Irish Quilt for Matt

This is the first quilt I ever attempted. It is a stack and whack quilt with fabrics sourced from Australia, Ireland and a couple of US states. The Irish theme denotes my son's Irish heritage. It is quilted with a rainbow thread showing the gold at the end of the rainbow so he would never be without the financial gainto have what he needs. On the back are squares of Kelly green, newspaper print ( he is a journalist) and music notation as he lives music and plays guitar.

Kaffe's zipper

My second grown-up sized quilt and the first one using precuts. I had no idea who Kaffe Fasset was, no clue who Jenny Doan was but but in my first searches on the internet I happened to combine the two. since then I have made two more zipper quilts for nieces who love the pattern using black and other happy colors, but this one remains my favorite.

Paint By Number Bargello

I just finished this bargello last night, all I have to do is quilt it and bind it. Only problem, is my favorite quilt shop where I rented a long arm is closing August 8th. I'm so sad. What shall I do to quilt it? I know, purchase my own long arm machine!! My husband just smiles. I did this entire quilt top in my motorhome, on the road for the summer. I am so happy. I've finally figured out how to cut, sew, iron, and piece in my motorhome without a lot of problems. Yay. Thank you for looking.

Twister Quilt

I purchased a layer cake from Missouri Star as the material was so pretty, you know you had to have it. I had no idea what I would make. A quilt group I belong too makes Children quilts and donates them and they were going to do this pattern that took a layer cake. So I thought why not use that "Hello Darling" by Moda layer cake. I made it love it and plan to keep it but no worries I made another to donate.

Landons sea creatures

My granddaughter wanted me to make her son a special quilt for his birthday. She found a picture of a fish she wanted on it and enlarged it. It took off from there.
