A friend gave me a jelly roll which I used to create this quilt from Jenny's Sunny Skies tutorial.

I fell in love with Songbird Christmas when Jenny had the layer cakes as the Daily Deal. Then I walked into my LQS and she had the panels with the birds on them and I came up with this quilt. It is the first quilt I ever sent to MSQC for quilting and they did a terrific job.

Quilt Kit

This was a kit. I really liked making the blocks, it worked up very quickly, and I will use this pattern for more quilts, maybe one in all solids.

Halloween Surprise

This quilt was made to use in the Fall and during the month of October. I used Cheeky Wee Pumpkins 10" squares and it went together quickly. I wanted to introduce a purple batik even though there is no purple in the Cheeky Wee Pumpkins fabric. To accomplish this I used purple batik in the 4-patches and again in the binding. Due to the fact I didn't have quite enough backing fabric I pieced a large 4-patch using four 10" squares I had leftover and centered it in the middle of the backing fabric. Machine quilting was done by the MSQC and I chose a spiderweb design.

Black, White, Hot Pink Disappearing Nine Patch

This is my black, white and hot pink disappearing nine patch. I have had this quilt in my mind to do since before I took my first quilting class. I finally did it!

The Dusty Ranch

This quilt was made for my sister while she was away working on a ranch in New Mexico. I love the quatrefoil pattern and wanted to see what it looked like when you boxed in the star. I think it worked well with the grey, black, dusty rose and beautiful equine pattern. This was also the first time I tried to fussy cut and maintain directionality!

Disappearing Nine Patch

The D9P is by far one of my favorite quilts to make. It's just so easy and super fun to put together. I made this lap quilt using a Larkspur Layer Cake by 3 Sisters for Moda. I bought the layer cake as a DD last year and couldn't figure out what to do with it. I wasn't even sure I liked the colors. One weekend I was bored and decided to grab the layer cake and make a D9P. I ended up really loving the colors. I also saw a tutorial on making a narrow flange, so I figured I'd try that on this quilt. The flannel backing was purchased last year from a store that had gone out of business and it just happened to match the colors in the quilt. I had my local long-armer quilt it for me. For beginner quilters, the D9P is definitely a winner.

Starbright mini quilt

For the 2016 NC Quilt Symposium, the Capital Quilters Guild was soliciting donations of 18” quilts to be placed in a silent auction for the benefit of Military Missions in Action, a local charity helping vets. The theme was to be a star. I drew out the pattern I wanted, with short and long arms, divided between light and darker gold batiks, and pieced using a navy starry batik. It took a little experimentation to get things right! Then I quilted it on my home machine and bound it with a dark blue batik. I was working the auction when a man came in, pointed straight at my quilt and said “this is COOL!” He came back and put in a higher bid than I had for this one. Last I checked the bid was over $50. I don’t know what it finally went for, but hopefully, someone is enjoying it.

Memory quilt

My husband passed away and was undecided as to what to do with his favorite shirts so I made two quilts one for each of my children . He loved colorful prints and especially if they were yellow.

Memory quilt for a dear friend

Was visiting my friend in Ca. She lost her son 7 yrs. ago. We were going through a box of his college shirts, she was going to give them away, I told her to pick out his favorites and I would make a quilt from them, she would have a piece of him for many years to come and memories of the times he wore the shirts.
