This is for my oldest granddaughter. When she was born I told everyone, even complete strangers, that she was perfect. She was and still is perfect. All my grandchildren are.

Flower Patch Pansy

Who doesn't have a stack of leftover charm squares and strips from other projects? When I stumbled upon a television interview of Eleanor Burns with a group of women quilting in a log cabin, the pattern she used, Fabric Frenzy, caught my imagination. It was the first time I attempted a piecing technique she demonstrated. Having watched many of Jenny's videos, I feel they supported the completion of this project. I used my domestic machine to free motion stippling, flower and leaf designs. My sister-in-law now has the finished quilt gracing her living room couch where I found her black lab resting his head one afternoon :-)

Quilt made from recycled fabric.

This quilt was made from old used fabrics my Mom had. I intentionally made it to look like it is an antique quilt. After piecing it I gave it a short tea bath. I pieced this four years ago and think it looks old. I love this quilt. It made me wonder if anyone else has tried this. Fill a bath tub with warm water add tea bags then remove then put quilt into tub until desired stain is on quilt. Try on scrap to determine soaking time. My quilt was soaked for 20 minutes then rinsed in cool water followed by white vinegar and into the dryer to set.

Rebecca's Frozen Quilt

My eight year old granddaughter wanted a quilt with the "Disney Frozen" theme. I purchased the large Frozen sisters panel and designed it by piecing squares in the corners and complementary fabrics bordered the quilt top. For the backing, I used pink flannel Frozen fabric, then used straight line and serpentine stitches on my domestic machine. I used the free motion feature to outline the panel figures. Taking a class at a nearby quilting shop, watching several videos on-line, and practicing helped. It was my first large quilt that I attempted to quilt myself. She was thrilled with her very own Elsa and Anna Christmas quilt.

Cherry Blossom Disappearing Hourglass

I had a cherry blossom fabric languishing in my fabric closet which my daughter, Amy, spotted while visiting. When I saw the pattern in Missouri Quilt Block magazine (Winter 2015, Volume 2, Issue 1, pg. 16), watched Jennie's tutorial on the Disappearing Hourglass 2, and took a Block class at a quilting shop, the result is the fabric disappearing from the closet to a finished quilt for Amy. I used black Kona fabric and bordered the quilt with red and black. I practiced some free motion designs, added decorative stitching and "stitched in the ditch" on my domestic sewing machine. Although I was skeptical about making it because the pattern looked complex, it was surprisingly not difficult to complete and I learned a lot by sewing and quilting it. The quilt now happily resides in her home and not in my closet.

Mini Tumbler scrap buster

Lots and lots of mini tumblers went into the making of this quilt. I began with a charm pack and then realized I needed much more..haha..I ended up with 4 Lulu and 4 Garden Tango charms packs plus a couple solids. Once I got started it was hard to stop.

For The Love of a Friend

My husband's first wife tragically died of cancer. Her best friend was critically ill in the hospital and was unable to make that cross country trip to see her best friend before she passed. We were packing our home to move to another state and came across a box of his late wife's dresses that had been overlooked when he was donating her clothes. I told him to set them aside and that I would make something with them. Fast forward one year. We were finally settled in our new home and I decided it was time to make a quilt with Susan's dresses. I cut away all the seams to see how much fabric I would have. I found the great tutorial from Jenny with the written instructions from my Block magazine, I began my project and finished it in time so I could give it to Linda for Christmas. I had custom quilting done to bring out the best in the dresses fabric and the design. Linda hasn't stopped smiling since she received her quilt. The quilt has helped to ease the pain of loosing her best friend. The quilt also has greatly pleased my husband knowing that his late wife is special to me even though I never had the pleasure to know her.

My Mother's Cross Stitched Quilt top Quilted

My mother died and left this quilt top. Unfortunately, it was one of those blue stenciled jobs, and someone had ironed the top without realizing that that would set the stencil forever! Regardless, I took the top and finished the quilt -- if it's not done, no one will ever use it! It is now in the guest room which we use when visiting at my in-laws.
