Makenzie's Quilt - I originally saw this design as a magazine ad for Coats & Clark thread and decided it would be the perfect baby quilt. I decided to use the fabric pictured in the ad for the background, along with fabrics from my stash for the pinwheels. Only after the quilt was finished did I find the book and pattern! A happy quilt for my Great-Niece, Makenzie.

My First Quilt - This is my first attempt at quilting. I took a class at the local technical college and this was the result.

Nothing Could be Finer than to quilt in Carolina - A theme challenge quilt nothing could be finer than to quilt in Carolina. Had to use Carolina blue and quilt had to be done in cocentric rows. I pieced a log cabin in the woods and placed in on a log cabin background and then the borders are pieced rows depicting why I love to live and quilt in NC. From the ocean to the golf courses to the mountains.
