    Scrappy Patches, 7 Sizes, Jelly Roll, FQ, Yardage

    This is a twin quilt in Scrappy Patches using two Mojito jelly rolls. I like the look of a scrappy quilt, but I want to know that my pieces fit together without scratching my head, trying to figure out how to get the puzzle into the size of quilt I'm after. My intention with Scrappy Patches was make a quilt that looked like I randomly sewed strips together when there was actually a plan in place. She fits the bill! Scrappy Patches comes in 7 sizes from wall hanging to king and is jelly roll, fat quarter, and yardage friendly! You'll also be happy to know there are very few seams to match!

    In God We Trust

    My sister, Marilyn's grandchild is getting married. I found out in April 2016 for a June wedding. Her grandchild, Chris is a military man like his father. I thought this would be a perfect time to make a Flag Rag Quilt. With extra fabric I made the red, white, and blue pillows for a finished look. This was a real pleasure to make. It just fills you with so much patriotism, everyone needs to make at least one of these quilts. What did I learn? - Fleece is great for tying a quilt but not for sewing four layers. (( I think I broke my tension dial on my sewing machine. )) Next time, I'll make my rag quilt with Flannel Fabric.

    I'd watched the tutorial on this quilt several times. I had been online looking for a jelly roll to use and wasn't sure which one to pick. The weekend rolled around and I didn't have a project to work on and had not ordered a jelly roll so I started looking through my fabric and decided that I had more than enough material in my scraps to complete the quilt. I've never made a scrappy quilt as I'm pretty particular about the fabrics I use together. My mom and friends make fun of me because it takes me so long to decide on fabric because I don't want to make the wrong decision. In the end I decided to use the scraps and really thought that I wouldn't like the end result but it gave me a project...little did I know that I'd end up loving the quilt and using it on my bed.

    I made this wedding ring quilt for my eldest daughter for Christmas. It features an assortment of Halloween prints, as she was married on Halloween. I hand-quilted using a silver thread in a spider web pattern.

  • Summer in the Park
    Summer in the Park

    When I took my first quilting course in April 2015, I would go downstairs at my LQS. That where the 50% fabrics are put when they get new shipments and need more space upstairs. I just fell in love with a line of fabric called Fleurologie. So much so I bought entire left over bolts of the entire line. I probably had about 18 metres. I waited until the fabrics told me what they would like to become. Then I found the MSQC tutorial for Summer in the park. So on a Monday, I cut up about 8 yards of fabrics into 2 1/2" strips. Then I started sewing together. It went quite fast and by the end of the week I had the top pieced. I just had to find the perfect border fabric, which I did. I also pieced the back with the remaining fabrics, even using the end pieces of the cut trips to make a border in the backing. I do this with all my quilt, so that when you turn down the quilt at night, you see some of the front. I still need to quilt it, but want to wait as I want to take a course with LQS to quilt on long arm. Then I can rent time and make myself. I want to go from only being a topper to a quilter for queen and king size quilts.

  • Scrap Quilt
    Scrap Quilt

    I started this quilt before I saw Jenny's tutorial and realized her method was better than mine. So I ripped blocks apart and started over. I put the entire quilt together and learned my black sashing and borders had stretched. I couldn't handle how it looked so I ripped the quilt apart by blocks. Built it once more and I am thrilled. It took way longer than it should have but it's mine.

  • The UGLY Quilt
    The UGLY Quilt

    I had all of these extra blocks and partial blocks and pieces hanging around from the over 200 quilts made by me since 1995. I decided to put them all together in a crazy ugly quilt that would only be seen by me. To my surprise, it was a hit with my grandchildren who proudly pointed out the pieces they recognized from their quilts I made and now they fight over who gets to use it! It's also become my favorite cuddle quilt when I watch TV!

    Biblical Quilt

    These are quilts that I have made over the years for various family members. This quilt in particular was made for our church when it moved to it's own building. A dear dear friend helped in making this both in hand piecing and hand quilting. I have been quilting many things for many years as well as my dear friend but I don't know how much longer I will be able to continue due to my advancing arthritis so I do as much as I can to leave a legacy for my friends, children and children's children. I have enjoyed every minute I've spent doing these quilts.....Enjoy

    I made this for my dad. It's an easy log cabin...the cheating way. I found that taking a picture helped me to see the contrast and where I needed to flip my blocks. These pictures are before I adjusted and put the blocks together.

  • Kathryn's
    Kathryn's "K" and "R" Flannel Quilts

    I collected a bunch of yellow, turquoise & green flannel fabrics to make a rag quilt for my oldest. I wanted to make it VERY special, so I cut 6" squares. Since I had varying number of squares and I wanted to make this a quilt just for her, I used graph paper to "chart out" where each fabric would be in the quilt. I designed the quilt so that there is an "K" in the middle of the quilt. The charting took some time, but we are all pleased with the result. Since I had so many squares left over and she didn't want to take this quilt to camp to "give away" her real name, I made a quilt with an "R" in it for Raccoon - her camp name. The quilt is backed in Raccoon fabric from the backyard Bandits line.
