So what do you when you plan to make a quilt which calls for 45 degree triangles and you almost finish cutting fabric only to realize that you have been using a 60 degree ruler? You make lemonade. With equilateral triangles it was easy to put the them together in a zigzag pattern. I like the way it turned out even if it was not what I had planned. I quilted it using a pantograph on a long arm. My brother grabbed it!

Midnight Beauty

Update: I quilted with Wasatch design called Opus and finished hand bounding. This is Bonnie Hunter's "Blue Ridge Beauty" pattern that I'm making as a retirement gift for a friend. I named it Midnight Beauty. I used RJR Bare Essentials Deluxe fabric and Maywood Studios "In the Black" fat quarters. 76" x 92"

NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA Batman

I just picked my Batman quilt up from my friend who did a Fabulous job custom quilting it with Bat signal, Gotham City landscape, and comic book sayings, - Kapow, Bam, and zap. I bordered this Batman panel with the 5 inch version of MSQC Big Stars pattern. I origianlly bought this panel to make a quilt for my nephew, but I didn't get the quilt made before his favorite character changed to Spiderman. I made him a Spiderman quilt instead.

Bee Quilt “Warms my Heart”

July 3, 2018 was the anniversary day of cancer free for one year. I received a photo that afternoon of my friend, a cancer survivor, giving a gift to this young lady. Yes, it was the Bee Quilt I had finished. I was asked to make a quilt label saying “New” and the date. This year the the word for her journey is “New”. I was so proud to be a part of the celebration and I will get to meet her on the 15th of this month. Yes, my heart is full and more than ever I feel this is the reason I quilt.

Bee Project VIII & Final

I am so thrilled my high school friend from way back asked if she could purchase the Bee Quilt to give to a cancer survivor. She gave me so many compliments and told me the quilt spoke to her. We can't wait for this brave friend to receive the Bee Quilt!

Bee Project VI

I felt I needed to add some large bees and flowers to finish the quilt top. I took some of my miniature templates and just started inventing my own patterns.

Aunt Dot's Scotty Disappearing Hourglass quilt

I made this quilt for my friend for her 70th birthday. She was an adopted grandmother for my children. My friend always liked Scotty dogs, so I used Scotty fabric for her quilt.

Colorful Hunter's Star

I made this colorful Hunter's Star quilt for a friend of mine, when she said that she liked this digitally printed fabric collection. I added colorful batiks to it. I like colorful quilts. She has the quilt on her guest bed.

True Blue in Green

The True Blue pattern is in Miss Rosie's Spice of Life Quilts by Carrie L. Nelson, a Leisure Arts book published in 2010. This is my 3rd quilt, which I started July 19, 2015 and finished piecing on Sept 13, 2015. I used Hobbs Heirloom 100% cotton batt and the backing is 108" wide Clara's Garden in the color Basil. Quilted by Lyn at Camlyn Quilts, finished size 80 X 80". I made 4 pillow cases to match. I really wanted a green quilt for my last quilting project because green is my favorite color and who needs more than 3 quilts? (I'm a knitter and a spinner, and this quilting thing is just a hobby-bump-in-the-road, right?) I enjoyed this pattern a lot and learned how to piece tinier pieces than on my first 2 quilts, although not perfectly. I look at it now and wonder why it was ok to not fix some of the points of the pinwheels when I had the chance. I know Jenny says "better done than perfect" but I'm sure "could have been better, if not perfect" is the way I want to go. I don't care how long it takes me to make a quilt top, as it's the only one I'm working on anyway so I have the time. "One project at a time" is my motto! This doesn't mean I don't have fabric for future projects, just that I don't start more than one. (There's a cautionary knitting tale there, one involving 17 ufo's.) I'm loving the scrappy look of my first 3 quilts. Posted 05-23-18.

Star Light

Found this pattern in a McCalls quilting magazine and just loved it. I wanted to make it in the same colors used in the magazine. I was able to use fat quarters from my stash and the red was left over from another quilt. Only had to buy border fabric and backing. Had it longarm qullted.

Dad's Quilt

My father paints and he really loves color and he is very persnickity about something being truly beautiful or not. I went to my local fabric shop TN Quilts in Jonesborough, TN and I had in mind to make him a circle quilt but needed about 42 different fat quarters in all different colors. I chose batiks and they have several fat quarter bins to choose from. He loved his quilt and said it looked like silks to him. He did not know about batiks so I had to explain them.
