I watched Jenny's Illusions tutorial and then modified it by using a charm pack, Night at the Opera, to complete the quilt. It was for my daughter, Andrea's 30th birthday because she loves the Phantom of the Opera.

Time to Smell the Roses

This 40" x 40" whole cloth quilt was created in commemoration of my retirement at the end of April this year. I love whole cloth quilts; they remind me of fluffy frosting! I utiilzed a couple of stencils that I have had for awhile that I previously didn't know what to do with. I also incorporated machine embroidery in the center medallion. Embroidery was done with Mettler Polysheen thread, the inner border was stitched with Essential Pro poly 40 wt thread and the balance was stitched with So Fine 50 wt thread. This is the first time I added "bling" to a quilt but felt since it was a celebration quilt, bling was quite okay! As a final touch, I added piping to the binding in the same golden shade as the thread used in the embroidery and the inner border to tie everything together.

Goodnight Irene

I fell in love with this star and 'x' pattern in the spring of 2014th. It took a year, but I finished it in May 2015. This is my 3rd quilt. I used charm packs and Jenny Doan's piecing method. The fabric is Everything But The Kitchen Sink. The quilt is kingsize, straight line quilting, Warm and Natural batting.

Matthew's Quilt

I made this quilt for my son, Matthew, for his birthday. This quilt was made exclusively from yardage using templates. The machine quilter embroidered the quilt label information in a corner on the front side.

Irish Chain Quilt

Saw this tutorial from Jenny Doan of Missouri Star Quilt Company and it reminded me of a quilt from my childhood my great grandmother had on her bed. Had to make it! Although still a beginner and having problems with the stated quantity of material (had to reorder fabric) I am happy with the almost finished project. Still have to bind the quilt and quess what, I need more fabric for the binding. It has been a UFO for a couple of months and once I figure out what to do about the binding It will be complete.

Picket Fence Pattern in 6 Sizes from Wall to King

I am super excited to introduce Picket Fence to you! She is the second in my budding line of quilt patterns! Picket Fence is a versatile pattern that looks great in many fabric collections! Sweet pastels or bold, masculine prints are perfect for Picket Fence. The cover quilt is lap size in PB&J by Basic Grey. The pink, yellow and green version is the original Picket Fence in Spring quilt from 2012, making it up as I sewed. This quilt is the reason I named the pattern Picket Fence; it reminded me of a white picket fence on a lovely spring day, thus the name, Picket Fence in Spring. Recently I was asked about the pattern through my Etsy shop, and I decided it was time to write it! This pattern is layer cake friendly and comes with instructions for six sizes from wall hanging to king! The pattern includes fabric requirements for using layer cake squares or yardage. It also includes mock-ups of all sizes in various fabric collections so you can see what each size looks like when finished. You can find this pattern in my Etsy pattern shop: http://bit.ly/ShopBusyHandsPatterns

Wedding Quilt for friends

i have a dear friend who's daughter will marry in August. They are lovers of nature so I thought a Bear Paw quilt was appropriate. I googled "Images" online and found this design. It is an easy layout to copy. I used scraps and stash in the colors the bride and groom are using in their home based on an image of a rug that is in their house. The bride's mom said the colors in the rug are carried throughout their home. This quilt is probably about twin-size. The Bear Paw block measures 10" finished.

Under the Texas Stars

My younger brother is a RN and has taken on the responsibility for our elderly father (and mother before she passed in 2013). He has loved quilts since our great grandmother made each of my siblings an "around the world" quilt top many years ago. Only one is still in use as the others were used to the point of extinction. As a thank you for all he has done for our parents, my sister and I decided to make this quilt for him and gave it to him this past 4th of July. We are proud native Texans so felts this would be the perfect quilt for his bed.

Jill's Shooting Star

One of my friends moved far away into a new home, but still visits periodically. In her new home there was a flat screen TV mount over her fireplace. She did not want to put a TV there, but could not easily take the mount down without damaging the wall. She asked if I could make a wall hanging to cover the space. Once I completed the project, she had it framed and it looks perfect above her fireplace.
