When I started working on this quilt, which was my very first quilt, I realized the pattern I had chosen was called 'Summer in the Park' (revamped) and the fabric line I chose was Snowbird! So I pretended I meant to use opposite themes, and called it my opposite quilt! It is on the bed in my spare room.

Aqua Jacob's ladder

When I found out one of my friends had brain cancer I decided to make her a quilt that she could take to chemo. She was having problems seeing and found aqua a soothing color. This was the first Jacob's ladder quilt that I made. It is now my favorite pattern and this is my favorite quilt that I have made.

Coffee Disappearing Hourglass 2

I made this double sided quilt for a friend's 70th birthday. He has always loved coffee. He is an adopted grandfather to my children. I made him a coffee fabric disappearing hourglass 2 quilt on one side, and a panel with log cabins blocks on the back.

black and gold Variable Star Quilt

I made this "Variable Star" quilt for my niece for Christmas. This quilt pattern was the first quilt made by Angela Walters on the Midnight Quilt Show. My niece lives in Western Pennsylvania. She wanted a black and gold quilt. I learned the value of a true 1/4 inch seam.

Red & White Dutchman's Puzzle pattern by MSQC

I started thinking about making a red & white quilt several years ago and started collecting charm squares. Little did I know that at the time there weren't many strictly red with white fabrics available. There is NOW! LOL I put 12 blocks together only to find out that I the flying geese weren't flying the correct direction. Silly geese!! I also decided that I wanted a queen size. All has been fixed and I quilted on my long arm. It turned out great and has been gifted to my daughter for her Christmas quilt (it will also work for Valentine's Day).

Beach Balls

This is a little baby quilt by Schnibbles called Roundabout. I had two charm packs, Sunny Days and Beautiful Basics Basket. They looked like they needed to be together and here is the result.

Baby Quilt

I wanted to make a baby quilt for a friend's daughter that had interesting colors and fell in love with the Into The Deep line. I created 9-patches and sewed them together, backed it with Into The Deep and quilted it with straight line stitching on either side of the ditch. I wanted to hold it together but make sure it would be soft after it was washed.

Hearts for Magane

A dear friend of mine was battling breast cancer. We now live far away and I wanted to make her something she could hold and know I was there with her. She and I share a love for classical music. I was delighted to find an All That Jazz by Robert Kaufman layer cake. I decided to make a heart quilt and use Jenny's falling charm idea to stagger the hearths.

Market Day

Our next door neighbors are in their 80s. We have lived next door for twenty years. Each year they have a garden and share the extra veggies with us. They are so sweet. Katie has been having trouble with her back and shoulder and has been having to sleep in a chair for some time now. I had been wanting to make her a quilt and found this adorable fabric with veggies and market stands. I decided to make a lattice quilt. At first I used honey strips but couldn't get the corners to match. I tore the whole thing apart and redid it using jelly strips. It turned out much better. I still don't know what I was doing wrong with the skinnier strips, but I guess they were much less forgiving. It was backed in a English garden-type print and quilted by a local quilter. The quilt was gifted Christmas 2018.
