  • Fruit of the Spirit
    Fruit of the Spirit

    I made this quilt for my Mom as a Christmas present. Will give it to her this year 2016. I happened to see the fruit of the spirit fabric while in Montana last summer and immediately thought of my Mom. She has always been a big spiritual example in my life and it is impossible to have a conversation with her without hearing her giving praise to God. It took a long time to find fabric that matched that color of purple and gold. Wow... lot harder than I thought it would be. It wasn't until I saw the tutorial for the studio star that a pattern popped into my head. I used the tutorial for that star and then finished it with the sashing and alternating the squares. I can't wait to give it to her this year. :-)

  • Little Flags
    Little Flags

    I made this small flag quilt for the Navy Wounded Warrior program. The pattern was in a magazine, but I cut the pattern out and tossed the magazine. It is a great way to use up small scraps. Pieces are 1 1/2" wide and just 6 inches long. Just so happens I have a whole basket of this size pieces of red, white, and blue fabric. I hope the veteran who receives this quilt knows how much I care and appreciate his or her service.

  • Ribbon Homes
    Ribbon Homes

    I just learned how to do silk ribbon embroidery, and just love what you can do to a quilt. I found this older pattern by Piecemakers and picked out my favorite homes to work on. Not a very usable quilt, it will look great hanging on an old rocking chair in my living room.

  • Another Hourglass
    Another Hourglass

    For this hourglass block quilt, I used yellow, black and gray squares and some left over strips from a jellyroll. Quick and fun block to make. If you haven't seen Jenny's quick hourglass tutorial, go watch it!

  • Busby Berkeley Inspired Popsicles
    Busby Berkeley Inspired Popsicles

    I designed this Popsicle block after seeing a promo email from craftsy.com that featured popsicles. When it came time to layout my quilt top I couldn't get Busby Berkeley choreography out of my head so just went with it. One Popsicle block is close to 11.5" square so the quilt top is roughly 57 x 68. www.quiltachusetts.com

  • Merry Go Round Quilt
    Merry Go Round Quilt

    A friend and I were shopping at MSQC and decided we wanted a challenge to use a fabric we would typically never use. We found the perfect orange batik! I finally got my quilt completed. I am so happy with it. Collis Country Quilting did a beautiful job on the quilting!

  • Lisa's wedding quilt
    Lisa's wedding quilt

    I made this quilt for my daughter Holly's friend, Lisa Miller, who got married yesterday. She was very definitive about what she didn't want--no pinks and no yellows. I found a pattern at Modern Quilts Illustrated called Stacks. I ordered the quilt kit and started work on it at a quilt retreat in May. I made a mistake in placing the pieces so I had to redo part of it. I knew the wedding was in August so I was under the gun to get it done and sent off to be quilted. Thanks to Missouri Star, I got a wonderful quilt finish and it was packed up and given at the reception yesterday.

  • Wedding Gift
    Wedding Gift

    This quilt was made for a couple who enjoys muted colors in their home so their home can be highlighted with contemporary art. Grunge fabric used, which I interpreted as 'brushstrokes'.

  • Cristina's Quilt
    Cristina's Quilt

    This disappearing nine patch is for my sister in law, Cristina. She still has the Goth style and I thought the skull fabrics and herringbone were perfect. She also likes 1940's style and the red and white polka doted fabric just screams Cristina. She is also a nurse and I about fell on the floor when I saw the nurse cap fabric in the clearance pile at a local quilt shop. Perfect!!!! She is going to love this quilt and I can't wait to give it to her this 2016 Christmas.

    Pink Roses

    I just finished this small quilt for the volleyball ladies at my college's breast cancer awareness fundraiser. It was a kit I purchased last year and finally got around to putting it together. I hope the gals lIke it and they raise a good amount of money for their program. All money goes toward helping local women with cancer treatments.

  • Ford Farm Quilt
    Ford Farm Quilt

    This is a quilt I did for my Son as a Christmas gift in 2015. When I saw the panel in a shop while traveling the year before I knew it was perfect for my son who was 16 at the time. He is all about Fords, farming, tractors and he raises laying hens for eggs. I didn't have time to get it done that year for Christmas but the following summer while on vacation from work and he was working a summer job I was able to work on it. Just like I had hoped he loved it!
