Mostly Morse

This quilt was a quilt kit picked up on our 2014 summer road trip through Paducah, Kentucky... Of course I visited the renowned Hancocks of Paducah. The best way to convince my husband that I "needed" a quilt kit was to pick one of his own heart. As an amateur radio operator, who could possible say no to a pattern called "Morse Code"? I finished piecing this for my husband on Field Day weekend this summer (2015) when lots of Ham's around the country are flexing the radio frequency bands. Consider this my CQ.. CQ. It doesn't say much, E, A, ?, !... maybe I just left the rest unsaid. The piecing is great for 2 1/2" Jelly roll strips. These were Tonga Treats Batiks. I quilted it using a pattern called "Funky Fans".

Custom HST Twin Quilt

My customer's choice of half-square triangles with bright fabrics was perfect! This quilt is in memory of my customer's daughter who passed away two years ago. She was a paramedic who loved children, as testified by the fun prints on her scrubs. The daughter loved word finds, and my customer found the perfect backing in this Cotton + Steel print! It has words like "CUTIE PIE" and "I LOVE YOU". The word find fabric is the perfect weight for backing, and the letters were super easy to line up when I pieced the backing, something that can be near impossible on lesser-quality fabrics. Another thing I really like about this fabric is the letters are printed both directions, normal and upside down, which means the fabric isn't directional and can be sewed together either way. The word find fabric also comes in navy and bright pink. This is the first time I have purchased a Cotton + Steel fabric, can you believe it? It also has the cutest selvage I have ever seen! Another quilt in which I remembered to put a label! I'm so loving my sew-in satin labels! It just feels special to put my personal mark on a quilt. http://quiltlabels.ikaprint.com/ Quilt Stats: Pattern: Half-square triangles Size: Twin size, 70" x 90" Fabric: Customer-supplied medical scrubs with Kona White Batting: 100% cotton Backing: Cotton + Steel Playful Word Find in Cream Quilting: Allover small meander in white polyester thread on Mrs.Singer, my antique 31-15.

Rainbow Dreams "Best Day Ever"

This quilt is my very first completed quilt. The pattern is called "Rainbow Dreams" by Amy Ellis, but I call it the "Best Day Ever" Quilt named after the beautiful fabric line I used. The fabric is by April Rosenthal for Moda. I saw the picture of this quilt on the front cover of the MSQC Block Magazine and just knew I had to have one of my very own. Being a novice (NEW) quilter, I was so very proud when it finished beautifully and even a friend of mine who is a quilter complimented me on my beautiful piecing and points. I love this quilt SEW MUCH! I know it will always hold a special place in my heart since it is my first.

Flower Garden Quilt

I used Jenny's Flower Garden Quilt made with " Lovely" charm packs, to create this quilt. It was quilted by a longarmer, since I don't have the skills to do a big project like this. It was a gift given to my brother in law and wife for their cottage. I made it in gratitude for their generous help and care and support during the illness and death of my 35 year old son from cancer, and a two year serious illness of my husband. They generously shared their cottage at anytime for my son to use during his illness. It was his favorite place to be. they were there for my husband and me whenever we needed anything. I love the colors of this quilt, and they work very well in the "shabby chic" decor of their cottage. They LOVED it, and it's one of my favorites! Thanks for looking!

Monkey Wrench

I made this for an on line quilting challenge. We were given a block to design with and we had to choose one color that the quilt would "read" as. I chose red.

Kaffe's Medallion

Still haven't quilted this top as I'm pretty intimidated by the wide variety of possibilities that can make it pop or flop. Made with the Quick Curve Ruler and some fun Kaffe Fassett fabrics.

Read to Me

I love reading to my twin granddaughters! I made this quilt for us to cuddle under as we read their favorite books. Made from scraps and stash fabrics, some of their early favorite titles are machine embroidered on the top "shelf" of books. Other favorites will be added by hand as they grow. Backed in cuddle cloth to make it even more cozy!

Made for my grandson, Shannon. I used the tutorial for the binding star quilt that Jenny did. He saw a picture of it and fell in love with this quilt.

X's and O's

A quick fat quarter quilt! Backed with fleece so it is extra-cozy for chilly evenings. Inspired by a MSQC tutorial.
