Friendship Quilt - This quilt was made by myself and a friend, each block was hand signed by co-workers/friends as a going-away gift. We also included photos we had taken along the way of co-workers and place them on the border around the quilt.
Marj's flower garden - Made from a friends' cut-out hexagons...she was unable to finish the project.
It will always remind me of her because of the color choices !
Safari Adventure - I used an alternate center block, from the 2009 BOM. Left out a basket inner border and designed new corner blocks. Now hangs in my family room.
Margaret's Lap Quilt - I made this quilt for my cousin who has a love for cats, and she loves crazy cat patterns. She reads alot, thought it would keep her warm when she is sitting on the couch reading in the winter.
Mom's Star Quilt - This star quilt was hand pieced by my mom, date unknown, before she passed away. We found it tucked away with some other quilt tops she had made. She cut the pieces out with sissors, she never used a rotary cutter, and she hand pieced it. So we had it hand quilted by some Amish ladys, who did a wonderful job.
Karen's Dresden Plate - I loved this pattern so much after I made my daughter one, I decided to use the blocks I had left over, added a few, changed the border color, and made myself one for my bed.
Blended Ocean Trip - Wanted to make something special for my cousin that was graduating from Medical School. She was so thrilled ~ she had tears in her eyes and goose-bumps up her arms!!
Imperfect LeMoyne - Watched Alex's class , made LeMoyne star blocks from scraps. Used quilt as you go method. The blocks were all different sizes!! sashing is all "skiwiff". It is certainly not perfect but fun to do and my four month great great niece loved the colours. I've had hand sewing all winter, used a lot of odd fabrics and I am trying not to be annoyed because its imperfect.
The Hunt - I wanted to use the center panel in a quilt so I just started adding sections around the panel and kept building it out until I had the size I wanted. I just made it up as I went along, totally out of my comfort zone. I usually follow a pattern.
The Pharmacy Quilt - Every workplace should have a quilt! I work in a hospital pharmacy and this little quilt is on display all the time. It's a fun little piece made from fun batiks.
Shaman - This panel was started with the thread sketch of the Shaman, then yarns and ribbon couched; then stitched. The beaded strand was couched onto the surface after quilting. The square will be constructed into a sofa pillow.
Baby B's Quiet Quilt - Designed on Quiltpro, 9 patch alternating with plain blocks set on point, free machine quilted, for my soon to be great-nephew who is due tomorrow June 23rd. They wanted it bright!!
Thimbleberries FreeStyle Post Card - I wanted to try out Ricky's pattern in small scale so I made a postcard. Cut my strips 3/4" for the rails and the slant pieces 5/8".
