KPH

It's hard to believe that I retired on April Fool's Day 2012 and started my journey into quilting. Now, three grandchildren later, I'm enjoying making quilts for them and those I love.

Welcome Home From Brian Center
Long story short, Mom fell and broke her hip. When she was in Brian Center, for rehab, she decided she wanted her bedroom painted blue. Her old quilt wouldn't "go" in a blue bedroom. So she got new bedroom (right off of the handicap bathroom), new paint, and a new quilt when she came home.

Veggie Tales
Veggie Tales has book panels. So I reworked the idea for a wall hanging for my grandson, Jonathan. Now, it's Esther's 'sheet' in her crib. She won't sleep without it!

My First Quilt for ME
The pattern is called Fall's Tapestry, by Pine Tree Country Quilts. I love it because it was three blocks. Naturally, I had to make it bigger than the pattern called for since it was for our waterbed. I fell in love with the border fabric and picked colors that would go with that.

The "Moms" Lap Quilts
I started early this year, with DD specials Winter Grandeur 10" blocks. I used Double Slice Tutorial and made two lap quilts. One for my MIL that she can use on her sofa to cuddle up with, and one for my mom to snuggle around her in her wheel chair.

Mike's Christmas 2015
Shhhhh! It's a secret! Mike is getting stockings and a tree skirt for Christmas. He saw the fabric when it came in the mail. He loved the paisley in the print, so I knew that this was what he was going to get this year! This was my first effort in QAYG. I traced my tree skirt and cut the back and backing out, then cut it into wedges that were more manageable. The rest was guess and see what happens as you go. I actually love it.

Churn Dash
This was the first quilt that I made for my MIL. She picked the floral material and I went from there. I never knew that she wanted a quilt! It graces her guest bedroom and she loves it.

Stack and Whack 1
My first Stack and Whack. What fun I had at the Stack and Whack class at Mary Jo's. When Aimee grabbed my fabric and ripped it in half, I about had a heart attack. Once I started and saw how large the throw was, I kept on whacking and made it into a queen sized quilt for my MIL.

Esther's Polygon Quilt
I taught at the first public Montessori School in NC for quite a while. I always loved the Sensorial work in the primary and the Geometry works that grew out of it in the Elementary. After I retired, I was blessed with two grandchildren. Esther's first quilt was this Minkie, applique quilt of the polygons and seven triangles of realty from my Montessori Geometry Cabinet.

Maam's Covered Bridges
My grandmother, whom we call Maam, loves covered bridges. She is also one of the first people who taught me how to sew. So when I saw this pattern at a quilt show I just knew I had to make it. What made it extra special is that I got my sister, mother and aunt to help me hand embroider the covered bridges. They are not crafty at all and never sew. So it made this quilt extra special that they would help. This quilt was made with lots of love and my grandmother was so happy to get it!

Sirocco
The idea started with a quilt in a magazine, then last year with the Disappearing Pinwheel tutorial the idea gelled. We swapped squares of fabric that had an autumn theme. Sirocco is the name of an autumn wind in the Mediterranean.

Hummingbird Garden
This is the quilt I made as a wedding present for my brother and sister-in-law. They have several hummingbird feeders in their yard and enjoy watching the hummingbirds. When I saw the name on the pattern -"Hummingbird" - I knew it was the one I wanted to use. Quilting is stitch-in-the-ditch around the "hummingbirds" and hand quilted in the middle of each hummingbird and the background.

Swirly Log Cabin
I made this Curved Log Cabin quilt for my children. I used the creative grids log cabin tool and found it very easy to use and put the whole thing together. I quilted it into 4 quadrants with a walking foot. It was a lot of fun to make and hassle free since everything was squared up so well. I do suggest using a design wall to figure out how the blocks go. My kids love it and are curled up on the couch with it now.
