I saw the tutorial for the Alter Ego Quilt and loved it. Then I saw the fabric Catalina by Maywood Studios and knew the two were made for each other. This is my first project of 2017. I started it on Sunday January 1 after I came home from Church. I sewed the final border piece on Friday the 6th at 7:30 in the morning. This is fast for me.

Daybreak

This was inspired by my sister-in-law. She told me one day if she wanted a quilt she would buy one.So over a few months I asked her what colors she liked and sent her a couple quilt pictures to see if she like them.Then I saw the video on Jordan Fabrics and I knew it was the one.I bought the pattern and then went to Jo-Ann fabrics and picked out the Black/White and bought the Gold and background White at Fabric Depot.Started cutting and sewing and just finished this much of it a few days ago.I am going to put 2 borders in Gold and Black. I did use the Tutorial Daybreak Quilt Pattern using a Strip Set from Jordan Fabrics on Youtube. Cozy Quilt Designs made this originally in Batiks. You can go to there site on Youtube and watch it.

Cake Mix Quilt

I thought the Moda Cake Mix looked interesting. I already had a layer cake I purchased from MSQC so I started in sewing on the lines and cutting on the lines. I still need to add borders and finish it.

Rail Fence

I saw this on the Midnight Quilt Show with Angela Walters. I wanted to try it so I purchased the material last Saturday at the Northwest Quilt Expo in Portland, Oregon. I finished it yesterday. It took me 2 day. Of course it still has to be quilted and finished. It is kind of wild and different but I like it. It is made from Batiks.

Cares Program at Emanuel Hospital

I was told about a program that is for kids who are taken out of homes for many reasons like sexual abuse, parental drug abuse and so on. They are brought to Emanuel Hospital in Portland Oregon to be checked out to make sure they are physically ok and to check there mental health and for legal reasons before they are placed in a foster home. The Pine Needle in Lake Oswego Oregon is one quilt shop that has material bags for people to take home and make a quilt to donate to the Cares program.The bags are put together from some of the fabric pieces the quilt shop has and also from donated fabric. I picked up a bag and purchased some yardage to go with it. Then I had it quilted when I finished it. The pattern is the disappearing nine patch. The picture is my Grandson Tanner holding the quilt up for me. I finished this in October 2016. I also made a matching pillowcase for it and took both to the Pine Needle. The pattern you make is up to the quilter to design.The shop does give out a paper with guide lines for size to go with the fabric.

My First Quilt

This is the very first quilt I made. I took a beginning quilting class in 2014. We sewed in class and at home.I took the class at Quilting Delights in Happy Valley Oregon.As part of the class I was able to do my own long arm quilting on it. I loved doing the long arm. I was nervous but I liked it.

The Town Square Quilt

I brought home strips from our QOV group stash and this is the pattern I finally decided on. Some of the strips were cut in odd lengths so I had to find a pattern that I could make them work in.

No Longer a WIP Alter Ego

My Work in progress is now at the quilter. I finished the borders on Monday 11-27-17. Prepared the backing the next day. Took it to the quilter on Wednesday 11-29. I am planning to give it for a Christmas present so I will be burning the midnight oil to get the binding sewn on i'm slow.. The quilter said he should be finished by Dec 15th. I used Julia's Garden by Northcott Fabrics by Deborah Edwards. It is a 30's print for sure. That is where it is located at Fabric Depot. I gave this to my daughter Sarah for Christmas.She bought the layer cake for me to make something so I told her I would make it for her and she said oh no just make what ever you want. So I did.

Dad's Birthday Quilt

I made my Dad a quilt for his 87th birthday. He loved to fly and the year I was in 8th grade he and I repaired a wrecked Cessna. He taught me to fly it. It was wonderful. I needed a pattern that used larger pieces because his eyesight is failing. I choose the disappearing 9-patch using layer cake squares, which I bordered.

Raining Inspiration

This Falling Charms quilt was made from four April Showers charm packs that I purchased early in my quilting addition, soon after I discovered MSQC and "The Daily Deal!". In fact, looking at my order history, these were the very FIRST purchase I made from the shop! February 24, 2014, I invested in four charm packs with the intention of pairing them with some solid fabric from the stash that my grandmother gave me. I remember that I loved the Falling charms tutorial quilt that I had seen online and took the dive, feeling like I had spent "a lot" of money! LOL! Look at me now, three years later, fully addicted to beautiful fabric, quilting up a storm, and a longarm quilter with a full appreciation of the value of the trade. I worked on this quilt at two separate MSQC retreats in Hamilton Missouri and enjoyed every minute. It is still wrinkled from binding, but finally finished and keeping us cozy! I hope to get some better photos later.
