I wanted to do a "manly" quilt from a layered cake. I selected Kansas Troubles Favorites. Since I wanted my quilt to be a bit larger than just sewing the 10 x 10's together, I inserted sashing, and an outer border. It was quilted in a meandering leaf pattern. My hubby loved how it turned out!

Pink Ribbon Friendship Quilt

I made this quilt while learning to piece together blocks. I made it with the purpose of giving it to my dear friend who was at the time having a person battle with cancer. I hand embroidered inspirational words on the blocks.

My Bestie Gets TWO Quilts: How did that happen??

I try to spoil myself as often as I can. To that extent I try to spoil those around me as often as I can. I made my bestie Angel a quilt for her birth day. But she kept complaining that it was too short! Every time she lay under it she had to ball up or her feet would get cold! Ok! She got me. I can't stand cold feet myself. So I decided that I would make her another blanket (if for no other reason to keep her from telling the same story over and over again)! So I found a wonderful pattern (and I don't know where I found it) that takes 10" precuts and cuts them in half and adds a 2" sash down the middle. That block went together so fast that I didn't expect the quilt to be as beautiful as it turned out. And I made darn sure that it was long enough this time! So...case closed. And THAT is how she ended up with two quilts from me!

Pins and Paws

I made this for my son's "mom away from home" while he was attending college out of state. She was a lovely woman who gave my son a sense of home being so far away.

Elephant Abstractions Quilt by Violet Craft

I made this for my stepdaughter. She loves elephants. First time paper piecing...I struggled for quite a while before I figured it out.

Be My Neighbor

This was a free block of the month quilt pattern that I discovered on Bear Creek Quilting. It took me over a year to finish. I had it longarmed at my LQS. It was so much fun designing each house. I gifted this quilt to a dear friend.

Retirement T-Shirt Quilt for Rhonda

One of the teachers at my husband's school is retiring and I was asked to make a tee shirt quilt. Several teachers contributed t-shirts. Buying the t-shirt backing at JoAnn's made this a fairly easy project. I had just bought the border and sashing fabric for another project, but it matched all the colors of the t-shirts perfectly. My quilter did an awesome job custom quilting each block. The entire staff signed one of the blocks. A dear friend embroidered the congratulations. The patched block was made and appliqued from other parts of t-shirts pockets or sleeves. I backed the quilt with a soft gray minkey. The retirement party is in a couple weeks.

Joe's Quilt

I made this a few years ago for my son. I have a lot of girly fabric and needed something patriotic and boy-like.

Danny’s Star

I’ve been quilting as a hobby for over 10 years now, right after my husband retired he asked if he could make a quilt. Sure, let’s pick a pattern and some fabric. The next day he went right to work on cutting out the pattern pieces. By the time I came home from work he was ready to learn how to sew the pieces together. Each day I came home that week he had more to show me. To be honest I was getting a bit jealous he had more sewing time than I. By the end of the week he had finished the quilt top, and it was beautiful. This guy has a knack for sewing quilts. As time goes by he now has several quilts completed and he is getting better with each new quilt. One day my MSQC Block arrives in the mail and he meets me with the book opened to the binding tool star quilt. He wants to make that quilt and he did. He took the left over strips and made an incredible border!
