  • I SPY for Madison
    I SPY for Madison

    My high school best friend's DIL had her first child, a little girl, and I wanted to make a quilt that would go and grow with her. I have been wanting to try an I Spy quilt and decided that this was the perfect opportunity. I used a variety of scraps, I spy, and fun material for the 5x5 blocks. It turned out crib or car size 34 x 40 inches. FMQ on my home machine. I used the disappearing 9 patch method to make the pattern. It was fun and fast.

  • Qbert - Arcade Game
    Qbert - Arcade Game

    I attended a class on this pattern (Arcade Game by Jaybird Quilts) on Saturday, July 23. I left with the sidekick ruler, fabric (a pre-packaged set of Kona solids) and pattern. I cut it out that evening and put it together on Sunday, July 24. I found the backing fabric at the quilt shop the following Tuesday, and ended up dropping the quilt off at my favorite long armer in early August. They used a different quilting motif for each color block, repeating it throughout the quilt. It’s great!

  • Spools
    Spools

    I used a traditional spool block to showcase various sewing-themed novelty fabrics. I meant for the quilting to resemble strands of looped thread but it ended up looking more like stipple get. I didon't my stitching too close and small. All done by hand.

  • Scrappy Pumpkins
    Scrappy Pumpkins

    I kept seeing such cute pumpkin quilts online and on Instagram and I knew I had to make one too- we just moved into a new town and we are really sprucing our our new house. I found this pattern on Craftsy, by Must Love Quilts. I added 2.5in sashing and a 5.5in border. I used some of my stash fabric and I bought more from my LQS. On my pieced backing, I stitched down some of the selvedges I used. I absolutely love how this turned out and it's perfect for keeping warm all autumn long!

  • Halloween
    Halloween

    I had several Halloween fats without a pattern. Then I saw this pumpkin block that would be perfect for my fatties. The Log Cabin is my fav block so I whipped up a wall hanging & several mug rugs for friends. Fun, quick & easy quilting.

  • In Need of a Kiss
    In Need of a Kiss

    I made this for my Guild's "Kiss a Frog Challenge" for our September 2016 Quilt Show. Those who took on the challenge were given 3 "ugly" fabrics to make into something beautiful. We were allowed to add up to 3 other fabrics, and the finished quilt could measure no more than 24 inches square. I took the challenge literally and went with the Frog Prince theme, using the blue print for the flower pot and half the petals, the red for flower petals, and the yellow for the flower center and the frog's crown. I added a brown on brown print for the dirt, green for the frog and flower stem and leaf, and a white on white for the background.
