I made this RIBBON BOX QUILT, by Cloud9 Fabrics for my new granddaughter. Her mom requested mint green, peach and gray colors. I added a touch of yellow. There are no "blocks" in this pattern. It's made by creating rows, piece by piece, with no borders. The straight line quilting was done by a LQS because I'm still not the best at FMQ on my domestic machine. It was definitely one of my favorites...so much fun to create!

Our Big Star Quilts

After our visit last summer to MSQC the 3 of us, our Mother, June Koenig my sister, Diane Dasher and me, Cindy Crist, spent time together piecing the Big Star Quilt with a Christmas/Winter twist. We will treasure these quilts and the time spent together. A former employee at the local quilt shop suggested that I view the MSQC website a few years ago and I was hooked. I have since shared my love for the MSQC with many others. You will notice that the borders on the quilts are not all the same. The backs of the quilts are all different. Diane's is pieced to look like a Christmas package wrapped in red paper with a white bow. Mom's is a single piece of black and white print. The back on mine is black and white polka dots pieced with a strip of left over 5 in squares. Mom has the fabric to piece another one of the Big Star Quilts in a Blue Christmas theme. All 3 of the quilts were machine quilted by me on my Grace frame with a mid-arm Janome 16P.

Jelly Roll Race 2

I re-watched the Jelly Roll Race tutorials - and as Jenny says, we all have those jelly rolls that we have purchased and just haven't opened - so I broke that band - on a Story Book Play Time circa 1930's jelly roll - and did a Jelly Roll Race 2! This is destined to be bordered in a 1930's print and then will be sent to MSQC for quilting.

I spy for two Brothers

After watching Jenny's tutorial a few weeks ago on the I spy quilt and then purchasing the daily deal I realized this quilt would make a perfect gift for the assistant principal at my daughters school who is getting ready to have her second boy. Her oldest is only 5, so I figured this would be something great they can lay the baby on and then play a game at the same time. Plus as they grow older they can both play. This is also the first quilt I have finished start to finish and used a longarm for the first time.

You've got Mail

I watched a tutorial of Jenny's. I think it was the first one I watched and was so excited I had to make it. I had a Christmas cake squares and decided to call it you have Christmas cards.

Goodnight Irene

I have loved all the 1930s reproduction fabrics and have been itching to make something with them. When I received the first BLOCK magazine subscription I fell in love with this pattern! So here it is and I am thrilled because I used wool batting for the first time and this is going to be my winter-snuggle-on-the-couch quilt.....well who am I kidding, in Alaska you sometimes need that in the summer as well!!

DP9 On Point

When I made this quilt, I had never heard of "on-point". All I knew is that I didn't have enough charms to make the size I wanted. So, in trying to make it work I turned the blocks sideways, Then had to figure out how to bridge the gap. When all was said and done, this was the results. It wasn't until I posted the quilt, that I learned that there was a name for the way it was set. Who Knew??
