Red White and Blue

Made this simple charm-square quilt with a thick, 100% cotton quilt bat for sitting on in the yard in the summer.  It's a generous lap sized quilt, stitched in the ditch.

Bugs and Blood for Amber

Little A is a fearless creature at age 6.  She likes bugs, and I think her favorite topic might be blood and stories that feature plenty of blood and gore.  Other peoples and even her own!  So when I found the fabric with blood spatter on quilt run, I knew it needed to be on her cuddle quilt for Grandma Anne's house!

The other fabrics include animal skins, bugs, a darling Dr Seuss fabric that says 'I like you!" skeletons and pirates, sharks, and dancing toys.

Skellies and Geese for Miranda

This quilt is a cuddle quilt for Miranda to use when she is visiting Grandma Anne. I think it suits her.  Made when she was 14, it has feminine colors (but not girly) a strong symmetry, great skeletons in the borders, and he wild zig zag that she fell in love with when she saw it.

I bought the fabrics all at Quilt Run 2015.  At first, the skellies were for a different quilt, but I realized this is where they needed to be!

Grandmother's Vintage Blocks

A friend of mine recently sent me these photos of a quilt I made for her way back in 2002.  She brought me some Grandmother's Flower Garden blocks her grandmother had made. I decided rather than trying to attach them and finish the quilt that way I would applique several on a muslin background.  Some repros fabric in the border, and a large stitch hand quilting finished this little memory quilt!

Mom Quilt

A fun project, gather some children and do handprint/footprint art: the children print with acrylic paint and add details to their prints. They sign and date their blocks. Then a simple arrangement with a charm pack and some triangle corners, a border, and WOW! A moment in time and precious memories are forever saved!

Made Spring break, 2015 . Remembering a moment with Sienna, Olivia and Preston.

Squares and Shadows

This quilt, for me, is very restrained.  In stark white and pastels, solids, the blocks are all the same, no surprise red or green anywhere. I quilted it by machine in an allover 2 inch grid. Laundered, it crinkled up nicely. It's for "a baby."

Bright Happy Baby Flowers

Experimenting with a setting from a book called "Circle Of Nine." You make 9 blocks (about the number I can make before getting bored!) and then make some half sized rectangles and such for staggering the 9 blocks in a circle. I really like the effect!   This is a little girl quilt, to be donated to a premature baby who is going home from the hospital soon.

The charm pack was named "LOL"
