QuiltsBy.me

I made this one many years ago for my mother. She died before I finished it. Sigh. I finished it soon after her passing and put it in a box in the basement. Every few years I would take it out and look at it, and it reminded me of her, and her last few weeks. So, back into the box it would go. But this spring I took it out, and the bad memories are gone. It is no longer my mother's quilt. It was just a pretty pink quilt that needed a home. So I gave it away, because pink just isn't for me. Mom would be happy knowing it's no longer hiding in a box. This was made before precuts. All those pinks were bought as yardage and cut individually! How much easier it would have been to buy a few pink charm packs!

Wallhanging (Piece O' Cake )

I had a blank spot on the wall and had this pattern in mind. One day it all came together. I don't like raw edge applique but in this case, it's what I did.

Minky Giraffe

This is such a soft, cute, baby quilt. I had such fun quilting it and I wanted to give it to my grandson for his first birthday. It was a big hit at the birthday party.

G's Quilt

This is the first quilt I ever designed. It was made to celebrate my son and the things he loves! I gave it to him in celebration of him receiving his Eagle Scout award. I hope that it will always remind him that I love him, I appreciate who he is and the man he is becoming! Every block represents an activity or a place he loves. His name, the date, and "Always & Forever -Mom" are quilted into the borders :)

Sweet Sixteen

A Nurse friend of mine wanted a bright pink quilt for her daughters 16th birthday in 3 years (that was a year ago). Ann American Patchwork Mag, came in the mail just at that time and I went crazy with color as usual. The name of the Quilt is Bursting with Blooms by Diane Nagle of Peddlecar Quilts. A lot of FMQ and a little hand quilting the center. Is ready for birthday in a couple of years. Am keeping it as my daughter is to visit in a week and I wanted to show it to her. By the way, when first picking out the material my daughter was totally skeptical and asked "Mom are you sure???" No I was not sure but proceeded at a hi rate of speed so I would stay ahead of the doubts. When the doubts caught up with me I firmly smacked them down and went ahead.

OMG!

Here is a Facebook group called OMG quilts and they make organic modern graphic art quilts that are abstract in design. I have trouble with abstract so decided to make my own version of OMG with the meaning being optimize magnificent girl power. Something we all should do :-) the letters OMG are machine appliqued and the wording is free motion quilted with a thick thread. I had a blast free motion quilting the negative white space with feathers, swirls, lines - whatever suited my fancy.

Cowboy Corral

For my brother's wedding, a friend of his made this wall hanging. I really fell in love with it, so I asked her to mail me the directions. This was my first attempt at doing some applique. It was also my first stippling project. I used various materials from Joann's. I was happy with the way it turned out and now it hangs in my living room.

This quilt was made for a donation for The Hope Center, a service organization that provides food and clothing for needy families in our city. The fundraiser dinner did an auction and the quilt sold for $500.00.

Trade

I went to a quilt retreat where we each made a quilt and then at the retreat we randomly choose a bag with a quilt. This is the quilt that I made for the trade. I added my signature dragonfly's to some of the squares that had solid fabric. I loved the way this quilt turned out. Unfortunately, I did not get a photo of the final project because as usual I was putting this together at the last minute.

Mystery sampler

This was a project set up by a guild member. We were given the amounts of fabric needed and then a block or blocks every month. I wasn't sure what the pattern would be and if I'd like it so I choose fabric from my stash. It is a large quilt and I enjoyed working on the different blocks.

Herky Jerky Kite

Saw this pattern and technique in a Fons and Porter magazine years ago. I made the top, but ended up not liking my backing so I set it aside. This summer I've started trying to finish the UFO's or PUP's finished. I'm finishing up the binding as I write this.

Les Fleurs of Paris

My wife is the queen of Pink and Black and all about Paris. So last Christmas, i new I wanted to make her a queen with a queen quilt. It is filled with mix media, Hand applique, ribbon swirls, fans, just exquisite and a scalloped border. It was bordering my talent threshold, but I did it. She was so shocked she just screamed.

The Pink Poodle Potpouri

We both liked the motown sound in the late 50's, and Cathy is the "Queen" of pink!. So we decided to do a pink poodle applique quilt. We chose "Fat Cats' poodle pattern. As you will see we used black as a accent on a white background. We even called our poodles by name like, GiGi, FiFi, Louis, Bonaparte Maria Antoinette, Paris and on and on. We used simple blanket stitch.
