the original pattern, so I used it as inspiration to design my own. The part that is shown above will finish to a 9" square. I will rotate four of these to make the block according the the diagram below.

  • Custom HST Lap Quilt
    Custom HST Lap Quilt

    This quilt is in memory of my customer's daughter who passed away two years ago. She was a paramedic who loved children, as testified by the fun prints on her scrubs. My customer's choice of half-square triangles with bright fabrics was perfect! This quilt is for my customer's son-in-law who lost his wife, so the backing is a masculine navy blue. Quilt Stats: Pattern: Half-square triangles; Size: Lap size 58" x 74"; Fabric: Customer-supplied medical scrubs with Kona White; Batting: 100% cotton; Backing: Riley Blake Cotton Solid in Navy; Quilting: Allover medium meander in white polyester thread on Mrs.Singer, my antique 31-15; Binding: Riley Blake Cotton Solid in Navy; Label: Custom label; Value: Memorable!
