queen bed quilt for daughter
I made each of my kids a quilt for their beds when they were night-time potty trained. This is the one for my youngest. She picked out the fabrics (greatly surprising me with her choice of batiks!!) and an HST design. The back is a minky that she fell in love with. The minky was slippery to baste and bind, but quilted really nicely.

queen bed quilt for son
A bed quilt I made for my son when he was night-time potty trained. He picked out the colors and fabrics, and we worked together on the design. I call it Triple Brick Lane. I used a fleece sheet for backing.

queen bed quilt for daughter
This is my oldest daughter's bed quilt. She picked a layer cake online, and picked the sashed lattice design from some pictures online. The sashing and binding are from an assorted purples jelly roll.

T-shirt quilt
T-shirt quilt for a baseball-loving grad. The quilting is meant to mimic the stitching on a baseball. The grad's mom asked if I could make a space on the back for people to sign at his grad party, which was a really cool idea!

FMQ sampler
I wanted to practice some more intricate FMQ patterns, but was hesitant to do so on a quilt I spent a lot of time piecing. So, I pieced together a layer cake very simply and then did a different FMQ on each square. It took a long time and some of the squares came out kind of brutal, but it was really good practice and a good confidence builder. I did add a bright flange to the binding to add a bit more color.

hooded towel
A hooded towel. Not a quilt by any means, but my go-to simple baby gift. (I made these for my kids, too, and they still use them!) Very easy to make using a towel and half a hand towel.

reversible stockings
Reversible stockings for my family. This one had been on the list for a while, and I finally got it done this past Christmas. The kids enjoyed picking out their fabrics and deciding which fabric would be the outer one this year.

lupine quilt
I made this for my mom after her mom (my Grandma) passed away. She and her mom shared a love of native flowers and birds, and cardinals were especially dear to my grandma. My hope is that she thinks of her mom when she uses it.

lamb panel crib quilt
Baby gift for my cousin's first child. My cousin grew up on a sheep farm and did the nursery in a lamb theme. She takes a picture of her son on the quilt every month, and I love seeing the quilt used in those memory pics.

Irish Quilt for Matt
This is the first quilt I ever attempted. It is a stack and whack quilt with fabrics sourced from Australia, Ireland and a couple of US states. The Irish theme denotes my son's Irish heritage. It is quilted with a rainbow thread showing the gold at the end of the rainbow so he would never be without the financial gainto have what he needs. On the back are squares of Kelly green, newspaper print ( he is a journalist) and music notation as he lives music and plays guitar.

Dani"s quilt
My youngest granddaughter is a real girlie girl. Pink is her color. Last year while doing the shop hop I picked up some pink fabric at a lot of the different shops. The white background has tiny pink rosebuds on it.

Karen's Disappearing 9Patch
i made this quilt for my friend's 60th birthday. I chose Kaffe Fassett Octopuses Garden as these are her colours. The Disappearing 9Patch is because she and her husband are always disappearing off in their caravan. For the back I chose a fabric that reminded me of seaweed to fit in with Octopuses Garden. She also loves the sea. I free motion quilted this myself. I added plain real green for the centre blocks to make the quilt appear less busy. I did not quilt the plain green squares to make them pop out. I am happy with the result. I hope she is too.

Pink
My friend LOVES pink. This quilt was made to comfort her after her husband died. It was made from scraps and used up every piece of pink that I could find. Even her handsome sons grab it to wrap up to watch TV.

BIG STAR QUILT
I first saw this Star pattern om MSQC some years ago. I had been touched by several family members and friend who have suffered or are going through cancer treatments so I decided that I would make this beautiful quilt for the charity associated with "Relay for Life". I made the quilt and had it professionally quilted by our local quilter who also donated her time & quilting. Thanks Jan. It was gratefully accepted and raffled raising funds for the cause. I am proud of this gorgeous quilt & my donation to Relay for Life. Lucky Lynda

Jewel toned charm quilt on point
I loved the tutorial for this quilt by Jenny yesterday. I look forward to the MSQC tutorial every week. I had to make this quilt right away. This will be a wedding gift for a friend. I wanted to have smaller borders, so I made four borders. I love the look of the tiny border. I just finished free motion quilting the quilt for a wedding in two days :-)

Northern Lights Quilt
I first saw this quilt in a magazine. I cannot remember which magazine but I loved making this quilt project and I used my leftover scrap fabrics from years of sewing. I quilted this quilt by using my Bernina 830 sewing machine that sits on a quilt frame.

I made this quilt for my daughter's friend who was moving away. I used the periwinkle template and Jenny's tutorial. I backed it with this neat Volkswagen bus fabric and quilted it with swirls.

Colors Ablaze
Saw a small quilt done in this pattern, and looked it up on the internet. It was the 10 Sisters book too and I made it with scraps I had. Fun to make.
