Batik Rail Fences

Super simple rail fence blocks, placed on point for a husband and wife.  With the feminine one, I decided to group similar colored blocks, and for the masculine one I randomized the blocks.  A few of "his" strips made it into her quilt and vice versa. The masculine blocks were a bit larger, so the quilt turned out larger. 

Wonky Geese

Each flying goose is made free form and then set in rows.  Took a little time, but each block is an individual creation!  The mother asked for pink and grey.
Congratulations Betty on your miracle daughter Luna . 

Coffee Quilt

I love my coffee!  An afternoon relax, with my favorite book or magazine for 30 minutes and a cup of home made skinny latte.  Mmmmm!  Collected the fabrics primarily on the Quilt Hop in 2012, they include coffee beans, rich browns, coffee themed panels, an iron-on inked in, a great old scrap that had a coffee border.  The circles were from a charm quilt pattern book.  This coffee quilt often  hangs on the wall in the dining room.

Baby Animals

I wanted o experiment with Inktense Pencils on this baby quilt.  I used an Aunt martha iron-on embroidery pattern which I traced with permanent Sharpie markers.  Then I colored them in with inktense pencils.  These colored pencils when wet with the paintbrush convert to a water-fast ink.  Heat set by ironing, I then set them simply into a scraps from he sewing room floor quilt and stpiile-quilted then washed to shrink.  The colors remained.  I distressed it lightly with some coffe stains, to make it appear to be from the 60's.

Surfing Penguins

This simple large block quilt exists simply to help me switch Christmas decorations "off" before Valentines comes along.  Made for reading/relaxing in the living room, it features 4 fabrics, the main theme being surfing arctic penguins.

A Spring Table Runner for Ruth

A great find some years back of this basket fabric, and the floral scraps Ruth won at a raffle and gave me when she first met my Dad, make an appearance in a spring table runner to commemorate their second wedding anniversary.  Spring, 2013

Made this little baby quilt from a pastel charm pack and some solid coral.  The border was a scrap leftover from last summer's quilt.  March 2013
