I made this quilt for our son from the Zombie Apocalypse fabric. I used the Illusion block tutorial as a guide but changed block sizes. The back was pieced from assorted matching fabrics that I had on hand. Spiral quilting was done with the walking foot on my 30 year old Kenmore. It was my first quilt using a walking foot. The size is 58" x 68".

Grandma Flowers

I made this quilt for my aunt. My grandma always had amaryllis growing around her house & our family called them "Grandma Flowers". My aunt loved the quilt. It is about 48 x 56 inches. The "brick" wall background is pieced from scraps. The batik flowers are appliqued. Top part of the quilt is machine quilted around random blocks and the bottom part is FMQ. I found the amaryllis flower design in a stained glass book at the library. For the label I used a picture of grandma's house.

Autumn in New England

The inspiration for this confetti/art wall hanging came from a photo taken by my dad in New England years ago. The background, grass & trees are appliqued. The leaves were made from several colors of batiks that were cut into confetti size pieces.....then placed on the background. I added a layer of black tulle over the whole thing for texture & to hold confetti in place. Then added FMQ over the leaves & the grassy areas.........I used red, yellow & brown Floriani embroidery thread. I saw the confetti technique online & in a magazine article & wanted to try it. This was a Christmas gift for my dad. The size is 10" x 13". Here are a few progress photos & inspiration picture.

Spring Time Crazy Quilt

I made this quilt for my mother-in-law as a Christmas gift. Jenny's Crazy Quilt tutorial (Halloween theme) was the inspiration. I added sashing and an appliqued vine & leaves. The blocks were very easy to make. This was the first quilt that I tried FMQ.

Saints Quilt

This is the Saints throw size quilt that I made for my husband for Christmas a few years ago. Almost all of the 2" squares were in a box of scraps, already cut, that I got at the garage sale. The layout was my own. I added a couple of pictures of him watching the big game with friends when the Saints won the SuperBowl. He had no idea I was working on this so he was very surprised. This was my first completed quilt project.
