I had purchased a jelly roll, not even knowing what it was or what I was going to do with the fabric. This is my very first quilt.

Summer in the Park

I saw the tutorial with this pattern and thought it looks amazing and easy to do. I did have issues cutting the blocks and all the bias edges but it came out ok!

Love of owls

I fell in love with the fabric simply because I love owls. I wanted to use a pattern that would show off the fabrics. Layer cake lemonade with Happy Harvest

Birchen

I saw a tutorial for this quilt and it she made it seem possible even for a newb like me. I loved the fabrics because they reminded me of camping and hiking with my husband.

Fair Isle Quilt

I bought the Winter Wonderland quilt and the first pattern that spoke to me. The pattern did red fabric but my husband picked this blue and it reminds me of Frozen. It is the first one I've done sewing strips together and sub cutting. Now the hardest part - can I part with it?

Big Star Wedding Quilt

I made this Big Star for my daughter's wedding. She picked the fabrics for the stars. It was not difficult and makes a big statement. I used 7" squares cut from yardage to make the stars and followed Jenny's tutorial. I had it quilted by a LQS.

Summer in the Park

Summer in the Park is a quick and fun quilt. I went scrappy by mixing up the blocks. I'd probably not use the navy and red strips or the very light background with large print. I used quilt as you go on the 16" squares. I was really happy to see how well the pre-quilting lines came together where blocks joined.

Pillows

My mentor had given me pillow kits that she bought in 1992. I thought I would make them and give them back to her for her birthday. I had so much fun learning how to do the patterns. It was a great introduction in what I can do.

Zen Garden

This is the Ground Cover pattern by Me and My Sister (available free at http://www.meandmysisterdesigns.com/patterns/downloads/ground_cover.pdf). I loved the design and had a layer cake that would be perfect. I used Sakura Sundaes by The Henley Studio for Makower UK. The pattern goes together very quickly. The crazy idea to quilt it like a zen garden caused a bit of issue. I have since fixed the presser foot pressure so that I don't get so much fabric pushing.

Dale Earnhardt Remembrance

My brother, Gary was is real fan of the NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt. He was killed over 10 years ago and my brother still misses him. He ask me if when I made him a quilt could it have red fabric in memory of Dale Earnhardt. I didn't tell him but thought if I was lucky I might find some laying around someplace. I only found 1 piece but that was enough. I used the black and white effervescent which gave the look of chrome. I did the Checkmark Bargello by Susie Weaver. I am very please with the results and Gary was blown away when he saw it. 2015 County Fair was in our city and this quilt took a 1st Place Ribbon and Best In Show Ribbon. Very excited because we have some amazing quilters in this city.

Autumn in New England

The inspiration for this confetti/art wall hanging came from a photo taken by my dad in New England years ago. The background, grass & trees are appliqued. The leaves were made from several colors of batiks that were cut into confetti size pieces.....then placed on the background. I added a layer of black tulle over the whole thing for texture & to hold confetti in place. Then added FMQ over the leaves & the grassy areas.........I used red, yellow & brown Floriani embroidery thread. I saw the confetti technique online & in a magazine article & wanted to try it. This was a Christmas gift for my dad. The size is 10" x 13". Here are a few progress photos & inspiration picture.

Double Crossed

I made this quilt for a gentleman that has recently retired. He moved to South Carolina and promises to send me a photo of himself with it on his lap, in his rocking chair on the front porch. Maybe when the weather is cooler. It is an Amy Smart pattern but it resembles Summer in the Park. I am trying that one next. I did FMQ on my Babylock.
