Working my way through my siblings, this one is for my middle brother. I wanted to see what I could do with one charm pack and a few fat quarters. I found the colors soothing and summery.

Rolling Stones

My adult son picked this pattern and wanted it done in greens. I added the green border and the diamond border to make a generous queen size. It's the biggest quilt that I have made 98"x98".

Tote Bag

This is the second bag I made using the tutorial by Crafty Gemini and Jenny. I love the style, added pockets inside and a loop closure, and using Jenny's zipper pouch tutorial, made a matching pouch!

Chopped Block Baby Quilt

My niece is expecting her first child and requested that I make a baby quilt with the colors black, gold and white. Here's the finished quilt. I had purchased earlier this year a group of fat quarters at a quilt show with no idea what I was planning to do with them. So I was surprised when she requested the black, gold and white and that I had fabrics with those colors already.

Memories of Papa

My daughter-in-law's grandfather died last winter. She asked me to make a quilt from some of his shirts. It was one of the harder projects I've done because the fabrics were all so different. But it was also fulfilling to give her a gift of memories. The back is made from large pieces of shits, but also includes, at her request, a sleeve. She wants to be able to slip her arm in one of his sleeves and get a Papa hug. The quilt design is taken from images of his gardens and his love of family. The small doll sized quilt was made from leftover scraps for one of his great grandchildren.

Amy is a wonderful person, and a true friend, has always been there for Me, when work gets hard, we can lean on each other.... I make my quilts for my loved ones in my family, and Amy is the only person I have given a quilt to at work, but Amy is part of our family, My husband Danny adored her..... These pictures do not show how pretty this quilt turned out, it is so pretty, and I loved the backing fabric with it.

Westin´s Quilt

This was my second quilting project - for our second grandchild. I found the idea for this quilt while browsing through the internet. Being inexperienced, I cut out all the triangles indiviually. Later I discovered Jenny´s tutorials. Thanks for all the great tips.

Another Hourglass

For this hourglass block quilt, I used yellow, black and gray squares and some left over strips from a jellyroll. Quick and fun block to make. If you haven't seen Jenny's quick hourglass tutorial, go watch it!

"Swirls & Curls"

A picture of this quilt was sent to me as my daughter's choice for her Christmas gift. I was able to find a friend that had the templates. So I proceeded. Took me 8 months & over 40 different fabrics to succeed. I discovered that in order to get the blocks to interact with each other, I had to turn the templates over to get mirror image blocks. Was an interesting project. I had it quilted with a "Bubbles" design which fit right in with the block design.

Disappearing 9 Patch - Couch to Quilt Project

I needed a quilt, I had a pattern, project box, and a little motivation. You do get a charm pack and white fabric for the border included in this kit. In order to make the Disappearing 9 Patch I needed another charm pack. I sewed all my 9 patches. Cut them up, Sewed them back together. Added Sashing. Added a border. Now it is time to send it off to MSQC. I read the directions - OOPS! I wasn't suppose to make it bigger. I am calling in the morning to see if I can still have it quilted. I learned something very important - READ DIRECTIONS FIRST BEFORE ANY SEWING PROJECT. The quilt ended up cute and will make a great gift. U.P.D.A.T.E.: The MSQC staff is excellent at solving problems. Before calling them I was curious at how much it would cost to have it machine quilted. I put my inches into their calculator, now I had an idea of the actual cost. During our phone conversation, since it was my error I asked how much more would it cost to have it machine quilted? The cost was 1/3 the cost of the actual machine quilting cost. {Thank-You} I offered to include the backing and complete the binding. I just finished the backing, - a fat quarter Disappearing 9 patch - 1 block. Thanks for making it possible to finish this quilt. I now have my first Christmas Present for 2016. {I will update pictures when it is finished.} MSQC - is one of the friendliness companies out there. 2ND UPDATE: WHEW! I just finished the binding and I am off to wrap this gift. I just love the colors and the flange binding. The more quilting that you do, your quilting skills do improve. I am updating the pictures. Thanks and Merry Christmas Everyone.
