Joyous

I only took up making quilts a couple of years ago, inspired by seeing a friend’s quilt on Facebook. Jenny Doan’s Tutorials have helped me enormously, without her I wouldn’t have known where to start! I only manage to get to the sewing machine a few hours a week, usually supervised by my cat, Fliss, but I’m building a huge stash for when I retire!

Tiny quilt
A toy Pram size quilt made for the big sister of the expected new baby so she wouldn’t be jealous of the one made for the new baby!

Door curtain
We had a door that always felt cold in the winter time but a few 2 1/2 strips brightened up the thermal curtain a treat!

Not quite finished
I saw a tutorial by Jenny on the Keyhole quilt - and decided to add sashing - I’m quite pleased with the result, just need to add batting, backing and get quilting to finish it!

My first huge quilt
Inspired by the log cabin block, I made this one for myself!! The team at MSQC did an awesome job quilting it for me - so all I had to do at the end was the binding!

Ballerina Monkey
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.

Jewel toned charm quilt on point
I loved the tutorial for this quilt by Jenny yesterday. I look forward to the MSQC tutorial every week. I had to make this quilt right away. This will be a wedding gift for a friend. I wanted to have smaller borders, so I made four borders. I love the look of the tiny border. I just finished free motion quilting the quilt for a wedding in two days :-)

Autumn's Window
I made this quilt for my husband when I realized that I hadn't made him a quilt yet. My husband loves the outdoors, so when I saw Jenny's attic window tutorial, I knew I was going to make it for my husband. I wanted a bigger quilt so I added leaves and flying geese. I braided thread around the needle as I was sewing to make the leaf stems. I used a scrappy binding. This is the first quilt that I had a longarmer quilt.

Southwest Lonestar
Oh, goodness, This has been in storage for several years. I finally decided to get it back out and start quilting on it. I thought I would try doing it all by hand. Will see when I get to the borders how I feel then, Ha Ha Ha This is a winter project and it's in progress. The colors aren't true on screen. I'm using 12' boards on my stretcher frame and I almost ran out of room, so this is an extra large king. I used Jan Krentz's instructions for this Lonestar. It is FINISHED!!! 101 X 101 inches

54, forty or fight
I like the illusion of curved piecing in the 54 forty or fight quilt pattern. I watched the Missouri star tutorial which really simplified the piecing. I used two different gray fabrics in the background with the lighter in the center blocks which kind of gives a medallion effect. I wanted to quilt it simply and quickly but of course that didn't happen.... Feathers, swirls, and curved dot to dot with a ruler. This is for the full size bed in the guest room. Quilt is 88x82 inches so has a nice drop on the bed. Now just need to make a couple of coordinating shams....

Nova quilt
Update: 8th quilt I quilted on my longarm. Quilted with Urban Elementz "Marmalade" pattern and hand bound. - I started piecing this (mostly batik) blue and yellow GE Designs "Nova" pattern quilt when I found out that my friend's 20 year old daughter has stomach cancer. She is having surgery today. Her favorite colors are sky blue and yellow. I'll quilt it on Wednesday after the tropical storm passes. 68" x 82" posted 8/3/2020

Cotton Rainbow with a Twist
I loved this Cozy Quilt Designs pattern. I changed the background from a light color to black and added the pieced boarders around the sides. Finished size after washing is 56" x 56". I had this quilted by MSQC. They did a great job!

Tea Time
I saw this pattern on YouTube that utilized strip sets, I had a jelly roll on the shelf, and have had too much time on my hands with COVID closings. My daughter loves purples and greens. This was quilted by MSQC. They did a great job!
