My good friend Lisa and her husband Aidan, were fortunate enough to adopt a sweet little girl last month. This is their first child and have waited a long time to become parents. I chose to make The Present Quilt because the new little girl is as much a gift to them as they are to her.

Double Irish Chain

I made this lap size quilt for my husband. His favorite color is John Deere green! Hence, the several shades of green. Quilt pattern is from Eleanor Burns and is all fabric by the yard. I used a Seminole pieced border to add interest.

SUMMER TABLE RUNNER

I have a sofa table in my great room and decorate it with seasonal table runners. I used a charm pack called Farmer's Market by RJR and used a tutorial by Jenny Doan, of course!!

Matthew's Quilt

I made this quilt for my son, Matthew, for his birthday. This quilt was made exclusively from yardage using templates. The machine quilter embroidered the quilt label information in a corner on the front side.

Wish Upon a Star

I am a beginner quilter and this is my first large quilt, that I made for my husband. I watched the MSQC videos on the pinwheel, hourglass, and square in a square block. I couldn't decide which block I liked best, so I decided to use them all. When they did not come out the same sizes, sashes were needed, and then cornerstones. There was even enough material left for a tumbler border. My husband loved his gift, and I enjoyed all the planning and sewing. Thanks for your encouragement and inspiration.

Got the Blues?

Adaptation of log cabin quilt, inspired by a photo I saw somewhere! Four squares joined together by bolder prints crossing in the middle. I wanted to elongate the quilt as it was square, thus the added strips at the top and bottom. Not yet quilted but backing is smaller flowers across center quilt and binding a small white swirl print, part of the collection but not used in the quilt.

Bargello

I took a Bargello class shortly after starting to quilt...I didn't know any better. This is the result of the class. We had an excellent instructor who made sure I knew what I was doing before I left the class. Someday I would like to make another Bargello.

Quilt of Valor for Husband

The Quilts of Valor Coordinator for Texas came to our guild about two years ago and did a presentation of the program and demonstrated how a QoV is draped on a soldier. So our guild made ten QoVs to give to ten local qualified Veterans. Since my husband was one of the chosen recipients, I decided that he would probably appreciate the quilt more if it came from me rather than a stranger, so I made this one and he has no idea. The Texas Coordinator will come to our event on July 11 and will present all of the QoVs in a special ceremony. We have invited the mayor, city council, county commissioners, county judge, as well as a few state politicians. I found the pattern for this quilt in Fons and Porter "Love of Quilting" issue from September/October 2012.

Chocolate Delights

For last Valentine's Day, I bought this delicious layer cake from Missouri Star Quilt Co. The top was from Jenny's Present Quilt video, and was completed in a few weeks. Then, I took some classes at Sew Right, a wonderful local fabric store, and had 2 large quilts and 5 small quilts to finish. This summer began with my pledge to finish my chocolate quilt. The back has 20 more chocolate squares with sashings in between. I even practiced free motion quilting designs. My husband is a very special guy, and this quilt is for him. Thanks for the inspiration, Jenny!

Going Batty

From the moment I saw a disappearing hourglass, all I could see were flying bats. The only question left was should this be a Batman quilt or Halloween quilt. A trip to the local fabric store and fate decided what I would make.

Irish Chain

I saw the pattern in MSQC Block and could not resist making this quilt. I love the use of only a couple color families. The quilter did a fantastic job and made this quilt spectacular.
