QuiltsBy.me

This is one of my favorites. I had a bunch of fat quarters that I didn't know what to use them for. So, when I saw the tutorial on making this quilt, I pulled out my fat quarters and put them to use.

My Very First Ever Completed Quilt Top

I had planned on this being a lot easier than it actually was. I am very surprised that it worked because about halfway through I wasn’t so sure, and I was about to start over completely. I began with the Monster Scribbles II panel, cutting out the individual images and piecing them together with some coordinating orange stripe fabric, and black bats. But, as it turns out, with this panel, no line is straight and no corner is square. Hence my major dilemma. After some help, and a lot of ironing and steaming, I was finally able to finish the top. Now I need to machine quilt it and bind it, and just hope I can get it all done before Halloween! I thought I was starting my first Quilting project with a super easy piece, but I think it was much harder than I should have done for my first try. Luckily my second quilt topper attempt is going much smoother. I am hoping that top will finish nicely on all sides, but we have yet to see… More on that later. For now, Oooh and Aaaah at my Little Monster and my first Quilt Top for him. - October 2012 So… I missed Halloween, or maybe I’m just early for the 2013 Halloween season. I started this much earlier than Halloween with every intention of finishing it at least a couple weeks before so my little guy could enjoy it. But I have the worst luck with class signup at my local store – almost every class I sign up for gets canceled due to low enrollment (just me) or one class they changed the time and date on me. And those 2 classes happened to be the machine quilting and binding classes – the two that I needed to finish this. Well – I worked my way through it on my own. Yes, I realize there is a lot to be desired, and I imagine over time I will need to go back and fix some things, but I did it. All by myself. It wasn’t easy, but for now it’s finished. And the best part – my little guy loves it, he’s slept with it every night since I gave it to him. - January 2013

Rainbow Batiks Jelly Roll Quilt

I was finally able to get some photos of my very first finished quilt – my Moda Rainbow Batiks Jelly Roll Quilt. I know this isn’t quite sound logic, but I consider both the Halloween Quilt for Riley and this Rainbow Batiks Jelly Roll quilt my ‘first’ finished quilts. I started them both about the same time, and though the Batiks quilt was finished first, the Halloween quilt was start to finish done by me. Yes it has some issues, but I will be that much better next time! Anyways – this Jelly Roll quilt was fun to make, and I have plans to make others with this same pattern. And as for the back – I made a mistake and cut one section too small. So in order to correct it I had to get another Jelly Roll, and I used the strips for the back of the quilt, and then filled in the sides with a blue and a pink fabric from the line that I liked, added a narrow and wider border to the front, and a rainbow splatter for the binding. Considering this is my first ever quilt, I think it turned out pretty well. The colors of the Rainbow Batiks are so rich and bright and are difficult to capture – you must see this fabric line in person to really appreciate it! Looking forward to my next one like this! - February 2013

Started out to be all blues and aquas and morfed into this wonderful rainbow. Love collaborating with my sis on projects. Quilted on my long arm in loopy hearts. Pattern is Garden Fence - I followed this tutorial http://hyacinthquiltdesigns.blogspot.ca/2011/01/garden-fence.html

A Ten Year Journey

When my mother passed away in Jan, 2000 from lung cancer, I was totally devastated and lost. After her funeral, one of my cousins showed me a quilt that her aunt had made her and her siblings. Her mom passed a few months earlier. It was made of her moms blouses. That touched me so much that all I could think of was to do the same for my brother, sister and myself. I had no idea of how to go about it. I read some books and watched some quilting shows. I just wanted to make 3 quilts and that was it. Sewing never really did anything for me. I thought I was just dumb on that subject. I then heard of a woman who taught quilting in her home. It was not a typical quilt class. It was a six week total emersion class. The theme of the class was Log Cabin quilts. All different settings, different variations, different colors. If you didn't know anything about quilting when you started, you did when the class was finished! During that class, I was hit with the passion for quilting that took over everything. Books, patterns and FABRIC. Then came the colors. Colors I never gave much thought to I fell in love with. Then the stories of the patterns. I couldn't get enough (still can't). I started the quilt about a year and a half later. A pinwheel pattern. I got it all put together and hand quilted it. It wasn't that pretty at all, but it was mine and I love it. I started it in early 2002 and finished in early 2012. After the binding was on, I wrapped myself in it and a warm feeling came over me. I named the quilt 'Hugs from Momma. A Ten Year Journey.' It is a great comfort to me. My dad passed the day after Christmas 2005 and did the same with his shirts I named it 'Hugs from Daddy' When I get sad or really missing them, I wrap up in those quilts and just feel the 'hugs'.

Craig's Double Slice

This was a Christmas 2014 present for my brother. Used the double slice pattern with a layer cake called "Man Cave". Was very busy, so added black sashing to give the eye a place to rest.

Chevron Baby Quilt

My husband and I both sing in barbershop harmony. We are so fortunate to have discovered this amazing hobby. Even better, we belong to a private recreation and camp park run and owned by barbershop singers. You will find us there as often as possible from late April until mid-October. Someday when I retire I'll be there the entire season. For now, I'll take any weekend I can. We are setting up a sewing room for me this summer. One of our neighbours at "The Ranch" has become a grandpa for the first time. Hence the chevron baby quilt.

Tropicana Star

I saw this pattern on Pinterest in black, white, and gray. I decided it had potential to be brighter and ordered layer cakes in RJR's Tropicana and Moda's Bella Solids. It was very quick to do using Jenny's HST technique and I think my son's girlfriend will like her birthday present.
