My husband has been so supportive of my quilting hobby. He has outfitted my sewing room with shelves and tables, and never bats an eye when UPS delivers yet another package of fabric from MIssouri Star. So when he asked if I would make a quilt for him, I was more than happy to accommodate. He chose the fabrics and pattern and I got busy. I let the talented quilters at MSQC machine quilt it with the design of his choice. He loves it!

The Crayon Box

This quilt was a gift for my middle son and his wife. I saw something similar on a website and thought it would be fun to make in primary colors. I marked the quilting lines using different sized circular objects I found around the house.

Weekender bags

Getting a jump on Christmas this year. The plan is to make 8 of these fun bags for my daughters and daughters-in-law. It took a long day to make both, but I enjoy getting to see the finished product quickly, especially compared to a quilt.

Lattice Love

One of my favorite projects because the layer cake fabric was so fun and it was my first time to make the lattice design. I spent extra on the backing fabric and loved the way it turned out.

Kaleidoscope

I love Kaffe Fassett fabric and have wanted a quilt that represents the "hippy chick" side of this grandma. This top is going to be machine quilted, and it is a "keeper", but I have a feeling I will be making some more for the granddaughters. Angus, the quilt kitty, seems to like it.

Batik Ribbon Star

I am blessed with "angels" who provide care for my adult son with disabilities. They help me and love him with such generous hearts. This quilt was made for a sweetheart named Lily.

Baby quilt with cuddle fabric backing

A friend asked me to make her new grand baby a quilt and sent me fabric for the project. I was nervous when I discovered that the backing for the quilt was cuddle fabric, since I had never used it in a project. I decided to use the quilt-as-you-go method to piece the top and then attach the back with some straight line machine quilting. Instead of using a separate binding, I folded over the backing and used a zigzag stitch to finish the edge. It was much easier to work with than I expected.

Simple Squares in purple hues

I love Jenny of MSQC's tutorials - they make Fridays even more special. i had collected several sets of charm packs that I wasn't sure what to do with, until I saw Jenny's Simple Squares tutorial. This super simple pattern was great fun and went together on a Saturday.

Blue and White

My cousin is moving to a new home - a fresh start after tragically losing her husband. She has a lovely collection of blue and white vases and they inspired my color choices for her housewarming quilt.

Autumn Stars -The Dark Side

I love bright, bold fabric, especially when paired with dark background. As soon as I saw Jenny's tutorial on the Autumn Star quilt I knew how I wanted to make it. Super fun to make and my oldest daughter called dibs...so I may be making several more.

Sweet dreams

Nothing says "baby girl" like pinks and purples. This project was for a friend's grand baby. Not a lot of piecing, but a whole lot of love went into it.

Color keys

Our oldest grandchild will be graduating high school this year and since she is a vibrant, artistic soul I thought this quilt would be something she would like.
