Tutti Frutti City

Kristianne's wall quilt - At the 2012 Manteca, CA, quilt show, one of the vendors had a similar quilt hanging in her booth. I talked to her for quite a while about how she did it, and she shared with me the cutting of the leaves and how she added small beads to the finished project. Though I added some beads, her quilt was covered with them, was a different size, and different colors. I asked if I could try to make something similar and she told me to "go for it", so I did.

Pooh's Welcome - I made this quilt for baby Reed Van Eman. it is a nine-patch with fussy-cut squares of Pooh and friends 100% cotton fabrics. This is one of the first baby quilts that I quilted on my new machine.

Kaitlyn's Garden - I made this quilt for my Granddaughter Kaitlyn's 14th Birthday. She wanted a bright quilt with orange in it and when I saw these colors I knew she would like it. This quilt was so much fun to make. I had my friend Dawna quilt it on her longarm and she did an awesome job. It is made of 100% cotton quilting fabrics and batted with warm and natural.

My Delightful Garden - 40x40 wall quilt made of Hoffman 100% cotton fabrics and warm and natural batting. This little quilt was made for the 2012 Hoffman Challenge and is presently traveling with the Hoffman Trunk Show. It was a delight to make and I can't wait to get it back.

Eagle Star - I have no idea who designed the star. I just found the pattern loose amoung my papers one day.

Heart Sampler - Small heart panel framed in mitered border panel and Fairy Frost, used as a sampler for different kinds of quilting.

Pictures from Camp Laughing Bear - Laughing Bear panel surrounded by small scrappy squares with bear paw blocks in the corners.

Ann's Cat Clock - Made for a small group challenge using 10 different fabric and embellishments and an electronic clock work plus some personal additions. Pieced and quilted and mounted on hard board. The tail is a moving pendulum. Made to commemorate the clock in my friend's kitchen back in the '50s.

Retro Baby - I have used a 5 inch charm pack and wanted a simple layout. Mark and Lisa were expecting their fourth girl so I did not want to use pink. Instead I did a beautiful retro look in teal and brown.

Dad - 1941 letter from Lithania printed on fabric for the background. Photos from 1917 and 1923 printed on fabric. Charred Heat dissolving stabilizer to make it look old and damaged.

Secret Garden - Hexagons are fascinating because of the design possibilities. I challenged myself to work with ¼ inch size hexagons. Each unit was made individually by hand and then whip stitched together.

Majestic Mountains - A class to make use of our stash scrapes and use an technique to made hills and valleys. You can see the light and dark motion of the quilt.
