This was made with a batik jellyroll. I added appliqued boats made from regular quilting fabric. I got feedback from some wonderful quilters on the Missouri Star Quilt Forum about how to quilt it. I love the way it turned out. My niece loved it as well and hung it in the baby's room over his bed.

The Ribbon Box Quilt

I made this RIBBON BOX QUILT, by Cloud9 Fabrics for my new granddaughter. Her mom requested mint green, peach and gray colors. I added a touch of yellow. There are no "blocks" in this pattern. It's made by creating rows, piece by piece, with no borders. The straight line quilting was done by a LQS because I'm still not the best at FMQ on my domestic machine. It was definitely one of my favorites...so much fun to create!

Penny's Quilt

I love this quilt .... I stressed on what quilt to make My sister Penny for her birthday .... she is very fussy ... and then I found this MSQC pattern called Penny Lane ... and so I took it as a sign ... and I made this quilt for her ... I changed the fabric but I loved the way it turned out .. and I wanted to keep it for myself ... but I gave the quilt to My sister ..... who was less than happy with it ... she said "I don't like those colors" ... I was crushed ... I told her to bring it back and I would gladly make her another one .. she could pick out the fabric ... but no ... she kept the quilt.... I found out she loves it now ... and is very protective of it .... this makes me happy because I loved it.

Cancer Sucks

My mom's husband was diagnosed with a few different types of cancer and had to start chemo. When I found out, I had received a Missouri Star email with a layer cake in it called Pure & Simple Wovens. It dawned on me that I needed to make Paul a quilt. And that layer cake was the one for the job! I ordered it and when I arrived I wondered what pattern to use. Had to be manly, and match the layer cake. I had always wanted to do a chevron quilt, and it quikly made the top of the list. I watched the Missouri Star Quilt chevron tutorial and then began the process. The chevrons were easy and I loved how they came together. Then I needed to buy the backing fabric. I went to our local fabric paradise, an acre and a half of fabric. There is a lot to chose from, I can spend (and have spent) hours in that store. But this trip had a mission. So I took in some of my scraps and looked at a fabric. Not that one. Then the next fabric litterally jumped off the shelf at me. I didn't need to look any further, it was the only one that would have worked. So two fabrics in, and I had found what I wanted. That didn't keep me from perusing for a while though, it IS a fabric paradise afterall.... I was then able to use my brand new mid arm and Dream Frame to quilt it. I chose to quilt the "white" chevron and leave the color one alone. Thinking it would pop more. I am very happy with how it turned out. This was my very first quilt that I had done from start to finish. Finding the perfect fabric, the right pattern, all the cutting, sewing, sandwhiching, quilting, hand sewing the binding and hand embroidery of the quilt label. I could hardly wait to gift it. It was well received, but the most touching part came the next day. My mom sent me a picture. Paul had asked if he really could use the quilt, my mom just kind of laughed, he pulled the quilt down over him amd she said he was asleep in moments. The picture made me cry, and I love it. That was the moment that made it all worth it, every second of the process. Quilting is so good for the soul.

Sampler

This is my first sampler quilt and it was so much fun to plan and piece! I can't wait to do another! I've had this JR for a couple years now and had no idea what to do with it and I think it worked perfectly. I found the pattern in Jelly Roll Sampler Quilts by Pam & Nicky Lintott. There are several great patterns in this book. I picked up this book in the library but love it so much I may have to buy my own copy! **While taking photos of my quilt we landed in a nest of baby grasshoppers, we must've had about 15 jumping all over us!

Peggy's Quilt #18 - Bermuda Batiks

This was my quilting project from October 2016 through February 2017. It's my 18th quilt, and is named for the tropical feel of the batik colors. The pattern is "Disappearing Hourglass 2" by Jenny Doan at MSQC. There is a tutorial video on YouTube from December 2014. The pattern is also in BLOCK magazine Winter Vol. 2, issue 1, starting on page 16. My finished quilt size is 65”x65” and the fabrics for the top are assorted batiks with Wilmington Essential Paisley White on White, which I also used for the mitered borders, backside and binding. While I did the piecing, I still send my quilts out to a LAQ expert for long arm quilting. Lynn Durbin at Camlyn Quilts in Smokey Point, Washington has done most of my quilts! I think of 'quilting' as the pattern selection, color and fabric selection and piecing, and then I leave the LAQ part to someone with a talent for that part of the process. Posted by Peggy on June 7, 2017. I love quilting!

Irish Chain on Point

I made this quilt for my favorite cousin David. We are very close in age and have always been good friends...no special occasion for the quilt..its a "just because" quilt. I used Moda Grudge ...it may be my all time favorite fabric. I FMQ'd it with a very large swirl and loop pattern.

Lemon Star Stash Quilt

Periodically I go through my fabric and pull old, small pieces, and really anything that looks like it would be tough to incorporate into a quilt. Recently I had done just that then I saw Jenny Doan's Lemon Star tutorial. I thought my retired fabrics might be just perfect for this since they really seemed to be a bunch of disjointed florals. Since I was working with weird shapes and sizes I cut all of the triangles and then paired them up. It worked great and I ended up with more than enough blocks to create a throw size quilt that are then used locally for shrouds by the hospital. The white background really makes the stars (flowers) stand out. It is quilted with an overall large meander.

Winding Ways

One of my boxes of collecting fabrics were some wonderful blues. But, I had no clue what to do with them. The Winding Ways pattern intrigued me; but I like to have a recipient in mind before embarking on a quilt. I seem to get them completed in a more timely manner. My Sister-In-Law was excitedly showing me her collection of Blue Danube dishes...blue and white! I looked around and egads! Her whole house was pretty much in blue and white! I peaked in her bedroom; queen sized! I contacted a niece for Sister-In-Law's children's phone numbers and I texted them. The agreed to pay the amount to finish the quilt and I set off. Man, this pattern really was difficult in that the curves had to be right to come out at the centers! Did the flip flop of the centers to get them as flat as possible. Using Google images I looked at a lot of these quilts quilting. A meander distorted the curves. So, I quilted a 1/4 inch from the seams (echoed) and highlighted all the curves. It actually helped to even them out. In the border I used elements of the dishes to create a continuous line. Her kids gave it to her at Christmas. She claimed she won! Another Sister-In-Law wanted everybody to pass their present to the left so she would end up with the quilt.
