This is a Bonnie Hunter pattern. My sister-in-law admired it before I added the borders. She had an accident recently and broke her wrist. I decided to give her this quilt and surprised her with it today. She and my brother were both thrilled. I was quite pleased with the quilting which was done on my Sweet Sixteen. It's not perfect but I feel I'm making progress.

My First Large Quilt

I purchased the Lone Star quilt pattern from Eleanor Burns after watching her show where she made this quilt. I decided to give it try. I started out just making the star but kept adding fabric until I ended up with a king size quilt. As this was the first quilt I ever made and I thrilled it turned out as well as it did.

River Log Cabin

My sister, mom and I all got the exact same fabrics and we challenged each other to make 'secret' quilts! Cheri Sharp used the River Log Cabin pattern for her challenge quilt!

Beth's Birthday

For my grandmother's 95th birthday I made a 'chicken quilt'. She is famous in our family for making babies in the family 'chicken scratch quilts'. Each 'chicken' is actually the traced handprint of each of her 3 children, their spouses, her grandchildren, their spouses and her great-grandchildren. I deliniated the 3 families by color (red chickens, black chickens and yellow chickens). The combs are heart shaped. This was a labor of love and a miracle our family was able to all participate!

Biker Tee Shirt Quilt

This was made for a friend of mine who could no longer ride his motorcycle. He asked me to create a tee shirt quilt from all his biker tee shirts. This was my very first quilting project several years before I found Jenny and Missiouri Star Quilt Co. The blocks were cut larger than needed and stabilized with iron on interfacing before cutting into 12 inch square.

Four Patch Star Table Runner

I had left over blocks from several lap quilts so I decided to create a table runner. The borders highlight my girlfriends love for her household pets and the backing is in blue and white with french titles for the flowers. She also loves all things "French" and Paris is her favorite city. It is also my first attempt at machine quilting with a new machine I have since my previous machine an Elna was on its last legs and there was no way to drop the feed dogs. It was also a creative use of scraps that I had from left over 10", 2 1/2" and 5" squares.

Four Patch Star Quilt. Oversize lap size

This was a scrap buster project. Made from left over 2 1/2",5" and 10" squares. I also learned how to use my machine to quilt the top. Made for my best friend from high school who is currently undergoing many medical issues at this time. Her love for purple and music can also be found in several of the squares. The backing was a beautiful piece given to me from her as an error from her purchase on line. She had no idea what to do with this beautiful fabric panel. I saw it as an opportunity to enhance the back of her quilt to be used on both sides. Machine quilting done on this was done as a stitch in the ditch.

Orchid Shadows

I bought this fabric to make a quilt for my Sister-in-Law for her birthday...before I learned that her favorite color is blue! Anyway, I added a little more navy blue, but she'll still love it, I'm sure! :-)
