This is the National Parks line of fabric by Anderson Design Group for Riley Blake. The panel is pretty big and I wasn't sure how I could make it my own, so I tried some applique in the four corners. It was fun and I would like to try some more, but I should probably take a class on applique or at least study it more. I learned that your sewing machine needle gets glued shut if you use the heavy heat & bond. I also learned how much I love the walking foot for straight line quilting. This is a Christmas gift for my son-in-law who was an Eagle Scout, loves the great outdoors and is just an all-around fantastic guy! Finished size is 71" x 90"

Grandmother’s Fan

This is the grandmother’s fan pattern and I used Windham Fabrics Sugar Sack 2 fabric by Whistler Studios. It was pretty fun to make, I needed a break from matching corners, so this was pretty stress-free. It’s a Christmas gift for my younger daughter, who likes old fashioned things.

Skelliwag

The pattern is called Indigo Spin and the fabric is a mixture of Skelewag and Lost at Sea by Alexander Henry. I made this for my husband who has been so supportive of my quilting, he even looks up where the quilt stores are when we visit somewhere new. I started this 2 years ago when I was too naive to realize how hard sewing curves were going to be, but I finally plowed through and got her done! And LAQ always hides a multitude of mistakes too, which helped.

Another Irish Chain

After the orange Irish chain I figured, why not make another one! This one is a wedding gift for my step-daughter and new husband. She's from Seattle and he is British, so I had a lot of fun hunting for Seattle and British themed fabrics. I tried to fussy cut some of them, a little hard to do with a 2 1/2 inch squares. I hope they like it!

This Little Pig

I almost didn’t want to share this. I made it for my daughter for Christmas. When she was little she declared herself a “Pigatarian” and refuses to eat pork. She doesn’t know what to do with it, but it makes a comfy cushion for an uncomfortable loveseat I have in my sewing room. The fabric is This Little Pig by Elizabeth’s Studio.

Baby Blocks

Here lies my second attempt at FMQ. I used Hop Skip and a Jump - American Jane by Moda Fabrics. Somehow I wound up with 81 little squares in the center and Jenny’s tutorial has 64. Not sure how I managed that but Oh well, it’s done!

Kitchen towel dress

Someone gave me an oven towel dress last Christmas and I thought it was so cute I had to make some myself! I did all different themes and gave them as gifts.
