QuiltsBy.me

Co-worker wanted a quilt with checks and stars and vintage look. She showed me a couple of quilts from a magazine and that's how I come up with the pattern. Quilt is 108" x 108", very large. I also made two queen size pillow shams to match. The star blocks are paper pieced.

Kelley's Butterfly Garden

My daughter Kelley turned 40 in May. She loves butterflies and purple. I had found the Mariposa Meadow fabric line in 2014 and knew I had to make a quilt for her. The problem was that I could not decide on a pattern. That is until I saw Jenny Doan's "Out of Time" tutorial. I backed the quilt with Tula Pink's Imaginarium (purple unicorns) fabric. I had our local long arm quilter quilt it in butterflies and swirls. The look on her face when she opened the package was special to say the least.

Half square triangle quilt

My friend and I collaborated on my friends customer HST quilt. The customer had pieced the HST blocks, then life got in the way of completing the quilt. She sent the blocks to my friend. We came up with the layout and my friend pieced the top. The customer wanted a queen size quilt, so we added borders. The customer wanted all white added as a very large border, but I thought of the blue border with HST in the corners. The customer loved the border and wanted white added as the rest of the border. The colorful part of the quilt is on the top of her bed and the white drapes on the sides of the bed. 90" x 100"

Irish Chain

I made this as a birthday present for a very old and dear friend of mine. He's very proud of his Irish heritage and uses many Celtic motifs in his home.

Slip Knot

Pattern by Nancy Zieman, enlarged. FMQ inspired by Angela Walters. Done on my domestic Bernina 1130. Queen size. Front is Christmas fabric, back is geese and plain green, so the quilt can be used all year. The fabric has been in my stash for 20 years. It is time to clear out the stash and let people enjoy the quilts.

Denim Quilt

My 2nd try. Still looking more like a “drunkards path” than a quilt but I am happy.

Raggy Sheshewe Quilt

As a long time crafter I had lost my enthusiasm for creating crochet blankets in the hot South African summer. I have always loved beautiful fabrics and while browsing online I came across Jenny and her wonderful tutorials. She made quilting look easy so I thought let’s give this art form a try. Now I’m hooked. Although I am not an experienced sewer I am slowly but surely learning this craft. As you can see the effort is a bit wonky and not 100% but I have found a new love.

Wallflower in Purples

Another way to use up those bits of leftover fabrics. I did use Jenny's tutorial, but am not able to upload or find it. It's called Jenny's Wallflower Quilt. I didn't have the orange peel template, so I made my own. Used the quilter plastic to make the template. Used a 2 1/2 square piece of paper and just cut a football shape from it.

Western Wedding Quilt

A classmate of mine's daughter was getting married. I wanted to send her a nice wedding gift. I chose this fabric as it had our H.S. colors. They were also her daughter's. I purchased a small horseshoe from our local farm supply store and used it as a quilting template. I had a rope template and used it in the border of the orange. I used another overall template for the main body of the piece.

Finding Myself

I drew this pattern out on graph paper and had two colors in mind. This one I have made 2X's. I gave this one away to a great nephew for graduation last year. I guess this was the only gift he received and won't take it off his bed. I did an overall quilt pattern and made a label also, but I haven't found any pictures of when it was completed. I must of forgotten to take some before it left my house.

Stars to Oklahoma!

This was a top I had made for no reason except I wanted to make the block. That's a good enough reason, right? This was made from scraps as well. I placed a piece of batting under each circle of the star and used a blanket stitch around them. Anyway, cousin called and asked if I had a quilt top to use for a signature quilt to bring along to the Family Gathering? I sent some photos of tops that I had done, and this is the one she wanted. She said that she would finish it after all the names were put on. I already put the label on it for myself and her. As of yet she doesn't have it finished. I took it down in 2015.

Dragon Hearts Wedding Quilt

Long Story, Daughter's best friend. I asked her Mother if she was going to make her daughter a quilt for wedding, said she didn't have time. I asked to make one, but wanted to include her in the project. She sent me a 8.5 by 11.5 picture of what she "was" going to make. Oh Boy! Had to somehow blow the image up to a size to put on a quilt. Went to husbands work and put freezer paper up on wall and used a projector to enlarge the image. I had to do it at least twice to make a perfect mirror image because of the detail on the tail area. Her wedding was a Peacock theme and decided to use those colors in the piece. I wasn't quite sure how to quilt the negative space, but since they were going to change their last name to Dragonheart, I echo quilted a large heart in that space. I used a font on computer to "write" their names on and used wonder under to stick long enough for me to satin stitch around each letter. I used that same process for the dragons as well. I think the satin stitching took the longest.

Doggie Herringbone

I wanted to make a quilt that my son and his girlfriend would love. The quilt was their Christmas present. They have a Boston Terrier that is their child and this fabric has adorable Boston Terriers on it. I used layer cakes - Best in Show by Greta Lynn for Kanvas Studios and a white layer cake also. The pattern came from a tutorial on MSQC. It is quilted with a cute dog bone pattern. Also used the flange binding tutorial and loved how the binding turned out.
