Sedona Star - This is the sample of the Buttons and Blooms version of the 2012 TQS BOM. I was lucky enough for Sarah to ask me to make the sample! You've all seen the front, so I decided I'd show you the back!
Purple Holiday - I bought these very colorful holiday fabrics that I wanted to make into a table runner. I searched the internet for free table runner patterns and came across a pattern design by Sue Harvey that I liked and thought it would work well with what I wanted to do with these fabrics.
Old MacDonalds Farm - This quilt was made for my grandson. The blocks are machine embroidered with Old MacDonald Farm designs and the quilt design just adapted itself as the quilt was assembled. He dearly loves this quilt. It washes beautifully too.
The Ugly Quilt! - Blocks were made by individual members of a quilt group. When my husband saw them he asked what I was going to do with those "ugly" things. I started laughing and wondering too. But when I got it all put together and quilted it looked much better and is now one of my favorite quilts. You never know!
Happy Trails - This quilt was made with tee shirts collected when we were traveling. It was fun to make and hangs in our bedroom and reminds us of our travels around the country and world.
Fairies with Attitude - This was started for a different granddaughter in approximately 2002. I finished it and it ended up with a different grandaughter. But still very fitting. The back is minky.
Fancy Lady - Cotton/Poly knit face and body. Wool hair and commercial quilting cotton background. Backing is vintage floral drapery linen. Features painted with copic markers, ink, micron and pastels.
Flower Garden - The top was made in the 1930's by Grandmother Joan McKinney Korte in Tulsa, OK. After I found it in a box in a closet after her death at 95 I finished it with a soft pink backing and hand quilted. A true family treasure.
Tribute to Mom - In tribute to the legacy left by my mother, and for the love of needlework she instilled in my daughter Leah and me, we decided to honour her memory by creating a Family Album quilt using traditionally hand pieced blocks to frame some of her embroidered pieces.
