Christmas Express - When I saw this advent calendar pattern, I knew I needed to make two of them. One for each of my children's families. The stack of packages is moved every day until Christmas. Each train car is a little pocket. I hope this will be a Christmas memory that my grandchildren will always treasure.
Grandmother's Magnolia - My Grandmother was an oil painter and her speciality was magnolias. I took an image from one of her many paintings and drew it on a large sheet of paper. The drawing was then dissected in many pieces. I used freezer paper foundation piecing to construct this beautiful memory of my beloved Grandmother. She has been gone 17 years now, and everyday I still thank God for putting that beautiful woman in my life.
Purples & Greens - This was a raffle quilt that helped raise funds for my church choir (The Voices of Praise / St. Alphonsus "ROCK" Church) to travel to St. Thomas, VI. The quilt is being presented to the winner of the raffle on this evening (12-04-07).
I had a tremendous time choosing the fabrics and playing with the border layout and design. If you look carefully, you will see that the binding is pieced with most of the fabrics used in the quilt. I hope you enjoy.
Quilted Heart - I made this quilt for a relative and when she is old enough to appreciate it, I will give it to her. Unless someone offers to buy it (and I can make her another one). For it is not a set thing when you amek a quilt.
It's a Corker - A wall hanging or table runner for my "Wine Aficionado" family members. This was the first time that I used my BSR with ease. I also used metallic thread to quilt this.
The Joy of Kittens - I made this for my firstborn granddaughter on August 3, 2007, finished on November 3, 2007. It is kittens in a kitchen, reading books on the floor and baking. Lindsey loves kittens.
Pink Frogs a Jumpin' - This has a large center of green frogs on pink fabric, bordered by prints and solids and finished with a purple border for Kenedy, her favorite color.
Name of Maker: Lynda Galloway and Quilting Fans Guild members
Salute to a Veteran - All fabric was donated and guild members each made a block. I put it together with print blocks and quilted it by machine. It was one of 30+ quilts made by Quilting Fans Quilt Guild and donated to the new War Veteran's Home in Reserve, LA when it was opened this year.
NOW - I like the idea of using words on my quilts. The meaning of the word and the shapes of the letters all blend in to make the artwork give a feeling of what it is to be present in the moment.
My first quilt - This quilt was the very first quilt I had ever made. It is also the quilt that made me fall in love with
quilting. It was a challange and boy did I love it. I have not stopped quilting since.
Baby Flannel Quilt - This baby quilt is all flannel for softness. I find that baby's love the feel of flannel. It is a basic
trip around the world pattern.
Toddler quilt - This quilt was designed to fit the toddler bed. The quilts or blankets are either to big or to small.
My granddaughter still has it today and she is going to be 11 in December.
