VALC

I started quilting in 2013 and am still very much a newbie. I'm a wife and mother of a blended family with 5 adult children. I am lucky enough to have a job that allows me to work from home. I don't spend as much time as I'd like sewing but I enjoy every minute that I do

Katie's Quilt
My version of MSQC Katie's Quilt. This quilt was made for my goddaughter's 21st birthday. She loves the colour blue. This was the largest quilt I've made and the first quilt I've quilted on my mid-arm. Fabric is Cold Spell Batiks by Laundry Basket Quilts and Kona Natural. Top was made with 2.5' jelly rolls and 5' charms. Back is cream minky.

Gradient Magic
This is my color experiment going from lights to darks, using the circle magic template. My oldest daughter loves purple so this is going to her.

Scott's Quilt
This is the quilt I made for my son. I wanted something bright and cheerful, happy. That's what I want his life to be. It was surprisingly easy to make. I had to step outside my comfort zone and you should too. Go for it.

Fold N Stitch Wreath
This isn't a quilt, but I have become fascinated by making these. You can use them to hang on your door or set on your table as a center piece with a candle, dish of candy or flower arrangement in the center. The trouble I have is deciding whether to hang them on my door (or wall). So far I've done one for Christmas, Valentine's, summer, and two for Easter.

Anne's quilt
Our best friends are moving across the country to Kelowna, BC. I decided to make them a quilt using Jenny Doan's Half Square Triangle Around the World quilt. They are/were extensive travellers so it was perfect. I was able to use an old quilt frame that was left on my front porch by someone, no idea who, once my son and husband found the hardware that was missing. (It came from the Frank A. Edmunds & Co. Inc and was sold by Sears in the '70s) It was definitely easier than using the hoop I had used for all the other "pre-printed top" quilts I've made. I purchased a layer cake in the colours that Anne loves, and used a matching flannel for the backing. I decided on flannel, because Anne has recently been diagnosed with MS and I thought the quilt would be warmer and cosier on her legs when she rests. My son helped me figure out the marking for the quilting pattern, and my 5 year old granddaughter thought I should use "crowns" in the corners of the black border. My husband couldn't believe I would be able to finish "all that stitching"! So now it's done, washed and ready to be delivered this Easter weekend when we visit. (They live 2 1/2 hours away!) I hope they both enjoy it.

Down on the Farm
A novelty print fabric featuring sheep was the inspiration for this baby quilt. I wanted a simple design that would highlight the sheep and the other fabrics relate to the theme or the colors in the main print.

Monster Quilts for my two grandsons
My daughter asked me to plan to make two "monster quilts" that would fit their future twin beds ... She asked when they were just one- and two-years-old. I thought it was a great idea ~ she proceeded to draw monsters on cardboard and send them to me. I downloaded a few from emblibrary.com, and drew some of my own ~ taking inspiration from monster quilts I saw on other websites, and on the Michael Miller "It's a Boy Thing ~ Monster Mash" fabric I used on the backside of the quilts. This project took months and months because I am a beginner at Applique. Fun ... I hope they like them ~ I am giving them the quilts for Easter, and plan to see them next week.

Coffee
I was visiting the Quilts and Stitches shop in Grand Lake Co. I saw these charm packs and originally thought they were tea cups and I love tea cups. As I took apart the packs, I found the coffee words and coffee bean prints. I also like coffee so I kept them. I finally decided the block I wanted to use when my friend Martha showed me the disappearing nine patch method. I decided what I wanted to keep whole and randomly selected what went in the other spots. It came out wonderful.

My Rhombus Quilt
As soon as I seen Jenny's tutorial, I knew I had to make this quilt! I ordered the template, searched my stash and here's what I came up with. I did the FMQing on my domestic sewing machine. I used a "Minky" like material on the back.
