Started quilting about 10 yrs ago when Hubby gave me a beautiful Baby Lock for my birthday. A few projects done: lap quilts, placemats, hotpads, & a few simple bags. So many projects I want to do! I need to retire so I can them done!

Cutting Corners with leftovers
I had some strip sets leftover from a project & they had sat in my stash for some time. I had no ideas what to use them for & had resigned my self to picking the strips apart! Then there's Jenny's Cutting Corners tutorial! I measured the depth of my strip set & cut background squares (again, leftovers from a different project). Voila, a nice sized lap quilt top. Of course, I'll just Have to go shopping for the backing!

Mermaids for Anna
Self-binding receiving blanket for my new great-niece. She is a little redhead. I am from the West Coast & when I saw the redheaded mermaids I knew I had to make this for her.

Found this kit in a wonderful shop in Olds, Alberta. A table runner, but will use it for a wall hanging for Canada Day. Inukshuk stripe & Maple Leaves print.

Dave's Gillie Suit Quilt
Hubby is a Canadain Forces veteran. He loves his cammo fabric! I made him a rag quilt, but call it his gillie suit (used in camouflage) quilt. I backed it with flannel to make it super comfy & soft. He helped with the snipping.

Shades of Sunshine
This was a MSQC mystery quilt a few years ago. I finished the top at the time, but only recently finished it. I am giving it to a lady in my cancer support group who is moving away. She gives such wonderful hugs & I want here to have hugs wherever she goes.

Pink Retirement Quilt
The staff at the Victoria Cancer Clinic are wonderful: quick to hold a hand, give hugs & answer any questions. One nurse is retiring soon, & I wanted her to have something to toss on her lap while she sips her tea. This is the first time I used the long arm machine at my LQS. I think it turned out fine. It has a nice flannel on the back for extra snuggling! Used Kaffe Fassett FQ collection I had (name unknown).
