I needed a quick baby quilt and this was a good option. It was bright and practical and the alphabet is perfect for learning. The two purp cloths were made from left over fabric and the flannel backing.

Chloe's quilt

Used a jelly roll for the first time. Decided when I was half way through sewing the strips that it would be a lovely quilt for our niece for her 21st Birthday. Only the 2nd time I have completed a quilt using FMQ. Large meander with pebbles in the dividing strips. Quilted using Marti Michell's quilting in sections technique on my small Janome machine. I'm starting to enjoy FMQ.

Luck of the Irish

From the "Make Your First Quilt" book, (McCall's Best of Quilting), Paradigm Shift Pattern (by Janelle Cedusky). This was an easy (and Fun!) beginner project. The tricky part was laying out the blocks to get the off-center design. A more contemporary design, really fun picking out the black & white fabrics.

Quatrefoil - New Favorite - Thanks Jenny!

Ooooh, have you tried the Quatrefoil block yet? Watched Jenny's tutorial and used the Free Spirit Nostalgia 10" Squares Daily Deal to make this quilt. Cotton Supreme Solid - Beach House for sashing & background. First attempt at Flange Binding (also a Jenny tutorial!). Love, Love, Love! I need a massage after free-motion quilting this project, but I'm getting better!

Schrader's Healing Quilt

This quilt was made especially for a friend struggling with mental illness. The fabric is Batik, created using a centuries old technique allowing for artistic freedom as patterns are applied by actual drawing or stamping, rather than by weaving with thread. Each piece is truly unique with characteristics all it's own. Like Schrader. Browns and Copper represent the Earth, the Blues and Ivory represent water and sky. I wanted to reflect the warmth and power of the sun, the calm and soothing sound of the waves with my free motion quilting designs.

Fence Rail quilt

The pattern was called Cinnamon and Stones, but I made it out of batiks, and it looks like fence rails to me. Quilting design is Neptune.

Twinkling Stars for Christmas

Mom taught me to sew at the age of 10. She is an accomplished seamstress and quilter. Over the years she has made quilts for 8 of her children, 25 grandchildren, and 30 great grandchildren, numerous friends, and charities including Habitat and babies of addicted mothers. Now however, at 90 mom can’t quilt anymore because she is unable to leave her bed. I wanted her to see that her tradition lives on, each stitch sewn was a testament to my love for her and all the wonderful blessings she has given me and so many others.

No Longer a WIP Alter Ego

My Work in progress is now at the quilter. I finished the borders on Monday 11-27-17. Prepared the backing the next day. Took it to the quilter on Wednesday 11-29. I am planning to give it for a Christmas present so I will be burning the midnight oil to get the binding sewn on i'm slow.. The quilter said he should be finished by Dec 15th. I used Julia's Garden by Northcott Fabrics by Deborah Edwards. It is a 30's print for sure. That is where it is located at Fabric Depot. I gave this to my daughter Sarah for Christmas.She bought the layer cake for me to make something so I told her I would make it for her and she said oh no just make what ever you want. So I did.
