I made this Anniversary Star for my parent's 40th anniversary. It is made entirely out of scraps from mom's stash. It even got a 2nd place ribbon at the county fair.

Saw this cute pattern and wanted to try it. I love doing handwork. It was fun.

Little Buds

While on a quilting trip with my quilting buddy, Lana, we came across this Primitive Gatherings pattern and decided it was time to try a wool project. Through the process I learned, not only how to work with wool, but also how to use thangles. Who thinks up these things?? So glad they did!

Twisted Sugar Blocks

I loved Amy Gibson in the Craftsy 2012 BOM class. I learned different techniques (paper piecing!) and had fun. So when she started the Sugar Block Club in 2013 I had to join. I finally got around to putting the blocks together in a layout I thought up. I wanted the quilt to be big enough for at least a double bed and I had a few blocks that were smaller than the others. So, I framed them in one color and twisted them in another color. You can't tell which are small now! Then I made a piano key border out of the leftover fabric and added that to the top to make it even bigger and use up all my leftover fabric. This was my first attempt at mitering the border. I love it! The other two photos are tops my sister and our friend made. We all made the same blocks, but with different fabrics and different layouts.

Garden Party

On a quilting bus trip with my partner in crime, aka sister-in-law, I saw a couple of blocks for a BOM and fell in love with it. First of all it was all pastels. Secondly, it was embroidery. Third, is was flowers and I am an avid gardener. This BOM combined all my loves. It was so fun to do and I learned several new stitches for the crazy quilt blocks. I love how it turned out and it will hang in my refurbished sewing room (whenever I get that done).

Wooly Weathervane Wall Hanging

This is my first (and probably only) time working with wool for quilting. It was just "okay" and not thrilling to me. I prefer cotton quilting rather than wool applique stuff. I bought the pattern from Nancys Notions and made it to see if I liked doing it. I don't. LOL ... But I do like the finished piece and it hangs in my hallway.

Sandy Naturals Queen Sized Quilt

I made this quilt quickly right before Christmas for my oldest daughter and her fiance. (I had the crazy idea 2 weeks before Christmas to get THREE quilts done, one for each of our grown kids!) It was finished up right before Christmas Eve! WHEW!!! it's just big triangles and sashing, all in neutral beiges to coordinate with her bedroom decor. I pieced this quilt entirely on my 100+ year old treadle machine. Then I use the "quilt-as-you-go" free motion method on my Janome, rather than sending out a quilt top to someone to quilt for me.
