6 LIKES | 976 VIEWS

My husband's first wife tragically died of cancer. Her best friend was critically ill in the hospital and was unable to make that cross country trip to see her best friend before she passed. We were packing our home to move to another state and came across a box of his late wife's dresses that had been overlooked when he was donating her clothes. I told him to set them aside and that I would make something with them. Fast forward one year. We were finally settled in our new home and I decided it was time to make a quilt with Susan's dresses. I cut away all the seams to see how much fabric I would have. I found the great tutorial from Jenny with the written instructions from my Block magazine, I began my project and finished it in time so I could give it to Linda for Christmas. I had custom quilting done to bring out the best in the dresses fabric and the design. Linda hasn't stopped smiling since she received her quilt. The quilt has helped to ease the pain of loosing her best friend. The quilt also has greatly pleased my husband knowing that his late wife is special to me even though I never had the pleasure to know her.

Wedding Gift For a Dear Friend

A very dear friend got married on New Years Eve. I made this special quilt just for her and her husband. They take part in Civil War Reenactments and use this quilt to cover anything modern in their tent. Last year I made his & hers matching pillowcases and two bivy sacks to hid more modern goodies. She replaced the rag drawstring with some leathder.

Peggy's Quilt #1 - Fourth of July

My first quilt! I started collecting Civil War reproduction fabric in August 2014, and finished piecing the quilt top by the middle of December 2014. The pattern is 'Fourth of July' published in the book "Charm Quilts" (1997) by Beth Donaldson. The long-arm free motion quilting was done by Lyn Durbin (Camlyn Quilts). Finished size: 93.5" long x 103" wide. It's a King size quilt on a Double bed, making for a nice drop. With some of the leftover fabric, I made a set of 4 pillow cases with nice big cuffs. Some of the other leftover fabric was used to practice paper piecing and for the top of my second quilt. I love quilting! Peggy

Peggy's Quilt #4 - Simon's Halloween Quilt

This is my fourth quilt. My son and daughter-in-law moved to California and took my 2 grandkids with them. ;{ So I made them each a Halloween Quilt. This one is for 6-year-old Simon. The machine piecing on this one didn't take long (May 18-21, 2015), using the MSQC Four Patch Frenzy tutorial. The fabric is Cheeky Pumpkins by DT-K Signature (1 layer cake) plus half of one black jelly roll and half of one white jelly roll. The back is orange flannel. It was long arm free-motion quilted by Lyn Durbin at Camlyn Quilts. Lyn put spider webs in the corners as well as Simon's name and 2015. I love quilting! Peggy

Halloween basket

Our church group has things donated by past quilters, people who go to nursing homes and can't quilt any longer. Or by family member's of someone who has died. They want their love one's items put to good use. So we (our little group) make quilts or finish some of the craft items that were unfinished or waiting to get started even sometimes. These were part of donated box or things.

Christmas placemats

These a recycled placemats from a garage sale. I love to make things useful again. They may have been home sewn but the batting was all bunched up in a wad. So took of the binding , ironed out the wrinkles in the material and batting. Quilted them and embroidered a nice gold bow to match the pattern in the material. Used Kona Cotton Black Colorstory From Missouri Star to bind them again
