I made this quilt for a dear friend of mine. We've been friends for over 30 years. We live far away now but whenever we talk it's like we saw each other yesterday. Her favorite color is pink. I had the Fruitful Pleasures layer cake pack I purchased from a Daily Deal so I went in search of a pattern. I ended up using Jenny's Calico Star pattern and omitted the sashing between the blocks. It created secondary designs, which was a happy surprise. She received it in the mail yesterday and called me, crying. I'm glad she loved it.

Daughter's Love

I made this quilt for my son who is a veteran. He had to be away from his daughters and he missed them very much. I had their mother trace their handprints and send them to me. I had a layer cake of wooly flannel that I had been saving. I ordered a little extra and made a large quilt for him out of squares. Then I appliqued three sets of his daughter's handprints onto the cover. I backed it in red and black plaid fleece. Red is his favorite color and I wanted the quilt to be really warm. It was quilted with an overall meander and gifted in April 2018.

Wedding Quilt for Derek

I wanted to make a wedding quilt for a young man who we consider a son. He is an avid outdoorsman so I knew I had to find just the right fabric. I was happy to find the River Journey line and pair it with a brown solid. I made HST (4/layer cake pair) so the prints would show up. I had it quilted by a local quilter in an acorn and leaf motif. I just loved how it turned out. I found a dark brown batik for the back that brought in the browns from the front. It was gifted in 7/20/2017
