Quilts Gifted – A little gift to women I’ve never

A friend of mine travels annually on a mission trip to El Salvador. In the village she visited in 2018 is a women’s co-op that is one of the few ways for the local women to gain some independent income. They needed support for supplies so I suggested I make a quilt and we raffle it off in the US to raise funds to help support their work. It's the first time they have been able to give an actual cash donation to this group and we were thrilled to end up getting $600 in raffle tickets sold (we aimed for $450). The quilt is based on a piece in the September / October 2018 volume of Fons & Porter Love of Quilting : Kentucky Crossroads Quilt originally designed by Nancy Mahoney. For more about what I did and how you can read my blog post at https://pleatsfrillsandfurbelows.wordpress.com/

Moonlight on the Ocean

I made this for my sister. Shortly after gifting it to her she moved across the country. It's a basic Bargello, only the second I'd ever done.

To A. , may her triangles always be tranquil

It took me a long time to decide on what to make for A. She has so many different likes and preferences I had to look carefully for something that would suit her. Luckily I had purchased the perfect fabric (just didn't know i at the rxact moment i put it in my cart) and I knew it would be perfect for her. I used Villa Romana Peacock Colorstory Metallic by Studio RK for Robert Kaufman. Just needed a pattern. A is very cerebral and though she likes this that have traditionally been labeled feminine, she's not a froofy ruffle girl. Clean lines seem to suit her best. Since I do not own a long arm set up, I needed something I could do QAYG. When I saw Jenny do Tranquil Triangles in a tutorial, I knew that was the one. Once again one of my sisters was going off on an adventure, not as far as H but still a few hours away so I wanted to get it done before she left for Grad school. Didn't quite make it but it was done by the time she came home for Thanksgiving .

Rising Star / Super Nova

This quilt was made for someone who had a rough year in 2018. It hasn't been gifted yet as I am making one for her mother who has also had a rough 2018 and I want to gift them together. My best friend from High School has a long arm set up and she did the quilting for me on this piece due to the size. The pattern is super simple and available freely in several places online. It's basically all Half Square Triangles, its the color lay out that takes all the time. I spent at least a week moving color squares around.

For Catie

This is the first quilt I ever made. My sister talked me into a paper piecing class and I've been hooked ever since. A non-traditional log cabin made for baby Catie, grandchild no. 7! The girls at my local quilt shop helped pick out the fabrics. I used the left over fabric for the back.

Summer in the Park

I made this quilt for my daughter. She picked the pattern and material. I cut my own fabric but followed the Summer in the Park tutorial from MSQC. The front is batiks except the white background. The back has flannel on it. It came out really bright and beautiful. She loves it.

A young lady I work with didn't give us much notice before her wedding. Luckily, I had just the right fabric sitting around.

Master Bedroom Bed Quilt

Inspired by a pattern in French Braid Quilts by Jane Hardy Miller, I expanded this quilt to 94” x 84” to fit comfortably on our queen-size bed. We love how the colors complement our room and teak furniture. It feels like a stained glass window! My fabrics are primarily Marcus Fabrics, including a 2.5” strips collection, Rustic Winds, by Faye Burgos.

Kaylin's Triangles

When I met my 'grand-niece' this past summer, I asked her if she'd tell me a secret. She replied, "NO." Well, not to be out done, I tried again, What's your favorite color? "Aquamarine" was her reply. I tucked it away in my memory banks and naturally went on line to M* to find something Aquamarine for Kaylin. I love Stonehenge fabric and the Lagoon collection lent itself to making her quilt, not too childlike, but something she'll be able to enjoy for a long time.

Scrappy king

I have so many scraps, I decided to do something about them. Ha! I have not even touched the bottom of the barrel. I started out making bento blocks and decided the blocks were not big enough so I switched them around. Now they are big blocks!
