Chaos in Pink - This quilt was in the American Patchwork and Quilting magazine several years ago and then I saw it in Sheila Sinclair Snyder's book. I made the quilt from the magazine pattern and I was so surprised to see it in the book. It was fun to make and nice to not have to add a border when I was done. Great easy pattern.
Indigo's Allure - As soon as I saw this pattern I knew I had to make it. The hardest part was finding navy and white print fabrics. The blue was too light in most fabrics I found. The applique was fused with fusible web and then blanket stitched by hand.
Happy Fall Holidays - The quilt has 'black' redwork. The pattern I remember buying at The Cotton Patch in Lafayette, CA. It was a fun quilt, and I hang it up from Columbus day through the weekend after Thanksgiving.
Red, White & Wonderful - This was a Christmas present for my daughter. Her favorite color is red and I just loved the fabrics in theis quilt, especially the borders.
Sampler - My first hand applique quilt is still in process with my experimental machine quilting. Since this is a first and a learning exercise, lots of tearing out wear and tear. Still, it will be a great wall hanging for my covered porch in the summer. The blocks were done in a class with Sara Hill at Marti's Patchwork Cottage in Black Mountain, NC.
My Charming Jelly Cake Quilt - I designed this quilt myself. I used 1 charm pack, 1 jelly roll and 1 layer cake. That's how I came up with the name of the quilt.
Sadie - Sadie, beloved dog of my mother-in-law, was the subject of this art quilt. It was made for her 80th birthday. I used the raw edge applique technique.
Betty's Garden - Last year my mother-in-law saw a small lap quilt I made years ago, and liked it better than any of my other quilts, so this year I made a larger version of it for her 84th birthday. It's a combination of tulip and log cabin blocks. Backing is "Minkie" to make it nice and snuggly. :) I also used an extra tulip block to make a throw pillow to match.
Love You - This was one small wall hanging that I made for my daughter to decorate her college dorm room for Valentine's Day. I made it with leftover fabric scraps I had. I have written up directions for this pattern which I have been able to have a few local stores sell.
Name of Maker: Dixie Aljets, Connie Phillips (Nldesigner)
DAV 20th Celebration - Dixie, has volunteered for Disabled Vets Winter Sports Clinic for 25 years. This T-shirt quilt was done for the 2oth completed with shirts/logos from first years. original blocks we added.
Blue and Green Table Runner - This was my first foray into making 3D flowers. I love the blue and green against the white background, it looks so fresh.
Katie's Butterfly Quilt - I designed the quilt layout using Electric Quilt. The pattern was drawn by hand, based on name tag from JT's pre-school class.
Washington Star Round Robin - This was the 2010-2011 Round Robin project of the "Hambones" Round Robin group. I made the center, then requested the remainder of the quilt follow a "Northwest" (ideally, Whidbey Island WA) theme using colors typical of this area, largly greens and blues.
Aunt Minnie's Farm House - Made for a guild challenge called "Houses". Photo taken by my Father while visiting Aunt Minnie in Strabane,
Ireland in the 1940's. It won third place in Peoples Choice.
