My former Mother-In-Law accepted me wholeheartedly when, at age 18, I married her son and began growing up. She became my mentor, my other mother, my friend and someone who loved me, despite a divorce some 8 years later, now nearly 35 years ago. I remained in good touch with her, and she still called me and treated me as "daughter."
For her eldest daughter on her passing.

Butterfly Memorial Quilts for Ruth
Ruth and Dad got married in their 80's, and enjoyed 7 loving years before, at age 96, Ruth passed. I made little memorial butterfly quilts for her 4 daughters, and 1 for my Dad, for the memorial service.

Baby Bee Sweet Quilt
Inspired by a tutorial on Missouri Star Quilts,
https://quiltingtutorials.com/tutorial/make-a-jumping-jacks-quilt-with-jenny
and a darling black and yellow charm pack featuring bees and flowers, I put together this cute baby quilt. Very soon after, I found a baby boy to gift it to, the Grandson of a friend I have worked with for over 25 years! We saw each other's children grow up and now they are parents themselves!

Alphabet Panel
I am not usually into panels, but this one was so delightful! I purchased it years ago, before I was a Grandma, on a quilt run with my good pal and quilting buddy Sharon. Found it recently, and since my grandson is 3, he is learning his ABC's right now. I simply added a border and flannel backing, it's the right size to be a bedspread on a toddler bed.

Bright Unequal Quarters
Charms, cut in quarters but in irregular sizes, with a 3/4" strip plus sign. Solid sashes, a pastel 4 1/2" border makes a modern baby quilt.
The quilting is in straight lines, every 2 to 3 inches in both directions.

Half Square Triangles Quilt
How versatile is the Half Square Traingle? I love this block! Mottled, saturated colors with white, in 2 different sizes make this prefect square of a quilt.
Butterfly Baby Quilt
My dear friend Racquela is preparing to welcome her third girl to the world. I love this butterfly pattern, it's so pretty and elegant. The colors are modern baby colors.
