My son-in-law passed away suddenly and on the same day my daughter discovered she was pregnant. After my granddaughter was born, my daughter gave me his jeans for safe keeping. We discussed making a quilt with them for my granddaughter someday. This year it has been 10 years since her daddy (Daddy Mike) passed away and my granddaughter turns 10 this year; seemed like a good time to make that quilt. Although my granddaughter has another daddy now, she refers to him as "Daddy Mike in Heaven." The hearts in the quilt represent how much Daddy Mike loves her and the stars represent him watching over her from Heaven.

Burgundy

I just finished this one. Jenny inspired me with the Diamond Fence Rail tutorial. I believe she used solid black diamonds. I decided to alternate rows of different color diamonds diagonally. Then I wanted to make the quilt bigger so I added sashing and the mountain border. It still wasn't big enough so I added more sashing, the flying geese halfway down the sides, and a burgundy to finish the top and bottom. I appliquéd some trees, bear and stars on the end of the sides. Thanks again Jenny!

In Memory of My Dad for Matthew

A friend of my daughter's lost his life in a motorcycle accident last fall and left behind an eight year old son. My daughter asked me to do a memory quilt using shirts she got from the family. I just completed a memory quilt for the young boy using the Disappearing Hourglass pattern and I want to share it with you. 9.5 inch squares were cut from the shirts. Thanks Missouri Star Quilt Company for all your great ideas. Love your patterns and tutorials as well as the Block magazine.

Cleo Squares

I made two quilts with one layer cake; this one and a Double Slice. I believe I cut the 10" squares down to 8 1/2" to use the trimmings in the narrow border. I photographed this one among Japanese Irises.

Baby Quilt in Herringbone

I love half square triangles! There is so much you can do with them! I must've laid out my squares in about ten different patterns before deciding on this one. I feel so blessed living among such beautiful flowers as they seem to be the backdrop of many of my photos. This one is no exception, the hydrangeas in Japan are simply amazing.

JELLY ROLL RACE

I made this one with leftovers of some of my favorite colors, just start cutting 2 1/2" strips, then sewed them all together, and I love how the colors blended and contrasted. This one is on my bed and my favorite. I also made a purse using these same fabrics.

I Spy Jar

My new grandson needed a quilt that would occupy his mind. I saw MSQC's I Spy Quilt and gave it a try. Made from a layer cake of cool crawly things and food items. He loves it!
