My husband noticed a sampler quilt hanging in the window of a quilt shop and commented on how much he liked the fabric. I went back later and got a kit to make the quilt for him as a surprise. He loved it! The large, beautiful panels are the centerpiece of this quilt so it came together fairly quickly. I bought the rag quilt snips at the recommendation of the shop owner. They were a bit pricey, but worth their weight in gold!

Brown Bear Baby Quilt

I was looking for a print to incorporate my niece's chosen colors - navy and green - for her second baby. When I spotted this Brown Bear fabric by Eric Carle, I knew this was it! I am still learning how to quilt, but braved some free motion echo quilting around each animal and some paw prints around the border. I used a variegated rainbow thread for the quilting. This made me nervous with my first free motion "live" attempt, but it turned out great! My little grand nephew loves the bright colors!

Dog Lover's Throw

I adopted a dad down in Brasil. He loves dogs and cats and believe it or not, it gets cold down there! They do not have central heating so the house gets quite cold in the winter time. I searched for quite some time for just the right fabric and then just designed the pattern around it. That part was harder than I thought it would be and it was a learning experience, that's for sure! Just to be fair, I found some cat fabric for the backing so, depending upon whether my pai (father in Portuguese) is in the cat part or the dog part of the house, he can choose which side shows. qua qua! (Portuguese for haha!)

Vintage Typewriter Collector's Quilt

My son and his girlfriend each have their own vintage typewriters. When I came across the line "Type" by Julia Rothman and the Typeface quilt pattern by Heather Jones, I just had to make this quilt for them! This was my first large quilt - a queen size. I had a lot of fun making this quilt as the fabrics were fun to look at! I did have some learning on the quilting part, even though I just did stitch in the ditch. In hindsight, I could have approached that part differently and made life a bit easier on myself. The good news is that, despite my beginner quilting mistakes, the quilt has been washed a few times already and so far, so good! :)

Disappearing 9 Patch Baby Quilt

This was my very first quilt. I followed along with Jenny's tutorial and was very pleased with the it! I donated this quilt - hard to part with my first one, but it needed to find someone to love. It makes me happy to imagine the mother receiving it to wrap her new baby in.

Half Square Triangles Baby Quilt

I joined a quilting group where we made quilts for donation. I wanted to make a boy-centric quilt as it seems that these are harder to come by. I used various bits of scraps tied together with the same background fabric throughout. This was a fun quilt to work with! Trains, cars, trucks, dogs and then all of those half square triangles to play with! I tried many different layouts but in the end, I really liked this simple layout the best. I was so happy with the finished quilt! I hope some little boy out there loves it as much as I did. :)

Stroller Quilt

This stroller quilt was a baby shower gift. They have cold winters where she lives so I opted to back it in polar fleece. This also makes it easy to clean and quick drying to hold up to a baby/toddler's messes. :) This stroller quilt is about 28" x 35". Little ties on the sides help keep it secured to the stroller. I used a free pattern on Moda's website. Search for "Moda Sophie Car Seat Quilt" and you should be able to find it. I used the Disappearing Nine Patch quilt pattern for the top.

Inside Passage Quilt

This quilt was made using fabrics that captured the theme of the inside passage. The charm packs had salmon, bear, eagles, trees, everything that you'd see on a cruise to Alaska!

Favorite Things

I made this quilt to welcome my new brother-in-law, his two sons, and his grandson into our family. Designed for multigenerational boys, it also has things my sister loves, too. The back has the Pickles cartoons, mad libs words, and pencils. I stipple quilted using matching thread. I used 6.5 inch squares and 2.5 inch strips for an 8 inch finished block. The quilt is 80" by 90". My sister and her new husband visited for the first time recently, so I was able to give it to them in person. They loved it!

Fish Summer School by Jenny Doan

I made this in appreciation of my brother-in-law who has been an avid fishermen all his life and now has health issues in keeping warm. When I saw Jenny’s tutorial, I just knew was a good pattern to use for him! I made her pattern a little larger so whether he wants to lay down to rest or be be covered in the recliner it would work for him.

Pink & Flowers Quilt

I made this using a pattern called "Via Air Mail from Love of Quilting's July August 2013 issue. It's about 58 x 70, and a mish-mash of fabrics from my stash, and some newer. The blue polka dot is from my very first quilt, the brown flower is a vintage 80's fabric, the lighter pinks and blue and cream background fabric are Mississippi collection from Washington Street Studios. There's also a Quilting Treasures light blue floral.
