I am a middle aged elementary teacher-librarian who quilts as a form of relaxation in theory...but sometimes it turns out to be just as much "un-sewing" as sewing. LOL

Irish Chain
This is the first Irish chain I ever made, it was the quilt pattern that made me want to learn how to quilt. I used an heirloom reproduction print and then matched with solids.

Thrift Store String Quilt As You Go
I started going to the thrift store and buying all of the scrap materials they had for about 6 months. I wanted to make a quilt like my grandmother used to make..she called it a stringy quilt. I even found the batting, border, and backing the thrift store. The backing was already cut into 14 x 65 strips of red material that I only had to sew together and the border was already cut as well. I used the quilt as you go method but instead paper, I used cut up squares of scrap batting. The total quilt cost me $50 to make this king size quilt.

Sailboat Quilt
I needed to make a baby quilt and watched the sailing ship tutorial. Since I didn't have the hexagon template I had to change it to be small sail boats with a starry sky. I am really proud of it.

Flower Garden Block
I made this baby quilt using a pattern I found online. If I were to do it again, I would used a darker green in place of the white to make it more "flower garden". It was a fun quilt to make.

Skateboard Quilt
My husband still loves to skateboard (at 49!) and after I watched Jenny and Rob make a skateboard quilt I just had to try. Finding more "boyish" fabrics was not as easy I thought it would be. I happened upon the "summer of love" panel at the thrift store and bordered it with the old cars fabric because he is a hot wheels collector. Lots of errors in it (only my second quilt) but he loves it so that is what matters.

Peggy's Quilt #1 - Fourth of July
My first quilt! I started collecting Civil War reproduction fabric in August 2014, and finished piecing the quilt top by the middle of December 2014. The pattern is 'Fourth of July' published in the book "Charm Quilts" (1997) by Beth Donaldson. The long-arm free motion quilting was done by Lyn Durbin (Camlyn Quilts). Finished size: 93.5" long x 103" wide. It's a King size quilt on a Double bed, making for a nice drop. With some of the leftover fabric, I made a set of 4 pillow cases with nice big cuffs. Some of the other leftover fabric was used to practice paper piecing and for the top of my second quilt. I love quilting! Peggy

Peggy's Quilt #2 - Card Trick
This is my second quilt. It's my 'practice quilt' because I was using "Quilter's Academy - Sophomore Year" by Harriet Hargrave and Carrie Hargrave, to try out piecing techniques (side set triangles, card trick blocks, etc.) using leftover Civil War reproduction fabric from my first quilt. The quilt top was machine-pieced in February and March 2015, using the Card Trick block (Class 240, page 51). For the backside of this lap quilt, I also used leftover Civil War reproduction fabric and sewed together various practice paper-pieced blocks. The finished size is 43"x57". Lyn Durbin of Camlyn Quilts did the long arm free-motion quilting. I love quilting! Peggy

Peggy's Quilt #3 - Double Aster
This is my 3rd quilt. I count it as #3 because I did actually sew most of it! The story: a friend had been suggesting for years that she make a quilt for me. All I had to do was buy the fabric and find a pattern. She would do the piecing. Early in 2014, she started the piecing using Double Aster and Ohio Star blocks. Then in August 2014, I 'discovered' quilting for myself, After I finished 2 quilts, she said that if I didn't mind, now that I knew how to quilt, would I take over and finish the quilt she had started for me so she could move on to make quilts for family members who don't know how to quilt. I said sure (of course). The fabric collection is 'Wingin' It' by The Buggy Barn for Henry Glass Fabrics, plus there were other prints pulled in to blend. My friend pieced eight 12" Red, Pink and Turquoise Double Aster blocks and eight 6" Ohio Star blocks. I sewed all of the rest of the blocks, sashing and borders, and finished piecing in April 2015. The finished size is 88.5" x 88.5". The batting is Hobbs Heirloom 100% Wool. The long arm free-motion quilting was done by Lyn Durbin of Camlyn Quilts, completed May 30, 2015. Using leftover fabric, I made a set of 4 pillow cases. I love quilting! Peggy

Peggy's Quilt #6 - Curved Log Cabin
This is my sixth quilt. I wanted to make a traditional log cabin quilt but was seduced by Jenny Doan's tutorial on the curved log cabin layout. For this one, piecing started on June 10th and finished on July 24th, 2015. I used selected prints from the Evening Mist collection by Moda to make 36 curved log cabin blocks. The backing is Michele's Rose (gray) by Benartex. The finished size is 80.5" x 80.5". Lyn Durbin of Camlyn Quilts finished the free-motion long arm quilting on September 11th, and I finished the binding on September 27, 2015. The updated photo showing it on my bed was posted here on October 8th. I have also made a matching set of 4 pillow cases, using leftover fabric for the cuffs. I love quilting! Peggy

Diamond quilt
I found this tutorial on line a few years back. I love the freshness of whites and brights. I enjoy working with brights as they are cheery. This quilt is for a friend who is 49 and pg -- she is over the moon. Since the baby is a big surprise, they chose not to find out the gender. I wanted something bright and lovely that screamed "Welcome baby". http://www.sameliasmum.com/2012/10/fresh-diamonds-easy-quilt-tutorial.html#.Vfqgt5cm-RP

Galaxy of Stars
This is a Judy Martin pattern. I love the small stars in the border. I'm making more and more quilts using batiks. This won a ribbon in our local quilt show this year for 'traditional'. Shocking!!

Flower Garden
I used five patterns of Edyta Sitar's quilt 'Spring Bouquet'. The pre-cut pattern was so expensive that I decided to make several quilts from it.
