Wedding Quilt
I made this quilt using a combo of modern & more traditional patterns. The challenge was combining their favorite colors, 3 from each.

Family Tree Quilted Wall Hanging
I wanted to create a quilted family tree wall hanging that had my parents & my husband's parents(the roots), our kids and their spouses (the branches) and our grandkids (the leaves). Then I added some buttons and metallic threads to highlight it. All my wall hangings thus far have the backdrop of our upstate NY farm with the hills, the pond, and the rolling the fields.

Jason's Quilt
My winter and then spring and summer project became to make a new quilt for each of my 10 grandkids that incorporated their favorite colors and either a hobby or sport they were involved in. This one was blue as that's his only favorite color and reflects some of the sports he likes and favorite places he's lived.

I asked Alicia to tell me her favorite colors, sports, TV show, and anything else she'd like included in a new quilt for her. This is the result.

Ashton's Quilt
Ashton's favorite color is black, so I used black and grey's to piece this together. I also found some glow in the dark fabric to use in some squares as a highlight to add a little fun. This quilt also has his favorite sports and the back has big appliques from his favorite video game characters.

Tina's Quilt
Tina asked for orange and lime green as her two favorite colors to be included in her quilt. This was my first attempt at string quilts using a paper backing to construct the block. Once I got over the brightness of the colors, it was fun putting it all together. I decided to combine the blocks using rag quilt construction, so hers is a bright happy quilt.

Ruthie's Lap Quilt
A friend of mine of 40 years recently sent me a package of old precut quilt squares that she'd picked up through the years, but had never managed to get them made into a quilt. To thank her, I sorted through them and then sewed them into 9 patch blocks which I cut up to make the disappearing 9 patch block. I used fleece as a backing because it gets cold on her farm & i wanted her to have something to keep her feet warm in the winter.

French Rose
I took a class in my local quilt shop to learn this pattern which I love. Cutting and sewing those roses together takes a while, but the results are rewarding.

E's New Quilt
My great-granddaughter's previous quilt got lost in the holiday shuffling of visiting, eating out, etc. She wants her quilt, so GGma (me) made her a new one using some of the same fabrics from her first quilt.
