I was gifted this to make a Quilt of Valor. One square was cut out so the panel had 8 squares and the flag. The squares reminded me of a country fair, so then I thought I’d make Hole in the Barn Door blocks, with them and the alternate fabric pieces. Turned out 65 x 79.5 a little short of my 80 inch or more goal, but I couldn’t cut my borders any wider because of using leftover fabric.

Fabrics my daughter picked up at Walmart. She cut and sewed the squares into rows then brought the rows to me to cut the side triangles. I cut and pinned them on each end of the rows so she wouldn’t get mixed up, also labeling rows in order. She had also brought me at the same time her backing fabric and batting. After she had came a few times and each time I reminded her that her triangles were on and ready for her to finish, she would always say I’m get them later. Well hubby and I concluded she wasn’t going to get them until I finished it for her. So….

This is a cheater fabric, done in hexi’s. It is Buttercup and Slate, by Corey Yoder. It measures 60” x 72”. It is a nice size to cuddle up with on the couch or loveset.

This is the “Barn Star” wall hanging quilt, by Coriander Quilts. It is done in Buttercup and Slate, and measures 40” x 40”. I made a rod pocket following FQS’s tutorial. It is made where the top of the pocket is sewn in with the binding. My dear husband hung it for me this am, September 16, 2023. He is certainly better with the tools than I am! Lol

This was a tutorial I watched on YouTube that Jenny Doan made with the Brightly pattern from cluckclucksew.com Since I have always liked the Irish chain quilts, I really fell in love with this pattern, with the stars. What better way to show a veteran how much he is appreciated! The finished top is 60x84 and will go to our QOV quilter Thursday to be quilted. Thanks again Jenny for a great tutorial!-❤️Toogie

My daughter asked me to make this prayer quilt for her best friend’s baby granddaughter. Seems little Mave has a health problem, so prayers are requested. Anyway, the mom of little Mave likes purple and I like pinwheels-lol I decided to spend a little extra time quilting, while thinking of Mave. I love how the quilting shows on the back! I don’t love the fact that ‘sometimes’ my purple bobbin thread would show at needle holes on the white front, even though I would re-adjust tension on my long arm. I used purple bobbin and white top threads. I meant to wash it before giving, to see if the stitches would look better or sink in more, but I forgot to before I added the ties. It will have to be washed after all prayers are said and threads tied. I think they will like it, my daughter and I do. Have a nice day!

I have been wanting to make a Swoon quilt for awhile now. Since I had a fat quarter bundle before Christmas 2022, I decided to make one. I started the 9 blocks in July 2023, and today…8/27/23 I finished sewing my binding on. (Today is my Mom’s birthday, so I like to think she is shining down from heaven) I went with the Baptist Fan quilting with white thread. Many of Camille’s quilts are done in the Baptist Fan, and I always loved how hers turned out. I am very pleased with the results. This quilt finishes at 80” square. It fits nicely on a queen, with about 11” overhang on each side.
