This is for Letitia. Her favorite color is teal, so I thought this BariJ material fit the bill. This was an easy one day project. I really enjoyed the process, no stress. To make it feel more special, I had some custom quilting done on this one. Love it!

Hexi Gems for Katie

This quilt is for Katie, Kavan's girlfriend. It was a stretch for me to leave so much negative space. But, I'm glad I left the pattern alone and followed the original. I like it!

Minnie

I made this for youngest brother, Evan. He was working on Tarantino's movie, The Hateful Eight, while I was making it. The only building in the set was Minnie's log cabin, so I thought this curved log cabin pattern was perfect. I used many Parson Gray lines combined and an Essex Linen background. I enlarged the pattern considerably. I'm happy with the quilt and would make it again.

Guitar strap for Jessica

My daughter's best friend since age 3 is a guitar player. She's a hippie at heart and we love her. She played in the talent show at school this spring using an old neon belt and some twine for a strap. She wouldn't let her mom buy her a new strap! But, I thought if I made her one, she couldn't refuse it. Not sure if she has let go of the belt and twine or not, but I know she has another option now! Used Man Sewing guitar strap tutorial

Jelly Roll Race for Noah 2014

This is my daughter's first quilt! This tutorial of Jenny's gave me the confidence to start quilting a few years ago and when my daughter wanted to make a quilt for her boyfriend, I knew just the one to start with! After she watched jenny's tutorial, she too thought she could do it! We had a great time. Thanks, Jenny, for this new activity she and I can enjoy together!

Tori doesn't fear the zipper!

It's so fun to watch her tackle new things! She didn't "know to be scared" of putting in a zipper. After I coached her thru it, I told her many people are intimidated by zippers. Her response.....Why? Lover that kid!

My first Quilt of Valor

One of the biggest reasons I wanted to learn to quilt was the Quilt of Valor program. It was my honor to present this to Mr. Bob Bridge, a wonderful WWII veteran.

Hamilton's Christmas 2014 quilt

Made for by my first nephew, Hamilton. Used a generic "H" block pattern using 2.5" strips. It's really easy and great for any "H" people in your life!
