Cruiser Strippy Quilt - Our guild donates quilts for the local police to carry in their cruisers. These quilts are given to children during stressful times (fire, domestic violence, etc.) I made this quilt to be donated to this cause.
Brayden's Kitten Quilt - This was made for my best friend's daughter when she had her first child. The quilting was done while button-hole stitching the applique pieces on and doing some zigzag stitches to make the "grass".
My First - This was my first quilt. I took a class at a local quilt shop. I used the feather stitch to quilt it in the ditch. My cats, Bonnie and Clyde, have inspected the quilt and given their approval. :)
Blue and Yellow Wallhanging - This was the second quilt I made. I took a quilting class that taught me hand-piecing and hand-quilting. I love the wall-hanging but quickly decided hand-piecing was not for me.
Karen's Kolors - This is a sampler quilt that I made for my first quilting class. Hand pieced, hand quilted. I was piecing the first couple of blocks when my daughter exclaimed "My favorite colors!"... hence the name Karen's Kolors.
Circles and Flowers of Joy - I Love this use of strips and curves in my favorite colors. Each square says what it wants to be as you build the quilt from the strata you've made.
Lone Star Quilt - This is a Lone Star Quilt I made for a wedding gift to my husband's daughter in 2003. It was the very first time I stippled the quilt by machine and added an appliqued border of 1 Corinthians 13 along with the names and date of the wedding. they love it! This was a different way of making this kind of quilt from a pattern I'd purchased years ago that had the actual diamonds cut. This was made from strips cutting them in 45 degree angles to create the center star. The quilt came out excellent and the stippling was perfect!
Wren's Quilt - I wanted to make a baby quilt for a friend, and when I saw this pattern I knew I had to try it. It was a bit challenging, but I really learned a lot.
Samantha's Quilt - I saw this pattern on Simply Quilts and really liked it, so I ordered the pattern from the company and saved it for a few years before I was brave enough to try it. I made it for our daughter's 16th birthday. Since my sewing room was in the living room at the time, it was a challenge to get it made "right under her nose". She never did know I was making it until it was given to her. I really had fun picking the fabric for this project and it is my favorite quilt that I have made.
My Blue Bren Bren - I made two of these, one for myself and my best friend from high school (Bren Bren, short for Brenda) who was diagnosed with cancer. My mother machine quilted both of them for me and included our names and "Best Friends Forever" in the quilting on both of them. Blue was both our favorite color, at least in high school.
