  • Bird quilt
    Bird quilt

    I made this quilt for my father for his 75th birthday. He has a bird feeder and these are many of the birds he gets there in New England. It is all foundation pieced using the patterns from Backyard Bird Quilts by Jodie Davis.

    Baby Boom Production

    I love to relax with redwork projects, but this (these I actually made three!) was not so very relaxing as we got news of three great nieces and a nephew all arriving imminently, still it was great fun, very satisfying and I got them done in time

    This was my first baby quilt. I used a kit and a friend helped me with the cutting etc. Very pleased how it used out. This was for my second granddaughter. It was backed with minky fabric.

  • In God We Trust
    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.

  • There Will Be No More Talk About Yo-yos
    There Will Be No More Talk About Yo-yos

    About three years ago my Guild's President's Challenge was to create a quilt with a rainbow hiding in plain sight. The yo-yo circles were stitched, by machine, to the quilt sandwich BEFORE they were drawn up into yo-yos. This created the actual quilting that looks like bubbles on the quilt back.. On the back I also added a few miscellaneous circles as if they were being pulled through the quilt sandwich to become more yo-yos. The quilt was the only double award winner, taking Viewer's Choice & Best Contemporary Interpretation of a Traditional Design. As an added nod, it was selected to be included as one of the quilts pictured in a set of note cards published by the Guild this past year.

  • Serendipity for Quilts of Valor
    Serendipity for Quilts of Valor

    This was a pattern I wanted to try for donating to my quilt of valor group. I had a pack of 10" squares and thought I had enough till I got to laying them out. I was short about 12 more squares so I dived into my stash and wanted to accent more of the yellow, blue, and greens for this quilt. The 2 1/2" strips I used were leftover strips from previous projects and also included strips pieces. I did have to cut a few strips from my stash. toward the end In order complete all my squares. For Quilts of Valor the top has to be within certain demensions to be accepted. These colors are also a little less than traditional since I did not stick to the traditional, white, blue and or cream. This quilt measures 60 by 80. I also enjoyed the way little diamonds appear in the blocks as well as the X's and O's with some of the blocks, some of the o's came out with an hourglass design and a few as an envelope block. The bonus from using this pattern is I also have enough squares to do a second quilt with a cute pinwheel.

  • A Mum for a Mum Bars Quilt
    A Mum for a Mum Bars Quilt

    For Christmas last year my youngest sister got a jelly roll with this pretty fabric. I did not know what to do with it for sometime until I saw the pretty fabric I used as sashing. After I had a clear vision I put this together and gave it to her for her birthday. I used my DZ820E to do the flowerly stitching.

    This beautiful fabric is from the Kaffe Fassett collection. It has many many different fabrics and tons of fussy cut pieces. Pictures do not really capture the beauty of this fabric.

    Charley's Baby Quilt

    I made this quilt for my second grandchild, Charley. It is an alphabet quilt made by freeform piecing. It was a bit of a challenge to get the blocks all the same size!

    I made Rootbeer Float while testing my Granny's Square Patch pattern. It didn't quite make the cover of the pattern! Granny's Square Patch has instructions for 6 sizes from Baby to King! It's a twist on an old-fashioned favorite. Buy your pattern today! http://bitly.com/BusyHandsQuiltsPatternShop
