Queen Bird - This quilt was made in response to my local guild's 2011 challenge. My son's reaction to a zoo peacock inspired the title. Quilted on a domestic machine.
My Valentine - This is a small log cabin quilt that forms a heart with the placement of the log cabin blocks. Although this was pieced several years ago, I only quilted it this Februrary of 2012.
Thimbleberry Blossoms - This was the first time Thimbleberry Club has actually published a pattern representing the Thimbleberry Blossom. I made the top but I only quilted it this year in April 2012.
Spring quilt - This was a quilt completed as a mystery in Cape Girardeau, MO. I believe it was prepared by our quilt shop "The Sewing Basket." I named it Spring quilt due to the spring flowers found in the border fabric.
Bear Tracks - This was one project in a book of Christmas quilt designs by Eleanor Burns. I made a wall hanging from the same book as a gift for my father. It had bear's on it. I used the same fabrics for this quilt to remember his quilt. Basically I would call this a 4 block quilt. Each block is an adapted 9 patch with the half square triangles making the bear's claws on the 4 outer blocks. Then it has two borders around it.
Grandmom's Fruit Bowl - The HST's in this quilt were pieced by some of the 560 participants of the SoTTT exchange. I used the basket block pattern in Edyta Sitar's Friendship Exchange book and designed the layout of the blocks myself. The finished quilt top was then quilted on my longarm sewing machine.
Christmas Windows - This was a block of the month pattern that I completed while living in Portageville, MO. I did not quilt it until February of 2012.
Franks Deer - I made this quilt for my son-in-law for Christmas. It was the first time I've tried raw edge applique. Think I prefer covering those raw edges with stitches. This pattern was a challenge, like putting together a puzzle.
Flowers in Bloom - This was a fun & easy pattern. Love that Sue & Holly give the pattern for the scallopes and also the quilting design that they used.
