Vintage Toys - This was a wallhanging to go in the kids' playroom. Some of the redwork designs were published, and some were adapted by me from old photos (robot.)
Mom & Dad's Quilt - MANY small strips sewed together, then cut out in desired shapes along with some
solids. Many different types of cotton fabrics used.
Christmas Wreath - I wanted a Christmas wreath pattern to use at the holiday and fell in love with this pattern.
I have learned the importance of remembering all information on the patterns and quilts I make.
Thanks Alex and Ricky! From here on out I document everything!
Lasagne - Bright, fall colors with outdoorsy theme (bears, trees, leaves, cabins). Given to teenage grandson who LOVES to eat (quilt is named Lasagne) and he also loves the outdoors, hunting & fishing.
Hanover Hawks - Our Middle School had a silent auction fundraiser. I quickly thought up this idea and made it in about 1 week. It's not fancy, but I used a hawk head off a school drink bottle and designed the center with it. I have never appliqued before, I thought it turned out pretty well. Kyra put in 23 tickets so she could win the quilt. I was very happy with that.
Lauren's Quilt - Made from scraps and antique fabrics for oldest granddaughter. Some of the scraps are from garments I made for her when she was a young girl and she remembers them.
Scottie Collection - This quilt was made for my Mother-in-law and Father-in-law. They have always owned Scottie's so naturally this was the perfect quilt for them.
Lancaast Trip Challenge - This wallhanging was made in response to a challenge after a bus trip to Lancaster PA. The farm fabric was the challenge fabric. The star is my first attempt at hand piecing, I saw an antique quilt made with this star. The Tree Everlasting was a baby quit we saw. The applique is the Lancaster Rose. The patches represent the frugal use of material. It is truly a memory quilt of a wonderful trip.
Blue Stars in Winter - This quilt was made using the Stack and Whack technique. The way the fabric is cut creates the different colored star patterns. Each one is different. I used a lighter blue fabric that had various gradations in color and then a white dotted dark blue fabric for the sashings. The outside border the fabric used for the stars.
The Gold Fish Bowl - This quilt was started in a class with Margaret Miller at the National Show in Columbus Ohio 2005. The border has tiny gold fish. The wavy strip border was cut and sewn so the the fish are all swimming the same way. This is the first quilt I quilted with my Nolting Hobby Quilter.
