My Grandma's Flowers
Name of Maker: Kristen Murphy
My Grandma's Flowers - This is a combination of my 30's collection but mostly of my Grandmothers that I inherited after she passed away. All of the flower applique blocks were hand appliqued on vacation trips, mostly in an airport and on the plane, I had my mom applique a couple of them too! It hangs on my sewing room door so I stare at it when I sew! That's Grandma's flowers!
Vanity Square
Name of Maker: Kristen Murphy
Vanity Square - I bought the pattern and most fabrics from "Two Thimbles Quilt Shop" while visiting my mom in Washington last year, it was very fun to work with some different colors, I just got this one back from my mom (my personal long arm quilter) at Thanksgiving 2008 she did a fabulous job on it (I am sooo lucky!)
London Lawns
Name of Maker: Kristen Murphy
London Lawns - I was inspired by a quilt I saw in Mary Mashuta's "Cotton Candy Quilts" and thought it would be perfect for these London Lawns I purchased on ebay a few years back. I know its simple but I just love these prints and didn't want to cut them up too much, this is my second "hand quilting" project
Star/Flower
Name of Maker: Kristen Murphy
Star/Flower - I hand appliqued the flower(that turned out to look like a star)block, when I worked the front desk of an inn during the quiet evening hours of my shift. This quilt is meaningful to me because I had a crush on the maintenance guy who's parents ran the place and now how many years later we are married! This one is not completed yet.
Bloomin' Curves
Name of Maker: DeLynn
Bloomin' Curves - I started with some "ugly" fabric for the color scheme. Sliced, shuffled, and piece the curved background blocks. The stem and leaves were cut free form and fused to the quilt top for raw edge applique. The flower head is 3-D stuffed petals and center. I started echo quilting around the flower and stem and then my BSR took control of my hands. This was really too much quilting for the busy background but it sure was fun to do.

Name of Maker: Kristine
Tropical Sunset - This is a Quilt pattern I designed to beable to use large scale print or pattern

Flower garden - I designed this quilt to be used as a block of the month program. I now have it as a pattern for sale.

Silent Night
Name of Maker: Jan Anglin
Silent Night - I made this little wall hanging for my mother-in-law before she passed in 12-2008. This represents some of her things she cherished, church, Christmas.
Pink Mini
Name of Maker: Daisy Mier Fredericks
Pink Mini - This measures 5.5 by 7.5 inches. It's my first finished miniature. I used a very small stitch length for the machine quilting because I wanted it to look scale, as much as possible. The "binding" is a tiny satin stitch. The quilting is done diagonally in the center and free motion on the borders. It has taken up residence on a bed in the Loving Family dollhouse :-)
Charm Party Tote
Name of Maker: Jan Anglin
Charm Party Tote - 35 Charms were used to make this roomy easy to sew tote bag. I made this in a workshop by Common Threads Quilt Guild in Lafayette, IN which I'm a member. We are a big group of very talented, fun loving crazy ladies
Kathy's Blue Ridge Beauty
Name of Maker: Valerie Graf
Kathy's Blue Ridge Beauty
Shirley's Rites of Spring
Name of Maker: Valerie Graf
Shirley's Rites of Spring - My first project using charm squares. I made my own square-in-a-square template and alternated with four patches -- easy! I chicked out by stitching in the ditch for the quilting. (But I *am* trying to be braver with projects since this one.) Guessed at dimensions.
Asia for Africa
Name of Maker: Valerie Graf
Asia for Africa - Marvelous class I took taught a more precise and authentic way to make this block. Not as easy or quick as Tracey Brookshier's method, but I'm very pleased with the result. Sold at an auction to benefit orphans in Africa (hence, the name). Guessed at dimensions.
Plaids Galore
Name of Maker: Barbaralynn
Plaids Galore - My first quilt adventure. Spent months traveling to fabric stores hunting down plaids. Every one is different, no repeaters. Had fun and got hooked on quilting.
Aunt Flo's Attic Treasure
Name of Maker: Barbaralynn
Aunt Flo's Attic Treasure - When my 96 year old Aunt Flo passed away, we found a cardboard box full of unfinished quilt blocks. I added sashing and put them into a lap quilt. If anyone can date the fabrics, I would love to know approximately when they were created.
Amy and Victor's Wedding Quilt
Name of Maker: Barbaralynn
Amy and Victor's Wedding Quilt - My daughter's wedding quilt.
Mom's Luncheon Cloth Revisited
Name of Maker: Patty Latourell
Mom's Luncheon Cloth Revisited - I was inspired by Cindy Needham's featured artist display at 2008 Road to California. I had old linens from my mother who had passed away in 1970, some she did the cut work herself, others I believe were purchased. As a child it was my job to iron the table cloth we used for family gatherings, so this was a way to preserve a memory. The quilt is a smaller luncheon cloth, only 39" square, stitched then beaded with 2 different size of beads.
