Lucy

Lucy is completed!  This pretty quilt took no time at all to make.  In fact, after all the curved piecing and ruler drama I have had lately, this quilt was the perfect answer for me.  I put a couple of audio books on the iPod and stitched away happily engrossed in both the books and […]

Spooky Canasta, Quilted

Wow.  Remember this little Schnibbles?  I call it Spooky Canasta.  It is a pattern by Miss Rosie's Quilt Co. that I finished just about a year ago.  My quilter (Mary of Quilt Hollow) just sent me this picture, and I tell you, she transformed this little quilt.  I never cease to be amazed by the imagination […]

Kaleidoscope Quilted

  I am so thrilled with this quilt!  It only has one major problem, and that is that I didn't make it twice as big. It was beautifully quilted by Mary of Quilt Hollow, and I don't think I could be any crazier about how it turned out.  Zoom in if you can and take […]

Out of the Blue Quilt Graveyard…

I know.  Just reflect on that for a moment. When I was reminded that I had made a blue and white Winding Ways quilt awhile back, I decided to see if I could dig it out of the flimsy bin.  Well, bless my heart, it wasn't the only blue quilt waiting to be quilted in […]

Ryan’s Quilt

This is the second quilt I received back from my quilter, Mary Flynn of Quilt Hollow, last week.  I made it for a very special man in my life, and am so pleased with how it turned out.  Mary's quilting is wonderful.  She used a classic design called Baptist Fans, which I think perfectly sets […]

Paganini All Quilted!

Just look at that beautiful quilting!  It was done by Mary Flynn of Quilt Hollow.  She is just the best,and I could not be happier.  In fact, I love it so much I am using a cropped photo of it as my summer blog banner. The pattern is called Paganini by Miss Rosie's Quilt Company.  […]

I Finished It!

Trace, a Little Bites pattern by Miss Rosies' Quilt Company.  I used High Street, a fabric collection by Lily Ashbury for Moda.  It went together fast, and I love the bright cheerful colors for summer. The quilt measures about 22 1/2" square.  I am probably sewing the binding on it as you read this!  I […]

Watermelon Quilt

I have had so many inquiries about my watermelon quilt, partially shown in my blog header.  I made the quilt 10 years ago after a trip to Wisconsin to visit my sister Mary.  The fabrics for the quilt were mostly all purchased on that trip from a couple of quilt shops in Sun Prairie, WI.  […]

August Blooms by Brandywine Designs

Several people have asked about the pattern I used for the August Blooms quilt.  The pattern is in a book called Summer Haven, by Linda Hohag, published by Brandywine Designs. The book was published years ago, but it is still available through the publisher, Brandywine Designs.  I think every pattern in the book is very […]

The Madness, Finished

My half square triangle experiment, now dubbed "The Madness" is finished!  I am quite happy with the results and the person to whom I am gifting the quilt seems to like it as well.  He has named it "The Madness" after his wine label and one of his best selling wines.  I love the name, […]
