Saint Anne's Cross

I found this block pattern years ago named "Saint Anne's Cross."  It's a nice block.  Since my church is named Saint Anne's it makes for a nice block to give as a gift.  These are about 6" squares, good as coasters.  They were made for a husband and wife for attending a Cursillo Retreat weekend.


Red, White and Blue Baby

Simple rail fence, in ocean themed red, white and blue fat quarters, for a new baby born to an American missionary living in Africa. Stacie, Hollie's daughter gave birth to a son,

Baby Animals

When a friend asked me to help her make a quilt for an adoptee baby boy she had cared for, but confessed her sewing skills were suspect, I asked "can you color?"  Surprised, she said sure.  So, we searched google images for Baby Animal Cartoons, traced them onto lightly blue dyed muslin.  Colored with the inktense colored pencils (go on like colored pencils; add water with a brush and the inks become vibrant and color fast.) and made a simple setting with a collection of fat eights.  She was delighted!

A Cross of Charms

Quickly put together with 5" squares set on point.
