QuiltsBy.me

A baby quilt for a friend. Half square triangles for the hunter's stars and zig- zag border. I used a variety of left overs from a charm pack, fabrics from other projects, and white and navy swiss dot for the back ground, I pieced some minky for the back, (there was just not enough of the green). Free motion feathers and some ruler work on my mid arm machine.

Peggy's Quilt #20 - Spectrum Stars

Peggy's Quilt #20 - This is a quilt kit purchased from Craftsy and designed by Stacey Day {https://staceyinstitches.com/tag/spectrum-stars/}. I bought it in December 2016 in order to practice paper piecing, and finally got around to piecing it in October 2017. It was pretty fun. The kit had more than enough left-over fabric to add a 1" scrappy border as well as a 1.5" white border. The finished lap quilt size is 52"x63". The free-motion long-arm quilting was created by Lyn Durbin of Camlyn Quilts. The edge-to-edge pattern is called 'Swirls with a Tail'. The entire project took about 3 weeks to complete, not counting the time it was away for long-arm quilting. I love the vibrancy of the colors in Tula Pink’s True Colors and Birds and Bees remix fabric line. The batting is 80/20 cotton/poly, and the backside is another Tula Pink fabric that coordinates. I love quilting! Peggy (posted March 31, 2018)

Flying My Geese Home

I loved the idea of this quilt when I saw Jenny's video tutorial. I knew I'd have to make one. I used a Tonga Treat pkg in Creamsicle, a grey from my stash for the geese. The border was a print I found at WalMart and just loved the big scale print. The center of the flowers was a very bright yellow that didn't quite work with the muted colors of the batiks so I fixed that with a permanent marker in a muted pink that made a lovely orange shade over the yellow. The piecing went together quickly but I didn't get to quilting it right away. Am glad I waited. My quilting is constantly improving so I'm very pleased with this one. I do like to use up the big pieces in my stash for my backings, I like them to be interesting too, this one is pretty bold.

Aloha Jelly Girl

I make quilts for all of my coworkers when they are expecting a baby. The design for this one is based on Fig Tree and Co's Jelly Girl pattern. I used the Creative Grids 60 degree double strip ruler, which worked like a charm. I tried my best to follow Angela Walter's tutorial for a Feather Meander design for the quilting. I'm very happy with how it turned out. :)

Quilt of Valor - Parade Rest

I meet with 2 quilter friends every Wednesday, and one day we decided we needed to do Quilts of Valor for as many local veterans as we could. This is our 2nd QOV. Another friend with a longarm machine quilts them for us. This one will be awarded to a 93 year old WWII veteran.

Butterflies for Emily

My daughter LOVES butterflies. I used a Kaffe Fassett jelly roll and the MSQC tutorial to make this quilt. I used a darker purple sashing between the wings to make the butterflies stand out more. I also backed it in a super plush fleece material so it’s extra snuggly. I free motion quilted it on my home machine with a free hand butterfly meander and loops.

Into the Stacks

I made this from Jenny's Stacks quilt tutorial for a friend who researches archives a lot. I had to make and quilt it in two seperate pieces as I only have a tiny sewing machine. She loved it! I have made over a 100 quilts of all types as gifts on this little machine. It is about to give up the ghost, maybe time to get a new one. I learned from books long before youtube but have to say it is a fantastic resource. I am still learning every time I quilt!

Summer Tumbling Blocks

**update: I first put this quilt on Bothtwins, before I made my own page, so apologies for the duplicate entry. Haven't figured out how to delete it there.) My first quilt. 08-2014 started cutting, 02-15-2015 finished piecing. This pattern by Liza Prior Lucy is in Kaffe Fassetts' book "Quilt Romance". In retrospect, I wouldn't recommend this pattern, as it calls for paper templates and scissors (techniques have improved) but it's lovely. I collected sale fabric for months before deciding on the pattern, Tumbling Blocks, which I always wanted to knit but just couldn't face 9 colors per row Fair-Isle, and if you've ever seen Kaffe's knit sweater patterns you know what I mean. Fast forward 25 years and here's my chance at Tumbling Blocks! I sent it off for top-stitching at Pacific Fabrics, a locally-owned small chain store and chose Hobbs poly-blend batt. Finished the binding on 04-24-2015. Queen size 94" x 98". I had enough leftovers to make a bolster cover and 4 pillowcases. I have to say that, at the time, I thought I had only one quilt in me (other hobbies, right?) but that is not how it turned out. Stay tuned.

Star Quilt

My daughter and I made this quilt together--she picked out the fabric collection, we picked the pattern together, laid it out together, and I did the piecing and quilting. She (and her cat) are enjoying it.

Pins and PawsQuilt

My youngest daughter and her husband love cats. A couple of years ago they moved into their new home and brought along their cats. When trying to decide which quilt to make for the two of them, I came across the Pins and Paws pattern. It was easy and quick to make. I made the quilt in the colors of her décor. They loved the quilt!
