After seeing Shannon Paige's winning entry to the Riley Blake Challenge 2014, I knew I had to make it. I searched everywhere for a pattern and finally came up with this (my first attempt at paper piecing!!)...

Twisted Sugar Blocks

I loved Amy Gibson in the Craftsy 2012 BOM class. I learned different techniques (paper piecing!) and had fun. So when she started the Sugar Block Club in 2013 I had to join. I finally got around to putting the blocks together in a layout I thought up. I wanted the quilt to be big enough for at least a double bed and I had a few blocks that were smaller than the others. So, I framed them in one color and twisted them in another color. You can't tell which are small now! Then I made a piano key border out of the leftover fabric and added that to the top to make it even bigger and use up all my leftover fabric. This was my first attempt at mitering the border. I love it! The other two photos are tops my sister and our friend made. We all made the same blocks, but with different fabrics and different layouts.

Dragonfly wall hanging

I made this wall hanging in a class. The appliqué was fun to learn. I love how the simple design works on a black background.

Stairway to Heaven

When he was younger and still living at home, my son and I used to enjoy playing music together. He played guitar and I played the keyboard. Our favorite song was Stairway to Heaven. He asked me if I would make a wall hanging for him and so to honor his 49th birthday I made this for him as a memorial to those great musical times we had together. I love to quilt, really love whole cloth quilts and am mesmerized by Zentangle. This is a combination of all three and a lot of love. I have to say, stitching with heavy black thread on cream fabric was more than a little daunting!

Muppets Quilt

Working with the book Quilting with the Muppets, I pieced and appliquéd the quilt and my daughter Beth Magnan quilted it. It was my first attempt at appliqué. We shopped for the fabric at quilt hops and over about 5 months; also used some stash. Then it took about 5 months to make the project. I benefitted from seeing what others had done with Muppets online so I hope this quilt gives ideas to others. I added yarn to Animal and used Heat N Shrink for Oscar's trash can. Miss Piggy got a cut strand of little pearls. I redid the mouth on Grover to add the black dimension as seen on many Muppets sites; it made him look happier! The quilt was a new baby gift for my grandson Louis, but his older brother liked it too. A perfect addition to the wall of their playroom.

Jill's Shooting Star

One of my friends moved far away into a new home, but still visits periodically. In her new home there was a flat screen TV mount over her fireplace. She did not want to put a TV there, but could not easily take the mount down without damaging the wall. She asked if I could make a wall hanging to cover the space. Once I completed the project, she had it framed and it looks perfect above her fireplace.

I made this quilt for my very own bedroom! I loved the way it turned out. It makes it a joy to crawl into bed at night!

Double Wedding Ring

My granddaughter is getting married September 5. She wanted a Double Wedding Ring quilt made from 1930's reproduction fabric and I was more than happy to oblige.
