QuiltsBy.me

I made this quilt for a dear friend of mine. We've been friends for over 30 years. We live far away now but whenever we talk it's like we saw each other yesterday. Her favorite color is pink. I had the Fruitful Pleasures layer cake pack I purchased from a Daily Deal so I went in search of a pattern. I ended up using Jenny's Calico Star pattern and omitted the sashing between the blocks. It created secondary designs, which was a happy surprise. She received it in the mail yesterday and called me, crying. I'm glad she loved it.

Rescue Quilt

This is the second quilt I have made and donated to an animal rescue that I support. They will be raffling it off later this spring as a fundraiser. I used batiks and solid black. I love the way black makes batiks pop. I used MSQ's T-block pattern, but I assembled the blocks differently to see how it would look. I really like how it turned out. This one was hard to part with.

Red Study

I wanted to make my cousins wife something and learned that she likes red. I saw a MSQC tutorial that used the Crazier Eights templates (so, of course, I had to purchase them), and decided that this would be a great idea for her gift. Anyway, I tend to favor smaller items, so I chose to make five blocks of each color in the layer cake; this provided a total of 20 small blocks. After sewing four blocks to make larger designs, I chose one to use to audition my methods for the final project. I learned that, by turning the four smaller blocks before sewing them into a larger block, one can create a small star, a large star, a small pinwheel, and a large pinwheel. Anyway, this is my sample/audition wall hanging for a larger project. NOTE: I used a heavier weight thread for the decorative stitching and also stitched corners onto the back so that I could use them to insert a dowel for hanging.

Disappearing Hourglass Crazy Eight

After seeing the tutorial, I knew I had to make this pattern. I had a layer cake that was just begging to be used.

Wedged Diamond

Made this quilt for my daughter, I didn't do much quilting on it because I used a higher loft batting and wanted to keep the puffiness. I love the soft yet bold colors. I decided to go with the no-binding method, but I have to say I don't care for that method.

I Spy Jar Quilt

I made this I Spy Jar Quilt from a Jenny Doan tutorial for a Doctor's little boy. A second brother really admired it and when I found out they were sharing the quilt, I made a second one using different novelty fabrics. I used mostly a layer cake of novelty fabrics by Robert Kaufman and cut them into 5 inch squares.

Night Sky

When one of your very best friends is getting married, you know you have to make a quilt. Katie and Andy have been together many years, and despite efforts to get her to say yes, Katie never did in fear of her health condition getting the worst of her. In 2019, Andy surprised Katie after getting home from an evening with us. He had twinkle lights hanging from a tree with pictures of the two of them suspended on twine. Andy had the ring in his pocket the whole night. When they arrived home, he asked her to go on a walk with him as they often did. Katie almost said no to the walk. When they approached the tree, Andy turned the lights on by remote, pulled out the ring, and she said yes. Their wedding was planned for 10/10/2020 because of the uniqueness of the date. Their theme: A fall outdoor wedding with the reception in their empty barn. The moment I watched the Night Sky tutorial, I knew I had to make this quilt for them as their wedding gift. The name reminded me of the night Andy proposed under a clear, starry sky and twinkle lights. I chose an end of summer/early fall fabric collection, Last Bloom by Sandy Gervais for Moda. It was the perfect combination to represent their engagement and their marriage.

Bees R Us

My youngest daughter's tastes tend toward black. I saw "A Bee's Life" fabric (MSQ daily deal) and had to get it. Then I wasn't sure what patten to use. I decided on the Building Block pattern. This would be my third in this pattern. I made it for her birthday in August and she loved it.

Meet in the Middle

This quilt pattern is so simple but with so many possibilities. I have had fun playing with row arrangement and color variations.

Black and White

Quilt #21 My son came to me one day and asked for another quilt. Black and white, he says, squares. Whaaaaa? Can it be prints, at least? No. Plain old black and plain old white. Oh, says I, like a laundry room floor? Exactly. So I bought two 10" layer cakes, planned for 9 across and 9 down, 88" square for his queen-size bed, and started it at our retreat in Poulsbo, WA, noon on Jan 21, 2020. Finished sewing 9 hours later, which included time for lunch and dinner. Great retreat project. Quilting is large meander by Camlyn Quilts in Smokey Point, WA. This is his summer quilt, with a bleached cotton batting and white muslin backing. He bought sheets to match. Black, of course. He's so adorable. I gave it to him for his 50th birthday in June, 2020. He loves it. Posted 113020.
