Dresden Quilt made for a wedding gift. Hand quilted.

Made this quilt as a member of a block swap on the Forum.

This quilt was made from scraps. It started as a Coin Quilt but decided to add some Dresden Plates as a twist.

This traditional quilt was made with scraps of 1930's fabrics in my stash. The blades were machine pieced and the plates were then hand appliques to the background squares. The fabrics in this quilt remind me of my Grandma Nan and Great Grammy Rose. These women were the angels who taught me to sew, knit, crochet and embroider. My Great Grammy Rose was the quilter in the family and my Grandma Nan made beautiful garments and crochet. This quilt is a tribute to them.

This is a variation on the beloved Log Cabin Quilt. I feel that this quilt is my most significant quilt I've made. I call it my Journey quilt. I began making this quilt in 1998. I made several blocks and then I experienced several profound life changes and I didn't resume working on it until about 2009. I used a variety of fabrics in the making of this quilt. Many of the fabrics are from Thimbleberries but the rest were picked up here and there and also pulled from my stash.
