When my grandson was first learning to talk, he called me Ninga. That was his way of saying grandma. The name stuck and 12 years later I am still Ninga to my grandkids. When I asked him if I could make him a quilt he said he would like it soft and "manly." So I made it with all flannels and wool batting. It turned out better than I expected! The Ninja stars, or friendship stars, became Ninga's stars. I hope he likes it as much as I enjoyed making it for him.

Chromatics DNA Quilt

My son just completed his PhD in molecular biology. So I looked for a DNA quilt pattern and found this free pattern from In the Beginning Fabrics. All the fabrics and pattern are from their website. The quilt is 98" x 74". It is machine pieced and quilted on my domestic machine.

Optics

I tried my hand at a transparency quilt and designed this. It's 60 x 72" and entirely pieced, no applique! I submitted this quilt to a magazine but it wasn't accepted, whew thinking it over now there's no way I'd want to write a pattern for this. www.quiltachusetts.com

Holly Jolly

A local quilt shop offers a Strippers club every other month. This was last December's. I took my other half with me to the demo and he loved it so I bought the strip set and made it. The back is from fabric that he bought shortly after we met and hung it over his curtain rods when I came over for Christmas. That fabric has followed us around the world. For a few years (before I started sewing and quilting) I used to wrap it around the bottom of our Christmas tree as a make shift tree skirt. The red and white fabric is left over from my younger daughters tree skirt I made 2 yrs ago.

Christmas Panel Quilt

This is the Christmas Quilt I made to keep. I got the pattern from the fabric manufacturer's website. It was for a smaller panel so I had to add the sashing on the sides to get it to fit. I love the way it turned out and I'm keeping this one for my own Christmas quilt.

Kaley's Memory Wall Hanging 12-25-16

My daughter in law has been missing her grandmother so much so I asked my son to send me pictures of them. I printed on photo paper and sashed with vintage fabric given to me by a friend who's mom had passed. I used some newer fabric to match a Quilt I made Kaley for her B'day last year. She was stunned on Christmas. There were tears but at least for now they were happy tears.
