A cousins wedding gift. My cousin Sharon had been a widow for five years and has been blessed to find a true love again. Both are in their 70's and lost spouses to cancer at about the same time. They met on Catholic Match and thank God everyday for the gift of love and marriage. The quilt is a picnic quilt that I quilted on my Brother machine using a Westalee Sew Steady template for the body of the quilt and free motion on the border. The templates are still new to me but I am pleased with this result. The quilt was given as a shower gift and packaged in a vintage picnic basket.

Retro Transportation

This fun quilt is for a special friends first grandchild. The fabric is all from my stash and the start was a panel that I have had for some time. Inspired by the Exploding Block tutorial I cut the panel apart and "exploded' the blocks twice. Lots of fun to make and the flannel back will make it snugly.

Thanks for your service.

This quilt is for our son-in-law to say thanks for his military service. Loved this Layer Cake from Moda "Because of the Brave." I had watched Jenny's tutorial on the Illusions Quilt Block and decided it would be perfect for this project.

Hearts Repaired and Replaced

This quilt is for a benefit in our community in September. A young woman named Kim was born with heart issues and has had many surgeries in her young life. Now in her twenties she needed a heart transplant and was blessed to receive the new heart this year. The quilt is adapted from a quilt as you go design but I made the top and quilted it as a full quilt. The blocks were made in pairs then slashed and sewn together to create the light and dark as well as the repaired hearts. The back is piece using a zipper from the MSQC tutorial Zipper Quilt. Love the zipper to add interest to the back of the quilt and use up some of the scraps.

Tommy's Emergency Vehicles

Tommy is our great grandson and his father is a fireman/paramedic so this fabric was perfect. The pattern was Strip Tease a 3 Yard Quilt by Heirloom Elegance Designs. I did make the quilt a bit larger with extra borders and added a pillowcase to match.

Sock Monkeys

Our great grandson Jaivin wanted his quilt to be "Sock Monkeys" but he wanted black in his quilt. Most sock monkey fabric colors are brown, white and red but I did fine fabric with grey monkeys and then found fun things to go with that fabric. The pattern was one of the three yard patterns but I added to it to make a generous quilt as he was already nine. A matching pillow case made him very happy.

Christmas Pathways

This started with Pathways a 3 Yard Quilt pattern. Adding an extra row of blocks to the width and widened the border to make a nice size throw. This quilt was made as a silent auction for our local Ducks Unlimited Chapter. Some of the ladies like to have items that are not specifically waterfowl related on which they can bid. One of my early machine quilting attempts.

Flannel Geese

Using a pattern found in Fons & Porters Easy Quilts magazine I tried my hand at flying geese. The pattern "Winter's Migration" was designed by Jenny Foltz and Toni Kay Steere. My local quilt shop had a beautiful collection of flannels that did not seem to be jumping off the bolts so I made this sample and they cut some kits to be sold sharing the link to the website for the pattern. After the quilt was on display I donated it to the nursing home where my Dad was living and they raffled it off to raise money for Alzheimer research. The wife of my Dad's roommate won the quilt I was so pleased. Quilts make memories that stitch people together.

Music Music Music

Created for our daughter and son-in-law using a music theme using the pattern Amalfi designed by Janet Houts for Blank Quilting. Love the color combination and searched for a while to find music fabrics that were not a stark black and white this has a bit of warmth. This is an easy quilt to construct but I think the pattern lets each fabric shine on its own. I backed the quilt with a beautiful batik.

Topiary Tiles

This quilt was made as a wedding gift for my niece and her husband. Black/white/cream is a favorite color combination to use and I liked the more contemporary look for a young couple. I have used this pattern several times.
