QuiltsBy.me

I made this quilt for my grandson, Max, who was born 7-7-21. The quilt pattern is from Elizabeth Hartman quilt collection. I used all fabric by the yard to make the puppies. The quilt pattern is puppy dog paws. It was quite a sewing adventure for me, but I loved how it turned out.

Playing with fabrics

I was working on this little quilt (maybe 12” square?) just for fun, playing with the fabrics. A friend asked me what I was going to do with it. I said, I don’t know, maybe throw it away. (just kidding, of course) She said, “When you throw it away, throw it my way!” So i gave it to her when I finished it. (Probably made in the early 1990s.) Hand stitched and hand quilted.

Alaska Quilt

My husband and I went to Alaska with another couple. While we were there, I bought fabrics depicting the wildlife and other things we saw on the trip. The other couple has a special anniversary this month, so I made this quilt as part of their years of memories together. P.S. the Alaska trip was in 2008, I didn't start quilting until 2015. It's now 2022 LOL. Quilt measures 54 x 64, Pattern called Shoji by Lisa Moore, Quilts with a Twist. This pattern was perfect for showcasing the large prints.

Mint Green

This was just fabrics handed to me that came together very nicely. I guess you could call it my “a bit of color and a lot I’d white” stage! I decided to do the rose hook swirly quilting all around the outside, which as you can see is a lot of space. The saner thing I did a small meander between the blocks.

Flag quilts

I made four flag quilts for family members who have been or are in the military. All four fronts are the same. It took me 11 months to the day, start to finish the first three. (I ran out of red fabric and had to wait for a trip to the US before making the fourth one.) Two of the quilts have blue backs, one has illegible old-fashioned handwriting, the fourth has airplanes. Hand stitched and hand quilted. 51" x 66" my original design; the circle of stars idea adapted from an internet photo by Ritola Artesanía.

Menger's Sponge--not a quilt but it is patchwork

Menger’s Sponge made for our grandson's first Christmas. One photo shows him at 18 months IN the cube! The big cube has 72 different fabrics; the small cubes have the same six fabrics except for the black and white cube, which is the center block. So 79 different fabrics all together. (Hand stitched, big cube is 12" square, small cubes are 3.5".) From this tutorial: http://missgioia.com/2007/03/patchwork-cube-tutorial.html

Misty Mountains

When I offered to make our grandson a quilt, his momma chose Misty Mountains (from Patchwork and Poodles) and the fabrics for R’s quilt. I suggested changing one of the fabrics and adding the blue water at the bottom. 58”x66” Hand stitched and hand quilted, my original design for the quilting. Miniature (20”x22”) “Linus blanket” for R to drag around is also hand stitched and hand quilted but with a simpler design.

On Point Squares Table Topper

Celebrated my birthday recently and decided to make myself a present :-) It was supposed to be a pillow, but I have enough of those. So, the best thing was a surface protector to keep scuffs off of my drawer system. Used Moda Prairie by Corey Yoder Kona Cotton Pool Keepsake Calico Green Shaded Dots Tutorial for on-point-squares: https://carriedawayquilting.com/mini-charm-pack-pillow-tutorial-on-point-pillow/

Reptile skin

My grandson loved dinosaurs so I tried to make a quilt that looks like reptile skin. I do not think I succeeded but oh well…

Humbug

I wanted to use Christmas colors and have a stained glass design. It did not turn out the way I wanted. Fortunately, the fellow who does my quilting had a very cool design that I think saved the day. Hard to on the top, better on the backing. I joked that maybe I should make the top the backing and the backing the top.

Dinosaurs

I wanted to create something that was very special. It is a one of a kind. I created the scene at the top using my embroidery machine. The fabric is flannel on the front and minky on the back. The river on the front is minky.
