QuiltsBy.me

I was introduced to a darling old 'Treadle' sewing machine about 7 years ago after my sister saw her on a local community notice board 'for sale'. I went & met her right away and have not really hung out with her at all in that time I have just admired her & wondered what her history is and what stories she could share with me. Recently I got the urge to do a real catch up with this old darling :) After tweaking her tension of being alone for so long, we got to know each other and became rather good friends :) I made a coffee & pulled out my box of scrappy crumb fabrics (as I do with my friends) and this old darling & I went for a real work out together. It was like no other gym that I had ever been to. LOL I decided that since my sister introduced me & this old darling "Treadle" that she could have the first item made at the first meeting. Yes, I am going to have coffee and a chat with "Treadle" again in the not too distant future as we have formed a real lasting friendship.

Dad's 95th Birthday Present

This quilt started as a way to use up some of my stash. The solids were from a charm pack and the background was left over from another projects. I decided to build on half square triangles and played with various layouts. It is such a cheerful quilt, I decided to give it to my dad for his 95th birthday. Then I decided to make it extra special by having all his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, and various spouses, sign it. I think there are 30 signatories.

Grand baby Quilt

For my granddaughter arriving end of March. My son and daughter-in-law requested it have an owl on it. I found a picture of an owl that I liked and made the appliqué. I used fabric from my stash for this super simple quilt.

Silver Stones 2

Posted Silver steps previously but it wasn't long arm quilted and the binding (obviously) wasn't on. Ann, at Blue House Quilting finished all the long arm quilting and I just finished the binding.

Big T in Greens!

Something I saw inspired me to think green. Then I saw this pattern and the green really took hold. I found two green prints in my stash and it became evident really quickly which one went with my “solid” green leftovers. I really liked how it looked in my brain as a center medallion in a large bed of white. After a quick consultation with my design team (Mom, Aunt, and sisters) I made more and pushed it to a queen size. Then I had to ask a friend how do you figure giant triangles for on point blocks? She found a great tool! And the best thing it worked! https://www.allpeoplequilt.com/sites/allpeoplequilt.com/files/uploads/cutting_setting_squares_and_trianges.pdf Then I made myself crazy by putting a tiny strip of white in the borders. Why am I posting before it is finished? Because I am planning on some interesting repetition of the piecing in the quilting; and it is only half formed in my brain so those types of projects can sit for a year in my to-do pile as the designs percolate.

Pumpkin Patched Quilt

I finished hand binding this Pumpkin Patched quilt. I won the pattern from Bre @bretquiltdesigns on Instrgram and received most of the fabrics used from a MSQC end of bolt box. This is the second time I used this type of sashing and nine patch cornerstones in a quilt. I quilted it with Wasatch Quilting design called Pumpkin Patch. I bound it with a Tula Pink orange stripe bias binding. 102" square

Silver Stones

Having recently just lost my husband, I am first now able to get back to quilting. This is called Silver Stones and the designer is Ariga Mahmoudlou and all the materials are from Robert Kaufman using the Wishwell - Silverstone pattern. Has to be long arm quilted yet but the finished top is 70" x80".

Little Blessings Scraps

I purchased a bag of scraps several years ago, left over from Nancy Davis Murty making samples with her fabrics by Andover, at her studio in Palmyra. Lots of triangles, squares, and parts of the border fabric (larger strips which I put on the back). I added a few more pieces from her line and came up with this child's quilt.

Kendyl Loves Purple!

I was inspired by Jenny's Baby Blocks Quilt. I decided to use charms squares instead of 2 1/2" squares. I ended up with huge white corners and triangles. It took several months to decide on the appliqué design to fill all the white space and another year to finish all the appliqué. I think Kendyl is going to love it because she loves purple!
