She is a expert knitter. Her and her husband met at St. Alamos NM. nuclear site as both are scientists.

The appliqué was done needle turn using fabrics from my stash. I told both my children it was for the first grandchild, but if that never occurred I would just donate to a good non for profit to raffle. As they are always looking for fund raisers to continue to serve our young families. By MarciaK 11 LIKES | 884 VIEWS Swooning I saw this pattern displayed at. Local quilt show.

By MarciaK 16 LIKES | 1082 VIEWS Picnic I was at a quilter's weekend retreat and finished the projects I had brought with me and still had a full gave day to do something. Luckily I had packed an extra jelly roll and layer cake, as when I was packing I was unsure which to use for my projects. People had brought give a ways, so I went looking through several magazines for a pattern. Picnic is the pattern I found using a layer cake. Somehow the colors and pattern just remind me of a picnic.

It has taken me all those years to decide what to do with them. It still needs to be quilted and bound.

This quilt is to be used on my bed, even though I give most of my work to others. By MarciaK 8 LIKES | 794 VIEWS I Love Florals This was a kit bought several years ago. I started and finished at a couple different quilt retreats with my quilting group. I needed their help with the mitered boarder. By MarciaK 4 LIKES | 851 VIEWS Marcia's Scraps This is a free pattern on Pat Sloan's website. I started last year and just kept feeling it needed something else. Finally it hit me, it needed an appliqué boarder! So it took awhile longer to get it done. But it is now done and I am pleased with it. I used all scraps to make it, including the backing.

I bought a layer cake of fabric at our outing in the morning and started the quilt when we returned to our retreat house. By MarciaK 7 LIKES | 1133 VIEWS My favorite quilt so far I made this quilt over a two year period. I started it at a quilt retreat with Sharon Strout. The pattern was a three part series from Fons and Porter Magazine 6-7 years ago. The fabrics are from several different designer. My local long arm quilted did the quilting. I had them use three different thread colors and think it looks just as interesting from the backside. Picture does not do justice to the back. This one will be handed down to my first grand daughter someday. By MarciaK 3 LIKES | 1000 VIEWS
