Tall Trim The Tree - Modified

This is a paper pieced Christmas tree wall hanging. It is sized perfect for a standard door in width and length. I modified the pattern by adding "gift" pockets to the bottom, and button holes to insert battery operated LED lights from the backside. It worked wonderfully for a countdown to Christmas (buttons for hanging one ornament a day in December) as well as a great spot to put Christmas cards from friends and family.

All Bugged Out

This was my first quilt with embroidery, piecing, and freehand long arm quilting. It is based on a pattern from Urban Threads called Nature's Curiosities Quilt using the Miniature Menagerie design pack. I love the finished product, and use it every day. Someday it will be the perfect picnic throw!

Seuss it Up!

My baby sister had a baby. I wanted to create something colorful and loved the line of fabric around Dr. Seuss. I fussy cut the panel and sewed "wonky" strips to the edges creating a playful seusscape! In the end, the dot backing and striped binding were my favorite part! We decorated the wall at her shower with the quilt and had all of the guests sign a Dr. Seuss collection book with a custom paper pieced book cover!

Country at Heart

My grandmother gifted her stash to me. This top was already pieced and was waiting for quilting. This was my first free motion project on my long arm. I marked the quilting pattern with chalk traditionally. My Grandma loved BINGO, so this quilt was gifted during a family Christmas game!

i Spy - Take 1

I made three i-spy style lap quilts last year. My children selected some fabrics during our summer vacation through Paducah Kentucky in 2014. I also participated in a charm swap with member of the MSQC forum! There are pieces from friends all over the country. I used a 5" tumbler for each quilt and added sashing and special quilting for each. Each child picked their own backing. My children call them "Car" quilts and are glad to have them during our Kansas winter.
