Isn't this fun? Made of 4 inch fabric scraps picked up online for only a few dollars, it reminds me of the fabrics my mom used to buy in the 60s.
Combined with a budget plain white cotton, simply quilted on the frame and embellished joyfully with leaves and feathers. Thin 100% cotton batting. 45 x 56 for a nice sized lap quilt.
SOLD on etsy
Named by Pete, I designed and made this quilt to sell on etsy. I wanted a lap quilt that would appeal to the guys. It's graphic. It's controlled in colors. The quilting is geometric.
Very controlled for me! Just 2 fabrics and a third one for the binding. I had seen a quilt someplace and intended to copy it but somehow I didn't and thus the Tuning Forks appeared!

I love making the garlic knots design and I made this one with a budget 2.5" strip collection of 22 (20") Japanese fabric strips plus a few from my own stash.
The backgrounds/accents are plain stash black and white. I did audition several fabrics with Japanese themes for the 5" top and bottom border, but I didn't love the colors. I selected a black and white stylized floral from stash.
I I did a classic clamshells quilting for the body, serpentine lines for the 2" inner borders and my own design if horizontal swirly lines and vertical serpentine lines down the middle of the big borders.
Used the last little leftover scraps on the back with a gray on white floral. It is 43 x 53.
This quilt is for St. Andrews Church silent auction fundraiser.
I made this a second time for a silent auction for Camp Stevens, the Episcopal Church's camp in Julian.
Simply made, it is striking in these autumn solids and blacks.
Of course it also became a canvas for my newly evolving freemotion quilting skills. Clamshells in the body with Grey thread, ribbon candy in the inner black border and feathers in the borders.
A Grey backing and black binding for this 57 X 48 quilt with 100% cotton backing.
Of course it's not an Amish quilt! But the colors are inspired by the beautiful black backgrounds and solids featured in Amish Quilting.
The black has bold Grey free motion quilting on it. I guess I thought the quilting wouldn't be so prominent!
A leftover on the back.

Made with a $3 bag of Chibese 4 inch squares and JoAnn Quilters Paradise on sale for $2.99/yard, the main idea was to make a canvas for practicing free motion quilting.
Angela Walter's is my go to YouTuber for free motion quilting and I filled this one with feathers, swoops, flowers, lines and stars.
45 x 50. SOLD on etsy
I made this one with slightly smaller blocks. More feminine. Light and happy fabrics then set in an around the world setting.
I have a friend from my early NICU days who is a powerhouse and genuinely kind person. Last year she fought breast cancer and us now in remission. She j6st let us know as she preferred privacy fir the vicious part of her battle.
I made this quilt to cheer and celebrate her triumphs.
Quilted on the Jazz2 with prewound bobbins it won't pretty fast. The body is a swirl meander. The borders were done on the Juki with serpentine lines surrounded by wavy lines.
Backed with pretty neutrals and the batting a 20 80 poly cotton.

Kendra asked me to make her some baby boy quilts for a friend. First children, twin boys. What a fun assignment!
I decided on using the same colors and idea, just a different SHAPE on each quilt.
So I picked blues, greens and yellow, a mostly gray charm pack, and a yard of baby themed pale blue white and gray for the borders.
I quilted them similarly on the frame with blue on white backs and a happy stripe for the binding.
