Paddle Boats from "Best of Black Mountain", a Teri Christopherson pattern circa 2002. My six year old grand daughter is holding up this little quilt while I take a picture. She is holding a big piece of French bread in her mouth , which you cannot see, but she had to do something with it […]
It took me awhile, but I did get the final border on my Halloween Bounce quilt top and am sending it off to my amazing quilter this week. Last year was the year of me sending quilts off to be quilted that I intended to gift to family members, but this year I am […]
Sara's Buzz Saw quilt is back from my fabulous quilter already, and is such a pretty, summery quilt. I could not be more pleased with it. The quilting design we chose has daisies and honey bees on it, which fits in with both the quilt block name and the fabric, both of which have a […]
2016 was my year to give quilts away. I gave 14 quilts away to family and friends this Christmas, plus I donated at least a half dozen to worthy causes. Most of my effort this year was focused on sending tops off to be quilted and then sewing the subsequent miles of bindings. I did […]
Isn't this a fun one? And it actually is a Christmas quilt pattern! Coventry by Brenda Riddle from her book "Comfort and Joy". Here is a close up of the fabulous quilting my fabulous quilter does so fabulously: And here is a photo of the quilt before being quilted–enlarge the photo to see the fabric […]
My quilter and I called this quilt "Modern", for lack of a better name. It is an Evelyn Sloppy pattern called Apple Crisp, from her book 40 Rotary Cut Quilts. I have someone very pizzazzy in mind for this quilt. The colors are so amazing, and I think she will love it. The fabric collection is […]
This girly quilt is going to…one of the young women in the family. Big surprise. It is called Hugs and Kisses (a Fig Tree pattern) and is made with various reds from Fig Tree collections. I like the border for this one, with the grey print making a little saw tooth design. And this is […]
In the days leading up to Christmas, I thought it would be fun to share with you the quilts I am giving to my family members. Not all of these quilt tops were pieced in 2016. They were languishing in a box waiting to be quilted. This was the year it happened. Starting this past […]
I can see the end in the distance! I have my fourteen or fifteen gift quilts piled up on the guest room bed, and all but five of them are bound and labeled and ready to give away. I will start taking some pictures and show you all the quilts I am gifting to my […]
This is Metro Hoops, my first Sew Kind of Wonderful pattern made with their curved ruler. I love the results, but it was a struggle getting all those points to line up. I should really try another Sew Kind of Wonderful pattern, but I will have to psych myself up for it. I suggest you […]
