Johnathan's Quilt

Johnathan's Quilt - This quilt was made for our grandson's birthday. He played baseball and football in school and I embroidered baseball and football players on the plain blocks.

My First Quilt Retreat
Name of Maker: hereca622
My First Quilt Retreat - I signed up for my first quilt retreat in September 2006 at the Red Barn in Cold Springs, TX. My Friend and Fellow Quilter mentioned that the other quilters took a quilt for their bed. Being a QUILTER, I could not show up without a QUILT for my bed. I had just made a turning twenty quilt for my husband and I felt that I could finish one for me in time for the retreat. I pulled out all my fabrics that had a quilting and sewing theme and one fat quarter of Hersheys Candy Bars, because my friend said that there was no quilt retreat without CHOCOLATE. The Red Barn spoiled me rotten and I have already signed up for this year. (Mr. Red Barn made homemade bread three times a day for us!!!)

Happy 30th Anniversary
Name of Maker: hereca622
Happy 30th Anniversary - My Husband is an Engineer and travels Internationally as part of his job. His only weakness is the newest technology. (Phones, computers, Ipod, TIVO, etc.) I gave him this quilt for our 30th Wedding Anniversary. It contains twenty fat quarters of computers, phones, wires, tools and travel fabrics. He was traveling when I made it, so it was a complete surprise.

Yo-Yo Lady
Name of Maker: hereca622
Yo-Yo Lady - There are 400 Yo-Yos in this miniature quilt. I was a member of a ladies group that met once a week at a member's home. We worked on whatever project each of us had in progress, talked, laughed and ate. I became known as the YO-YO Lady while working on this project. Twelve years later, I am still good friends with some of the ladies and they still point out yo-yos to me.
Looped and Lost
Name of Maker: hereca622
Looped and Lost - Each square in this miniature quilt is 1" x 1'. I used a technique that I saw in a quilting magazine. (I can not put my hands on it at this time. I'll keep looking.) The quarter circle in each square is not pieced. They were carefully cut from black fabric with white dots and white fabric with black dots using a clear template. At the qult show, everyone kept coming to me and saying, How did you piece those little squares. I told them to take a closer look, but had to confess the trick.
