QuiltsBy.me

I made Flower Boxes for our daughter-in-law’s birthday present. The design is taken from Four Patch Charm Quilt, with my original quilting design. There are "hidden" motifs in the quilting. Hand pieced, hand quilted, 66" x 70" (I made this during strict quarantine and everything came from what I already had, other than about a foot of bias tape for the binding.)

Michelle’s Prayer Quilt

Hello Quilters, My daughter just found out a friend of hers was diagnosed with breast cancer and will have surgery next week. Marsha bought this fabric for me to hurry & make a prayer quilt for Michelle. For those of you that never heard of these quilts, I will explain. The layers, top, batting and backing are held together with short pieces of 6 stand floss like DMC, spaced about 4-5 inches apart. For each piece of DMC floss, a prayer is said and the strand is tied into knots, that are then clipped short, so no strings hanging. The quilt is then presented to the recipient and told each knot represents a prayer was said for her/him. Michelle’s favorite color is purple. The top is simple squares cut 4 1/2 inches. All fabrics were purchased at Walmart and are Waverly and David Textiles, so nice fabrics. If you can remember Michelle in your prayers, as they are aggressively treating her, removing both breasts. Chemo and cancer patients in general are usually cold, so I made the quilt longer than the usual lap size prayer quilts. She should be able to tuck over her shoulders and cover her feet well. I ran out of floss, so I pinned until Marsha brought me more. I forgot to re-take another photo once we sewed it in so you may still see pins in this picture. There was enough fabric to make her a pillowcase to carry her quilt into treatment or use with a pillow. Thank you for prayers, for looking too and I hope you all have a nice day. Toogie

Christmas Panel Quilt

I started making Christmas quilts for newlyweds. I have four kids whose friends are getting married. While I may not be included in the guest list (understandably), I want to remember their day with a little something. Many young people don't have loads of holiday decor and making a Christmas quilt is something they can use for several weeks a year and not conflict with their decor theme. I wish I was better at panels. I've searched the internet for ideas. Not sure I'm super pleased with this one, but off it goes to the wedding via my daughter who will be attending. It finished at 54 x 42.

In Remembrance 3

This one is for my Niece and Nephew. In it are pieces of all t-shirts used in all three quilts. The Great nephew loved the color orange and Baby Yoda. Each quilt includes them; this quilt has 8 to represent the number of years we had with him. The quilting is just an all over medium meander so the quilt is the focus not the quilting. As I can’t imagine any of them actually using these I’ve included for my niece the hanging sleeves so they an convert them to a wall hanging.

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.

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.

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.

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…

Simply Serene

Made this large throw for a guy who had gifted me a drawing of a mansion near where I grew up. A simple thank you was not enough. The pattern is Simply Serene by Annies Catalog. I used mostly 2 Moda Charm Packs (Astra and Decorum- basic grey) but supplemented it with some fabric from my stash. The dark blue and other various shades for the triangles and borders were shades of Moda Grunge. The back is flannel. It was quilted by our local long arm quilter.

2nd version of my Diamond Stars

If you read the first version then not much else to say. This is almost like the picture I saw and tried to make. My corners I made here are just a bigger size Star than in the other blocks whereas the picture I made it from had Applique 5 point stars. My first version blocks were unfinished 17 1/2 in whereas these are 12 1/2 inch so required a lot more stars. Thirty five to be exact. I think I like the first try or first version with only 12 and a border-lol- Have a nice day and thanks for looking.-Toogie
