Christmas one year I wanted to make quilts as gifts for 6 of my co-workers. This was one of them. I purchased this very busy Asian print fabric and as soon as I got home I said "what was I thinking in buying this?" I didn't like the fabric alone, but for some reason I liked it as an applique piece....so it wasn't a total loss.

Dad's Shirts

After my father passed away, I helped my mother clear out the closet of all his cloths. I found these plaid shirts that he used to wear all the time in various colors. If you know anything about the Hawaiian cowboy (aka the paniolo) I am pretty sure you recognize the palaka shirts. I took some of Dad's clothes and made various quilts out of them for the whole family. This was one of the designs I came up with. Needless to say most of my family was shocked I could sew, but were happy that they have something to remember Dad by.

Sunshine Flowers

I had to come up with a quilt I was comfortable making for my local guilds raffle so I chose this one. It's still in the making, needing placement and sewing curves and a border still to come. I will update the picture when it is finished.

Kim's 50th

I made this quilt for my daughter's 50th birthday. It's Jenny's wallflower quilt pattern. My first try at applique. I made some mistakes at first, but in the end no one will notice because it turned out so pretty, don't you think?

Barn & Silo Baby Quilt

I made this for a friend to give as a gift. The recipients have a long history of farming in the family. I hope they love it! The patterns are from the Lori Holt Vintage Farm Girl series.

Ocean Dreams

I made this quilt for my brother's 40th birthday. Lots and lots of blue batiks! It's my first king-size quilt. I quilted it on a long-arm Bernina at my local fabric shop - also my first time!

Baby Star Quilt

I saw Jenny's tutorial for the baby star quilt and made my own variation on that one since I had oodles of 2" squares. I love the scrappy look, plus the baby blue. More FMQing that is building my confidence. I plan to make a few more of these to keep on hand for babies that are still a twinkle in someone's eye. It measures about 49 x 49 inches.

Totally Tulips

I consider myself a novice quilter as I've only been quilting for about a year. This tulip block was a new challenge for me, and I absolutely love how it turned out! I bought the batik charm pack, as a MSQC Daily Deal, when I first started quilting. It has been sitting in my stash since I bought it, not knowing what I'd use it for. It was perfect for this project!

Papa Bear (Paw)

A Christmas present for my father and also the third quilt I've ever made. Made with Kansas Troubles Quilters' Heartfelt fabric collection using MSQC's Bear Paw tutorial. The flying geese border is paper pieced from all the trimmings made while creating the bear paw blocks.

Pixels

My niece is having a baby and her nursery colors are mint, peach and navy and flowers. I was playing with colors to see if I liked how they worked together. I might make this into a quilt for her dog so he can take a nap in his new sister's room without clashing. But most likely it will end up with all my other UFOs.

This is Going To Be Swell With a Side of Sunshine

{Quilt #9} For this quilt, I used scraps and fat quarters to make Camille Roskelley's Swell quilt from her "Simply Retro" book.

Sport Baby Boy Quilt

This is the fourth and final quilt my sister ordered recently for all the baby showers she has attended in the past few months. I used a Varsity charm pack (Sweetwater for Moda Fabrics) and a gray back ground. No pattern was used, I just let my imagination run wild and creatively; it was quilted on my domestic machine.
