Embroidered Wedding Ring - My second embroidered quilt. I did this following a bit of instruction in our Embroidery Club. It took a long time to stitch out those 64 blocks but I really like it. It hangs in my dd's bedroom.
Baby strings - I started just making some string blocks on a muslin back ground. But I didn't like the quilt made with just the squares. So I cut them all in half and turned them into half square triangles. Then I just started playing with them until I came up with what you see here.
Baby Cube - I designed this quilt for the Fons and Porter baby quilt contest in the fall of 2007. I never finished it in time to submit to the contest, I finally finished it this summer.
Flying in All Directions - This was done for a quilt guild project. Called a nesting robin because instead of doing a round robin with others, we only worked on our own quilts. At the guild meetings we would find out what the next border would be.
Birds of a Feather - My guest room is called the birdhouse room because it has a collection of birdhouses in it. THe quilt on the bed is Thimbleberries' Safe Haven and this quilt now hanging on the wall to complete the collection.
Grandpa's trip - This trip around the world fabric selection was based on fabric my father brought back from Africa. In the quilt you will see it as dark blue with red and yellow. It was made for my nephew Josh's wedding 5 months after my father passed away. For Josh, it is a rememberance of his Grandfather.
Flowers Around the Fence - This is my very first quilt. I made it for my husband. The border is machine quilted and the interior is tyed from the back. I started the piecing with an old machine that had been sitting in the closet for years. It died so I had an excuse to buy a new one! Got a Singer 132Q at Walmart and am still using it. I fell in love with every step of the process. An obsession was born!
