QuiltsBy.me

After the orange Irish chain I figured, why not make another one! This one is a wedding gift for my step-daughter and new husband. She's from Seattle and he is British, so I had a lot of fun hunting for Seattle and British themed fabrics. I tried to fussy cut some of them, a little hard to do with a 2 1/2 inch squares. I hope they like it!

Kenyan Missionaries Album CRAZY EIGHTS Quilt

This quilt was from a pattern I found online. I found the fabric on the sale pile in Ben Franklin in Winterset ,IA (home of Fons and Porter). This is a real old fashioned store where it is like walking back into the 40's! They have great fabric there. I did not know what to do with the quilt top and it layed around my home for a while. One day it was just like God put in my mind to make it up for 2 young missionaries in Kenya- a new female Dr and nurse doctorate team who are married. They work in a hospital in Chogoria. My thoughts also told me to have the entire church sign it in those blank white squares- they were just calling out for signatures. When Nathan and Amy came in for Christmas they were presented with the big surprise and Amy said there were times when she had in her mind that we all must just forget about them...being so far away and gone from our sight.... The church was so enthusiastic when they each signed the quilt to. It was signed when it was just individual squares and made a great Album quilt! It is now on their bed in Kenya. I found out afterwards that Amy likes red! Truly a meant to be gift.

Shadowbox

I received the main fabric from one of my closest friends. I decided to make a quilt for my Mother's 70th birthday.

Rescue Quilt

I have a friend that loves to shop at Estate Sales. She found this quilt still on a quilting frame...the piecing was done...all by hand....but the hand quilting was only partially done.It looked like she was using up her stash with all the applique. I found a local quilt group who does hand quilting. They finished the quilting then I sewed by hand the binding. Unbelievable that the family did not want this. I donated the quilt frame to the group. It's now a lovely edition to my guest bedroom.

God's Eye in Jenny's Rose Garden

I took MSQC pattern Rose Garden and added a large God's Eye block in center. I had to modify original 5" blocks to 6.5" that I cut out of Nova Layer cake. Did it all on graph paper and figured out how many of each block I needed to make. Used the Magic 8 way to make 8 at a time half square triangles.

A New Baby!

A first grandchild for a family friend. This will go beyond the baby years and can be a lap quilt for baby as he grows into a toddler.

Glacier Pines

This is a Judy Neimeyer pattern and is all paper-pieced...except for the appliqué pieces. It was my first real attempt at paper piecing and it was challenging. I love how it turned out. I want to do some fancier quilting on it than I can do on my domestic machine. So I’m hoping to have access to a long arm some day. I believe this is one that I won’t be giving away! Lol

Peggy's Quilt #31 - Hawaiian Shirt Quilt

This is Moda's Collection for a Cause 'Sunshine' quilt, but I call it my Hawaiian Shirt Quilt. It has 3 additional borders with a finished size of 82"x85". I cut the fabric for this quilt in September 2018 but put off piecing it until a Quilt Retreat in January 2019. It took a pretty long time at the long-arm quilters, but the binding was finished in early May. Then I decided to add little teeny buttons to each shirt, so we have free-standing shirt collars AND buttons - pretty unusual for a quilt. I hope to donate it for a fund raising auction next year. By that time, there will be pillowcases to match. I love quilting! Posted 06/23/19 Edited the next day: a neighbor's MIL suggested making flannel shirts for her Minnesota husband, and perhaps plaids and stripes for business shirts for her Accountant son. I think this quilt has many possible hacks!

Another Moda Love Quilt

I love this pattern-it’s my go to quilt pattern when I need a quilting gift in a short timeframe! I made a quilt for my daughter using this pattern (it’s posted on the site) and she liked it so much she asked me to make one for two of her friends who are getting married. She picked the fabrics based on their wedding colors. We thought it was especially appropriate for the wedding since it’s called the Love quilt. She requested the same dense, straight line quilting that I did on her quilt.

First Double Wedding Ring Quilt III

I did not know the end of this quilt journey would be so emotional. Thank you for all of your sweet comments. I wanted to share the photo my baby brother just posted all the way from Zimbabwe. He travels to Africa about 3 times a year for missions work and this beautiful couple takes care of him while he visits. They have been married almost a year and now they have the quilt in their hands. My heart is full and happy tears keep flowing. I am not an artist, and am fairly new at quilting. My brother and I put ideas together and he counted on me to select prints, colors, and designs. I started adding my own spin on the intertwining flowers and vines. I couldn’t fmq feathers for the quilting design because my brain would not work with my hand motion so I just made up the design as I went along. I was fatigued after an unexpected surgery but had to finish to make a deadline. My husband helped me take photos and fed ex the quilt to Texas so that it could then be put in a suitcase headed overseas. I will never forget this journey and love this couples smile in the photo. I am taking a break. It may be a long break. So thank you everyone on this app for being positive and cheering me on. P

Monochrome with a touch of red

Years ago, I made a quilt for my niece, one of my first quilts. Her response, when she received it was "well, its very PINK". I learned that my niece is not a girly-girl, and decided to update her quilt when she turned 18. Pattern used was the Solstice Quilt Sew along from Pat Sloan, the first time I have committed myself to a weekly project. I changed a few minor things, to give the quilt a slightly more modern character.

Scrappy nine patch and hourglass

Update: I just finished hand binding after I FMQ swirls (first time on a longarm) on my friend's longarm. I just finished this quilt top for my friend/neighbor's daughter for high school graduation. I used blue, purple, and green fabric (her favorite colors). I used fabric scraps to make a string border. 80 x 96" I'm going to quilt it with my friend's help on her longarm tomorrow.

Sonora: A Contemporary Southwestern Quilt

I saw this quilt on display at a quilt show in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I thought it was quite striking! The quilt was designed by J. Michelle Watts (www.jmichellewatts.com). The pattern includes three sizes and two different options for making a six color quilt or a two color quilt. I really like working with half square triangles and this pattern is fun to do. I used Modern Wave 3 from Urban Elementz as the edge to edge quilting design.
