Milky Way Sawtooth Star

Pattern from The Midnight Quilter. Combined two fat quarter bundles and yardage for the borders. I like how it turned out. It is for my mother-in-law. I hope she likes it, too.

Around The World

This is the first quilt I've ever had MSQC quilt for me. I love how it turned out. It was also the first time I fussy cut the border.

Rhombus Star baby blanket.

This is my favorite baby blanket I've ever made! It's for our granddaughter Railyn, who we haven't gotten to meet yet because of COVID-19.

St. Joseph's School

Every year the school my granddaughters attend has a benefit auction. This year, I sent a couple green layer cakes and archival ink pens to the school and asked if the teachers would have the kids outline their hands and write their name and grade on them. This tree quilt with all their lovely little hands is my donation to the auction this year. I made so many mistakes on this, but the darling hands all together make it fun anyway!

More Bowl Cozies

Christmas presents for this year. They always seem to make people happy! The fabric is a layer cake called Oops A Daisy!

Another Baby Quilt

I just love baby quilts using panels. Added a little minky to this one.

Benefit Auction Quilt

My granddaughters attend a parochial school. Every year they hold a gala, complete with dinner, silent auction, live auction, raffles, to raise money for the school. This is my donation for this year. The school kids filled out some white strips for me with Bible passages, this is what we came up with, very simplistic quilting to let the beauty of the words shine through. I love that the kids helped so much! The pictures aren't exactly correct as far as the colors go. The dark background is actually blue, not black.

More Bowl Cozies

These little gems have been the hit around here. These four are being donated for the silent auction at my granddaughters' school fundraiser. I hope they are popular there, too.

My Fern Gully Quilt

Have you ever gotten a layer cake with such gorgeous fabrics you just couldn't bear to cut them up? Here is my solution! The first time ever, I sewed the entire thing in one day! Still need to add borders and backing and quilt it, of course. I know it's dragonflies, but it reminds me of when my children were little and loved the movie and the music of Fern Gully.

For Emily and Baby Boy

I just finished a baby rag quilt for our niece Emily and her baby boy who will arrive in February. They love pups at their house, so I thought 101 Dalmatians would be a good theme for the baby blanket. So soft and snuggly!

Soup Bowl Cozies

So, tonight we are having a little gathering to have homemade pizza and celebrate birthdays for two of my daughters-in-law. I got them gift cards so they can splurge a bit on themselves, but I wanted to add a little something so they woud actually have a gift, too. Whipped up these little bowl holders in about an hour and Pier One had a sale on soup mugs. Bonus! Sure hope they like them. Microwavable (all cotton), and reversible. Perfect for having a warm bowl of soup while watching those Christmas movies on TV later this year.
