QuiltsBy.me

I was asked in Jan of last year to make a quilt for a grandson and then asked for one for my other grandson and his sister! Not any quilts, but T-shirt quilts! Never had made before, so bought 3 books to help. They did but, none showed football pants, scout scarves, baby shirts or badge sashes. Each had a challenge! I finished the last of 3 one week before Christmas and gave as presents. I did all- pieced and quilted! This was my 3rd t-shirt quilt and was made for my grandson Ben!

Wonky rainbow

We bought a house this summer and immediately signed a contract to gut and renovate it. The project took much longer than expected and my family and I moved into a construction zone. We all slept together in the floor in the partially finished basement and "lived" on the small sun porch. We finally moved in Christmas Eve! What a gift. Needless to say, it was an adventure- and nothing was going to stop me from sewing! This is the quilt I made sitting in a tiny space on the floor and using a TV tray to set up my machine. My daughter wanted rainbows and stars for her bedroom. At 6, she is her own, unique person. I call her my ninja princess. The "wonky star" is perfect for her. (Although, when I presented it to her she said, "Mommy, I like it, but I REALLY like FLOWERS!" Guess that means I get to make another quilt! :) I finally quilted it in our new kitchen on the big, built in table. What a crazy memory I have of the time spent living so closely with my family.

Color Confusion

I showed my daughter the fabrics I bought for this quilt for my son and she pointed out that, because of his color confusion issues, he probably wouldn't be able to see the design! So I ended up exchanging many text messages with my other son, who has the same eye problem and we finally hit upon the best arrangement of fabrics so he could see the design. With that in mind, I bought a whimsical backing that he could see and appreciate!

Black and White with a Splash of Teal

I made this quilt for my cousin to match her bedroom color scheme and favorite colors. I used a Fons and Porters pattern I found on their website and I did it all by hand with quilting done in diagonal lines across the whole quilt. Completed in July 2015. I gave it to her for Christmas.

One In The Pocket

My son loves to play a game of pool. When he was house hunting, the only requirement that he had was that the house needed a place for a pool table...preferably not in the dining room. The quilt I made for him has the numbered balls and cue sticks as the focus print. Jenny Doan's Missouri Quilt tutorial called Alter Ego -- a versatile combination of the hour glass and the scrappy four patch, turned out to be a good match. I used 5 inch squares for the four patch block and 10 inch squares for the hour glass block. For the border, I stitched a 3 inch patchwork. The backing fabric is a fleece in a similar focus fabric. After dividing the top into quadrants, I straight line quilted in each area. It was a fun project and came together a lot faster than I imagined....just in time for a break in a lively game of pool.

Minnie

I made this for youngest brother, Evan. He was working on Tarantino's movie, The Hateful Eight, while I was making it. The only building in the set was Minnie's log cabin, so I thought this curved log cabin pattern was perfect. I used many Parson Gray lines combined and an Essex Linen background. I enlarged the pattern considerably. I'm happy with the quilt and would make it again.

Cabin In The Woods

I just had to do a bit of scrap busting so I decided on this paper piecing project of trees and log cabin blocks.

My Purple Dreamland

I decided to make this quilt from a picture, a nine patch quilt. I started making this quilt before watching tutorials, before buying patterns, before knowing about another world out there, the Quilting World. After my first Quilting Exhibit, I was hooked. I started researching. This quilt started as a Quilt-As-You-Go and I finished it as a Fun and Done. Tonight I get to sleep under my Purple Heaven for the first time. I can not believe how accomplished I feel at this moment. This has been the best lessons that I have learned in a long time and I am having fun. I know I am not done because I am planning a quilt for my son, Wonky Window. Also If I have time I want to make another quilt for my nephew and his bride, Goodnight Irene. I am addicted to the creative process. I can't wait to see what I can make next.
