First Log Cabin - I purchased a kit from a shop while traveling and then a year later the shop held a retreat. So I pulled from the "I'll get to" pile and finally completed my very first log cabin quilt. Now the decision is "do I keep or does it go to Mom"....tough one!

Hugs for Joann - The red velvet in this quilt is fabric left over from the bride's maids dresses from 1958 when the owner was married. She gave it to me, told me to make some dresses for my granddaughters, but it was too heavy for that so I made it into a quilt and returned it to her for Christmas. There were a couple extra pieces so I also made matching pillows and gave one to each of her sons with a note about the origin of the fabric. I quilted poinsettas and holly leaves in gold metallic thread.

Lake Michigan Summer Dreams - Made for my husbands cousins. They have a house on Lake Michigan where we love to vacation each summer. It was made as a thank you for allowing us to stay with them. The colors match the walls and carpet in the bedroom.

In Memory of Doyle - Linda's husband left some special shirts after his passing and the cloth from those shirts were used in these blocks with the paper piecing technique. In the corner, is embroidery of a singing guitar player, which Doyle did for a living while here.

Zicarrello's Log Cabin - Pieced by a serviceman's wife while in Slovenia to pass down to her girls. Very colorful!

Barb's Watercolor - Made as a wedding gift for a couple whose favorite color was blue. There were 30 different fabrics used, all 3" squares. It took about 2 months to get the squares right where I liked them before piecing and quilting. It was my first watercolor.
