Soft Whisper Baby Quilt

 I made this little quilt for a friend's baby but then she had a BIG burly

boy and I realized this was not the right quilt fir that baby! So I put it up in the cabinet. When I got a new quilting frame I reached for it to practice. Steep learning curve. Some stitch ripping. Not good enough to offer for sale, but it served its purpose as a learning project!

Chandelier

 I do not even remember making this little quilt! But when I got my new frame for quilting I pulled this out, set up the frame and this is tge second quilt I quilted on the frame. By now I have several of the kinks worked out and started having fun!

Bright Stars for Heather

 Young Heather came to us last summer as a new grad from seminary to intern with Brenda at St. Andrews. At the same time Pete had graduated and was also interning as a Deacon. 

We enjoyed our young new age Deacon interning (barefoot) to remain connected to the earth with Seasoned Pete also finding his voice and role in the church. 

Heather was ordained and has accepted a post to minister to students at UCSD. We bid her good bye and good luck with a bright modern quilt of stars, peace and inclusion. We will have it autographed and prayed over on her last Sunday at St Andrews. 

Baby Woodland Creatures

Inspired by a printed panel of 8 critters blocks in soft neutral colors matched with similar fabric colors patchworked into quarter square triangle blocks. I set them in a circle of nine pattern (except there are only 8 blocks) and free motion meandered quilting. 

A generous 44x51 for a crib or toddler bed.

Ms Amy's Sunflowers

 Ms Amy created Springs Dual Language Academy in 2014. On opening day she had 13 students. Now, 2023, there are more than 200 in Tk through 8th grade. Ezekiel is thriving in the second grade. 

Ms. Amy retires this year. I made this special quilt to be signed by teachers, parents and students in her honor. 

All the fabrics making up the blades are sunflower fabrics! 

A few orphan blocks from another project matched the colors. 

A generous sized lap quilt with a thick cotton batting. 

Large Granny Squares

Starting with 4" solid squares and using the Jenny Doan technique for setting on point squares (search YouTube for missouri star turnabout granny squares for idea) I made 4 squares with muted solid leftovers and then put them aside a few years. Searching recently for another project I found the 4 blocks. Set them, and found the border fabric in my stripes stash box. Decided to miter the stripe corners and free motion it. Done!

And one more dog quilt

 I buy a quarter yard of dog or cat or animal fabric when I find them on sale and just cut them into 5 inch squares. Then making a 36 inch quilt is as simple as picking out 40 and arranging them using the technique I learned from Missouri Star of 2 25 square squares (The setting squares run diagonally) then cutting each in half on the diagonal. Re set the 4 pieces,  add a 3 inch border and back with doggy flannel. That's it!
