I found this quilt top in an antique shop. It was tucked down under a table and I had to really reach for it. It was very very dirty but was in good shape for it's age. The white squares are made from old flour and sugar sacks and I'm guessing it was made in the late 30's. Not much was square and true with it but I bordered it, sandwiched it, and backed it with a cheery red polka dot fabric. I quilted it using my sit down free motion quilting machine. I love this red and white quilt and am so glad I found and rescued it!!

My own idea here with some improvisations of course. Jenny quick hour glass block is added to the moonbeam blocks and sashed together so I could do it as quilt as you go. It's reversible. .blue and white on the back. Those are prairie points around the edges. Kona Grecian Waters fq bundle plus yardages.

Fruit of the Spirit

I made this quilt for my Mom as a Christmas present. Will give it to her this year 2016. I happened to see the fruit of the spirit fabric while in Montana last summer and immediately thought of my Mom. She has always been a big spiritual example in my life and it is impossible to have a conversation with her without hearing her giving praise to God. It took a long time to find fabric that matched that color of purple and gold. Wow... lot harder than I thought it would be. It wasn't until I saw the tutorial for the studio star that a pattern popped into my head. I used the tutorial for that star and then finished it with the sashing and alternating the squares. I can't wait to give it to her this year. :-)

Shadows

The local Quilts For Comfort charity has been asked for more 'masculine' themes for boys/young men between 16 and 20, so I'm trying to come up with gender neutral ideas and thought this was a suitable bright simple idea

Bookcase Quilts

I've been looking at bookcase quilts for ages and finally decided it's an ideal way to use up single strips of leftover fabric (I know - to a quilter nothing is truly a leftover, just not yet assigned). It came out too small for a bed so I backed it with fleece and think it's just right for curling up with a good book on the sofa this winter

strip quilt from 3 dudes-missoure star quilt

Saw the quilt on line at 3 dudes - Missouri star site( in blues) loved it and decided to make it with Rainbow Jelly Roll. Bought black by the yard to make sashing in between blocks. Entered it in Lincoln County Fair this week. It wasn't until I posted this on Facebook that I realized through the comments that the crosses showed up. I love this quilt and my next one will be black sashing with purple jelly roll for our guest room! Don't know yet how it made out at the Fair yet but will know soon!

Halloween Quilt

I love Halloween! I made this fun quilt using Jenny's "Zipper Quilt" tutorial and a 'Monster Bash' Jelly Roll. Quilt measures 44" x 50". Note: the tutorial uses charm squares for this size, with a jelly roll you can do a twin or another small quilt. The quilting is "Along Came a Spider" Pantograph from Urban Elementz
