Happy Days - Made in 2013 for my son and daughter-in-law. I used several charm packs of Kaffe Fasset fabric and various coloured polka dots for the background.
By the sea - After returning from a 7 week vacation, I needed to get back into the quilt game. I decided to do an art quilt to get the juices flowing again and this is what I came up with.
No name - Was looking through the Quilting Mavens book and decided this was the one I wanted to do. Pulled out fabric from stash and went to work. Quilting it was more fun than making it, I used different stitches that I had never done before. I especially like the pebbling on the border, made it look like leather.
Christmas/Anniversary Quilt - This is a queen/king size quilt I made for my stepdaughter and her husband for Christmas, 2011, and their 10th wedding anniversary in Jan, 2012. I like this pattern because it lends itself to modern and traditional style fabrics, and anything in between.
Tribute to Mom - In tribute to the legacy left by my mother, and for the love of needlework she instilled in my daughter Leah and me, we decided to honour her memory by creating a Family Album quilt using traditionally hand pieced blocks to frame some of her embroidered pieces.
Flower Garden - The top was made in the 1930's by Grandmother Joan McKinney Korte in Tulsa, OK. After I found it in a box in a closet after her death at 95 I finished it with a soft pink backing and hand quilted. A true family treasure.
Fancy Lady - Cotton/Poly knit face and body. Wool hair and commercial quilting cotton background. Backing is vintage floral drapery linen. Features painted with copic markers, ink, micron and pastels.
Fairies with Attitude - This was started for a different granddaughter in approximately 2002. I finished it and it ended up with a different grandaughter. But still very fitting. The back is minky.
Happy Trails - This quilt was made with tee shirts collected when we were traveling. It was fun to make and hangs in our bedroom and reminds us of our travels around the country and world.
The Ugly Quilt! - Blocks were made by individual members of a quilt group. When my husband saw them he asked what I was going to do with those "ugly" things. I started laughing and wondering too. But when I got it all put together and quilted it looked much better and is now one of my favorite quilts. You never know!
Old MacDonalds Farm - This quilt was made for my grandson. The blocks are machine embroidered with Old MacDonald Farm designs and the quilt design just adapted itself as the quilt was assembled. He dearly loves this quilt. It washes beautifully too.
