Quilts

Over a year ago, I started a scrap quilt. I planned to post more progress photos, but there wasn’t any progress until last week. The basket that housed the started scrap quilt was overflowing with even more scraps. I dumped it and got to work randomly piecing fabrics together to make 13” squares that I […]

Mushroom hunting that is. This quilt was made for the upcoming Fungus Fair. The co-op I am in is helping with the silent and live auction so I made this queen size quilt. I don’t often work that large, but it was a fun project and something I could do when I was worried about […]

In March, I saw emails from Craftsy about a Tula Pink Fox Field fabric mystery quilt. I order the mystery quilt kit and a few charm packs. When I the pattern was released in mid April and I saw the diamonds, I was initially paralyzed; my prior piecing attempts with diamond had not gone well. […]

This is the next holiday quilt for our friends’ year of quilts. 4th of July fabrics featuring owls, all the states and dogs in hats. My husband picked out most of these fabrics. He chooses fabrics that are outside my usual tastes and challenges me to use them. I enjoyed the patchwork while I rested […]

While my eyes were attacked by allergens in late May/early June, I worked on bigger quilts where most mistakes would be hidden by seams. This Star Wars picnic blanket is for my husband. He is very excited to use it when we return from our trip.

As an individual member of the MQG, you can sign up to receive fabric for their challenges. The current challenge used Michael Miller fabrics. You could add other Michael Miller fabrics and solids. I love the part flowers so I created a garden themed wall hanging. It measures 40” square. The back is one of […]

My friends are having their first baby – a girl – any day now. I created this fun top with disappearing nine patch blocks and a bit of cream. In the cream, with yellow thread I stitched ‘hello world’. It is backed with a striped print. And while I was piecing the top, I found […]

Happy Easter! This is the holiday quilt I created for our friends using fabrics my husband picked out. It’s quilted with wavy lines and I added stitched words saying ‘happy hippity hop pity easter bunny’ Today’s question: What is your favorite candy? Me: I can’t pick just one; favorites include Twix, Skittles, Reece’s Pieces

I couldn’t resist this Cori Dantini fabric when I saw it at a local quilt shop. The panels are adorable. I found an earlier fabric lineavailable on Etsy and combined them to have 14 unique panels in 2 sizes. I don’t usually do borders, but the pink and flowers seemed to tie everything together. It’s […]

This is another mostly whole cloth quilt made with fabrics picked out by my husband. It was a gift for our friends. The dogs on the flip side are cute, but the my favorite part is the stitched words I quilted into this. get lucky
