Wyoming Pinwheels
Made with a full heart for my grandson due in September 2015. Used Jenny Doan's sew-around-the-square technique and a "Fresh Air" charm pack.

Ryan's Tower Disappearing Hourglass Quilt
My 30 y/o son is 6'8" and has always complained that his feet froze while watching TV in his recliner because his feet were never covered. I needed a quilt pattern that would work no matter how long I needed to make it. I saw the video for the Disappearing Hourglass and knew that it would be perfect. And then, a Stonehenge Layer Cake of Lakeside was on the MSQC Daily Deal and everything fell into place! This quilt is 52 x 106. He can cuddle under this quilt from head to toes! I have to admit, I had a hard time on my first few blocks so I literally drove from San Antonio to Houston to meet Jenny in person at the 2014 Houston Quilt Fest. I explained my troubles to her and she said, "2-1/8 from center seam". Perfect! Every block after that was perfect!

Picnic Quilt
My son and wife are very lucky that they live close to her grandparents. Being newly retired, they volunteered to keep Jonathan when Morgan went back to school to finish her nursing degree. They love keeping him so much, they're still keeping him (going on three years now) and his little sister. This is a gift for Jonathan and Esther to give to Nana and Nandy.

Mister Sandman
This is the first quilt that I ever made. My Mom and Grandmother had done quilting before I was born and I always found myself intrigued by quilting. I was working at a library in Iowa at the time and a local quilt shop did some programs on making quilts at my library. They brought some fabric samples, including a Harvest Moon by Kansas Troubles layer cake. I fell in love with the fabric and decided I needed a new hobby. I found the Mister Sandman pattern in the book "Piece of Pie" by Pie Plate Patterns. I thought the pattern and fabric were a great match. I picked up a sewing machine and started chugging away. I made a good number of mistakes, but I learned so much. I finally finished the quilt top after I moved to Maine. I had a local person machine quilt it for me (which I kinda regret not doing it all myself). I'm so pleased with the project and have already started more quilts.

Star quilt
This is the second quilt that I made. It was for my daughter. I had a pattern for the star block that I got from my Thimbleberries book, but created the border on my own (with some input from my husband).

My First Quilt I Ever Made!!
I happened to see the pattern for the inverted star. I thought, oh how pretty! I had never quilted before, but I thought I would try this one. It took me 6 hours to complete my first block. Then by the time I made my 25th block, I was down to 2 hours. The ladies at the fabric store told me that I chose a difficult pattern for my first one. I guess someone forgot to tell me that in the beginning! I didn't find it difficult!!! I found it fun!!! I have the backing fabric and batting ready to go, just haven't quilted it yet. I'm still trying to decide what pattern I want to stipple it!!
