Quilts

Love and Happiness (44” x 44”) When I was making the Joy quilt, I second guessed the bright colors and pieced a second top. I consulted my husband as to which to finish and give to his grandmother who loved the bright colors and patterns in her quilt. I didn’t want the other top be […]

Joy (49” x 49”) I small quilt to celebrate a birthday. I used a Flora charm pack, a few fat quarters and a some Kona in bone. I quilted it in concentric squares and then with teal thread stitched the words joy, laughter, happiness and family along two sides.
