I have updated this with the full top done as the main picture instead of the pieced picture and now have included the quilted pictures as it has been quilted, bound and is finished! It's a Judy Niemeyer pattern. It received a Best of Show for 2016 at our local guild's quilt show!

Periwinkle Table Topper

I love to change the toppers on my tables, just as most of us do. This is for the kitchen. It's done in a variation on the Periwinkle tutorial.

Buried Treasure

Sometimes its hard to find the perfect fabric for a 13 yr old boy but when I spotted this Layer Cake by Benartex called Buried Treasure, I knew I had to make something for my grandson Austin. I don't recall the name of this pattern but it was very simple using a layer cake sliced once leaving a 6" x 10" rectangle and a 4" x 10" rectangle, then adding a 2 1/2" strip to the top and one side of each rectangle. Alternating the direction of each rectangle created the design.

The "Disappearing" Disappearing Hourglass

I saw Jenny's Disappearing Hourglass 2 tutorial and immediately knew that I had a Moda layer cake (Mirabelle) that I wanted to use to make it. I had been saving this layer cake for just the right project and to my mind, this was the one! The quilt took me much longer to cut out and piece than I thought it would and I did much more "reverse" sewing than I normally do. By the time I was finished, it had come to be know around the house as the project from Hades. Once it was done, I went back and looked at the tutorial and to my utter dismay, I realized that I had put the block together incorrectly. This was an expensive and time consuming "oops" project. While I am mostly happy with the way it looks, the fact that I now KNOW that the blocks were put together incorrectly had prevented me from backing, quilting and binding this top. Note to myself - remember that your memory isn't as keen as it once was. . .

Tumbler Table Runner

I loved how quickly this runner came together. I used the fabric line Eclectic Elements with some other fabric from my scrap box. Perfect fit for our family room table. It is out at the Long arm quilter can't wait to get it back.

Brodered periwinkle

I saw this tutorial, and the Basically Patrick 10" squares were the deal of the day and thought it would make a terrific quilt. I got the blocks ready, but wanted it larger, so ordered another layer cake pack, and this is the mostly finished project.

A Warm Winter's Hug

This quilt I started in early December 2014. About mid Dec. I developed a serious medical issue that really sapped my strength. But I did a bit of sewing every day because it makes me happy. Then, suddenly my beloved husky x dog of 8 years became gravely ill and died ( all within 4 hours). I was heart broken. I used the making of this quilt to deal with my grief. As I live alone, the quiet was deafening! My original plan was to sell this quilt when it was done. I rarely keep any quilts for myself as I am always making them for someone else. But this quilt saw me through a very rough winter and in my home it will stay. It will be a reminder of my beloved dog, This quilt was very relaxing to do and the free motion quilting was done on my domestic machine and represents the north wind.

Charm Big Star

I made this quilt for my daughter for Christmas 2014. I finished sewing on the binding during a 4-hour layover in the Denver Airport. She made Christmas stockings and other decorations to match. I have actually made this quilt 3 times in different fabrics.

Flannel Rag

I make all of the men in the family "camp quilts." They're always flannel rag quilts because they wash really well after being at the hunting cabin. My mother kept stealing the one I made for my dad, so I made one for her.

Quilt as you go

I took a class that used the book Quilt As-You-Go Made Modern: Fresh Techniques for Busy Quilters by Jera Brandvig. Yes you do quilt as you go but you still have to sew on the backing.

Zippered pouch

I made these pouches as Christmas gifts to my friends at work. I got the pattern from the Moda website. They were so easy even though this was my first time sewing a zipper. I did them like an assembly line performing one step at a time. I had fun matching the zippers to the handles. My friends loved them!
