I was on the MSQC deal of the day and saw this layer cake I needed to get. I had already decided I needed to make the bordered Periwinkle and I thought this would be great. I bought additional layer cakes and some yardage. And off I went. I ended up having enough to make two. Well the second was actually made with the blocks I joined together the wrong way and had set aside. It is a lap and there is such a big difference but I love them both. I decided to give it to my son for Christmas. A week after Christmas my daughter in law calls me. Can you enlarge Jer's quilt. It is perfect for our bedroom. I said let me send you the photo of the king I made. She loved it and I have decided to mail it to her. Although I love the fabric and the quilt it looks lousy in our bedroom.

QOV

As a member of Quilts of Valor we receive many donations of fabric and among them are many pieces of homespun plaid. They sit in the boxes and sometimes big pieces will get pulled for backing. I decided to use them to make some quilts. The first one I tried was simple but the photo of the man who received it had a huge smile on his face. It was soft and very manly. So I decided this was very doable

Hudson's LITTLE BOY/BIG BOY Reversible Quilt

My adorable little grandson, Hudson, was born with Downs Syndrome as well as an unrelated problem called Hirschsprung's Disease. At just 6 days old he had his first major surgery and has had umpteen procedures since that time. When I decided to learn how to make quilts (in honor & memory of my sweet Momma Betty Ann Bivens Wilson 1931-2008), my first bed size quilt was an oversized twin for Hudson. I chose a quite large disappearing 9-patch using an I SPY layer cake. This would/could be used as a learning tool as he got older. It could also be used in several of his weekly therapies. After the top was pieced, I had the bright idea to make it a truly reversible quilt that could see him all the way through his adulthood. My son, his Daddy, is an avid outdoorsman...hunter, fisherman...like generations of his forefathers so in order to KISS (keep it simple stupid), I did a simple stripe design using wide strips of outdoor fabrics (mallard ducks, bears, fish, etc) sewn as stripes into the overall background fabric of a black & white hashtag design. I don't have a long arm so I found a LQS that rented time on their long arm out to customers. I went and did an overall super simple pattern in bright color variegated thread. Once back home I added my quilt label and VOILA! My first Big Quilt!! Hudson and his older brother Parker drag it out in the floor all the time and play on it. My heart sings with joy!

Ellery's Coat-of-Many-Colors Quilt

Although I now have many quilts made from MSQ patterns/tutorials, this queen size quilt was only my 2nd to undertake and was pre-discovery of all things MSQ. Ignorance, thankfully, IS bliss! Ellery is my 3rd grandchild but my first grandDaughter so I'd spent many hours sewing dresses, coats, nursery bedding, shorts sets, etc, in her first 5 years. I saw this quilt & tutorial on Pinterest (http://www.modabakeshop.com/2012/10/simply-woven-quilt.html) and decided it was the perfect quilt for my El bc I could use up lots of the fabric scraps from all those things I'd made for her. Win/Win, right? I mean, Ellery gets a quilt with memories stitched in every block and my stash DEcreases!! WELL, what I didn't yet appreciate was the fact that there would be MANY points in each block (like 12!!!) that would need to match up with the other 4 blocks touching it! I eagerly tackled all the pressing, cutting, starching, measuring, CUTTING, etc, & jumped in. This quilt is FAR from perfect but to Ellery and to me, it is super special!!! For the quilt back, I did a Greatly super sized log cabin with one of El Bell's favorite embroidery design in the center (from Quite-a-Stitch http://www.quite-a-stitch.com/product/sparkle-6). i'm in LOVE with this quilt, "warts and all!!"

Quilt for a Friend

A good friend of mine's husband is fighting brain cancer...they have had a very difficult year. I choose this fabric for her because she is crazy about Vera Bradley and it kind of had that Vera look...and her living room is grey with gold accents. I told her that this quilt is a hug from me to her.

My Featherweight Machine Cover

A few months ago (June 2015) I finally purchased "Susie" a Singer 1950 Featherweight sewing machine. Since then Susie has been "piecing" my quilt tops so I had to make a cover to keep it safe and dust free.

A tote bag

It took me two days to make this super tote. I was flowing the tutorial of the crafty gimini and Jenny. It is a very fun project. I added a zipper . I can put my sheet music inside, so cool. I took 15 different strips , and I think I could still make another one. It is cool!

David's Quilt

I made this quilt from a pattern I liked in Quilty. I was on my third block when I realized my mistake in the placement of the squares. Since I didn't want to take them apart and redo them I just kept going. Sometimes a mistake can turn out alright after all! My brother-in-law loved this quilt.

Colorful stash

I tried to find a way to use many of the bright colors that I had in my stash. If I were to do a serious quilt using this idea, I think I would use a white background on all squares. Guess I have a project for another time...and I have plenty in my stash!
