A cousins wedding gift. My cousin Sharon had been a widow for five years and has been blessed to find a true love again. Both are in their 70's and lost spouses to cancer at about the same time. They met on Catholic Match and thank God everyday for the gift of love and marriage. The quilt is a picnic quilt that I quilted on my Brother machine using a Westalee Sew Steady template for the body of the quilt and free motion on the border. The templates are still new to me but I am pleased with this result. The quilt was given as a shower gift and packaged in a vintage picnic basket.

Fire Department Memories

A quilt for one of my grandson-in-laws. He asked one day if I knew someone that made t-shirt quilts and my response for for who? When he said it was for him of course I was ready to tackle my first t-shirt quilt. Love the result even though it grew to be quite large. The Illusions block is one of my favorite MSQC tutorials and it is really effective with the t-shirts. The flame fabric worked out well for framing the blocks and the woodgrain was something from my stash as was the plaid for the backing. Some of the shirts had the large display while others just had the chest patch and the department on the back. To balance the blocks I appliqued the chest patches to the backs of the shirts. The final block is the extra chest patches and a couple of things I printed on fabric and appliqued. The sewing including all the quilting was done on my Brother NX2000 so yes you can quilt a large quilt at home. The open space in the t-shirts took some thought and I am pleased with the free-motion flames. Still a lot to learn but I am loving each new challenge. Keep quilting and keep sharing.

X's & O's for Gracie

Gracie is our youngest great granddaughter and I just finished this X's & O's quilt for her using the Lavishmint Layer Cake. The extra yardage is Arrows in lavender and Scrolling Along in the green from the same line. The white is Chenille from my stash. Love using layer cakes. The binding was made using some of the remaining squares from the layer cake. Thought I was caught up but just received word we will be great grandparents yet again. That will be blessing number ten for us.

Bacon, Bacon, Bacon

Placemats and napkins made for an adoption fundraising event. The event was "Bacon for Baby" and was so much fun. Lots of bacon themed food and silent auction items. The baby will be our 6th grandchild. Praise God for adoption! The placemats and napkins are reversible using the tumbler template and bacon fabric for one side and a nice fall print for the reverse.

Retro Transportation

This fun quilt is for a special friends first grandchild. The fabric is all from my stash and the start was a panel that I have had for some time. Inspired by the Exploding Block tutorial I cut the panel apart and "exploded' the blocks twice. Lots of fun to make and the flannel back will make it snugly.

Thanks for your service.

This quilt is for our son-in-law to say thanks for his military service. Loved this Layer Cake from Moda "Because of the Brave." I had watched Jenny's tutorial on the Illusions Quilt Block and decided it would be perfect for this project.

Baby Girl Disappearing Hourglass

I love the disappearing hourglass tutorial and feel it is very sweet in this floral flannel. The quilt was made for my great niece Margot. I had a collection of flannel fat quarters and some yardage in my stash that was fun to use.

Hearts Repaired and Replaced

This quilt is for a benefit in our community in September. A young woman named Kim was born with heart issues and has had many surgeries in her young life. Now in her twenties she needed a heart transplant and was blessed to receive the new heart this year. The quilt is adapted from a quilt as you go design but I made the top and quilted it as a full quilt. The blocks were made in pairs then slashed and sewn together to create the light and dark as well as the repaired hearts. The back is piece using a zipper from the MSQC tutorial Zipper Quilt. Love the zipper to add interest to the back of the quilt and use up some of the scraps.

Tommy's Emergency Vehicles

Tommy is our great grandson and his father is a fireman/paramedic so this fabric was perfect. The pattern was Strip Tease a 3 Yard Quilt by Heirloom Elegance Designs. I did make the quilt a bit larger with extra borders and added a pillowcase to match.

Scarlet's Nine Patch

A simple Nine Patch set on point is the pattern for this special quilt. Our granddaughter was born four years ago with HLHS a heart condition that can sometimes be treated with surgery but that was not the case for our Scarlet. Her only chance of survival was a heart transplant so many prayers were said as I stitched hearts into this quilt. At 3 1/2 months a heart brought life to Scarlet and she is now a beautiful four year old. Lots of love and prayers in this quilt.
