Nana's Garden Basket Twin Quilt - an old-fashioned, timeless quilt! This project began as a quilt for my daughter, but after I made the quilt top, she decided it wasn't her style after all. This quilt was originally blogged in 2012. It took 2.5 years to piece the backing which took a total of 1.5 hours to complete! Sheesh!

Custom King Size Rainbow Sparkler Quilt

Meet Mr.Sparkles, a king-sized beauty! Oh, drat! Did you see the block that is turned wrong? Just kidding - they can be turned any direction and still be correct! Gotcha!! I love it all jumbled up. If I made this quilt for myself, I'd lay the blocks out totally random ... maybe ... if I had enough courage to break out of the expected! The quilt finished at 108" square and shrank to 104.5" x 106.5" when washed and dried in cool temperatures. This is not much shrinkage at all for this size of quilt. I've had queens shrink 5" each direction which is a big deal with today's thick mattresses where every inch of the quilt counts. This one likely didn't shrink "squarely" due to the pressure put on the quilt by the rollers in the quilting process when it is stretched in only one direction. I like the quilt top and backing snug when quilting.

Parallels Batik Table Runner

I completed a batik table runner as a birthday gift for my father-in-law's wife. The blues are so pretty together! It's a whopping 66" long which is perfect for their large table. The pattern is very simple to assemble - it's strips sewn together and then cut at an angle with sashing added. This is a Craftsy kit: http://bitly.com/ParallelsTableRunnerKit

Berenstain Bear Baby Quilt

Take a walk down memory lane with this special Berenstain Bears quilt! We've all enjoyed the classic stories of Papa and Mama Bear with Brother and Sister Bear. I remember so well reading them to my own children, and we would have loved to have this quilt when they were little! That pile of books is part of the small collection of favorite books that we plan to keep for our grandbabies!

Custom Queen Postcard From Sweden

I've finished the custom queen-size Postcard From Sweden quilt! I made it in the original colors, following the layout exactly except in the rows I added. It's fantastic! I ♥ ♥ ♥ it, even more than the GRAVITY quilt that's on my bed, which says I love it to the sun and back since I love GRAVITY to the moon and back! Too bad I had to mail it off!

Miss Kate Curtains!

The first project in my Sewing For Me campaign is new dining room sliding glass door curtains. The previous curtains were in a log cabin pattern in deep reds and black and were very dark. They were very eye-catching but weren't my style anymore since I've moved away from primitive fabrics and decor. My husband suggested something brighter with yellow. I'm pretty sure they aren't what he had in mind, but I ♥ them! They are so bright and cheerful!

T-Shirt Quilt

One of my son's "brothers" from the fire station asked if I'd consider making a t-shirt quilt for him as a family heirloom to pass on to his son. I was proud to say "yes" and these are some of the shirts ready for placement.

Denim and Diamonds Lattice

I had a few yards of a pretty pansies print which I thought reminded me of a garden. I wanted lattice, but not squares, so I used my Super Hexi Ruler to create 5 1/2'' diamonds. I then sashed it with 1 1/2'' lattice denim coloured fabric. I did not want this quilt to scream, since the pansies were so delicate. Since I am new to quilting, it was challenging to work with biased cut diamonds, to match lattice work. I persevered but it only took me roughly 10 days to complete and quilt. It measures 55'' x 70''. Since I consider many of my first quilts, as practise quilts, I may see if there is any interest to sell this one. If not, it will be gifted.

Baby girl quilt

This a quilt that I made for a grand-daughter to be born mid-November. I would have liked to personalize with her name, but as always, my daughter doesn't reveal the name they have selected until it is born. Cassandra is now born on November 4th, so I have been able to add a label and gift it.

Thank You For Your Service

This is an Honor Quilt that I designed using EQ7. I wanted to have a lot of varied block types and sizes in this quilt to make this quilt very interesting and offer many forms of quilting. I also wanted to make sure I had plenty of center space to do what I love best - free motion quilting. I digitized the lettering on the scroll below the eagle stitched it out on my Brother Quattro embroidery machine. This quilt, which will be donated to a deserving unknown veteran at Walter Reed Hospital, measures 72" x 86" and was quilted on my Baby Lock Tiara. The center United States Seal is all trapunto work under the eagle, olive branches, arrows, scroll and stars. It was painted after the entire quilt was completed and laundered using paints by Jacquard. This was definitely a labor of love!
