A Picnic Quilt On Point

Another quilt inspired by a tutorial on Missouri Star Quilt's You Tube channel.  Simplified the on point random setting for a square quilt!  OK, had to try it.  YES!  Easy! 


Backed in a dense navy print and the batting a warm and natural with body, this quilt will be a gift for someone's picnic basket!

Autograph Quilt

As my friend packs up a lifetime in So. Cali and readies to move her family to Wyoming, we know we will miss her smile and professional expertise.  A Lot. 

A rail fence seemed appropriate to the new locale, and gave plenty of space to pen love, wishes and memories.

Sister's Choice Baby Qiuilt

An old friend is happily anticipating meeting her second grandchild, a little sister to her first. She told me the quilt theme is "Purple and Silver" and that she was having a hard time locating things for the nursery in this color scheme.  DING DING DING!  A challenge!

Not my usual color scheme, I had to SHOP! for a few fabrics to put this one together.  Why have I not used purple often? I like how this turned out!  I LOVE the Sister's Choice block, always putting the colors together a little differently.  Quilted overall in a 2 inch grid, it's ready to snuggle the new baby.

Tumbling Blocks Quilt

This block has always been fascinating, and now that I have finally made one, I want to make 100!  I want to make one in monochromatic colors, I want to make one in stripes, I want to make one with black spaces, and for babies, and for a man!

Vintage Baby Quilt

Recently, a young friend of mine told me she was expecting her first baby, and was looking forward to receiving a hand made baby quilt from me!  I asked her to tell me what she imagined a hand made baby quilt from me would look like.  She said nothing too trendy, or too pink.  "Kind Of Classic, and Vintage," she described, and showed me a photo of some white fabric with large low volume roses on it.  Well, I have not yet decided, and am working on something traditional with roses on it, but I also went out into my scraps, collected some old tablecloths, napkins and other table linens, and put this simple squares quilt together.  What do you think?
