Finished the quilt binding last night - really pleased with the colours chosen for the border and binding, I think it makes the minions 'pop' Ready to present to the boss and his wife at the end of next week for their brand new baby boy! Also made a bonus quilt for the big sister - one for her dolly.

Thanks for your service.

This quilt is for our son-in-law to say thanks for his military service. Loved this Layer Cake from Moda "Because of the Brave." I had watched Jenny's tutorial on the Illusions Quilt Block and decided it would be perfect for this project.

Summer Skateboard at the Beach

This quilt was inspired by our recent trip to Maine this summer to attend a family wedding. We stayed at a beach house near Scarborough, Maine. I thought the fabric was appropriate as we indulged in a Lobster feed at the beach house. I used Jenny's skateboard pattern, 10" squares and fabric by the yard. The border print is orange and red lobsters as is the binding. MSQC machine quilted my quilt and I picked a flip-flop design for the quilting. The quilt traveled with us in our vehicle and was used not only in the beach house but also on the beach. This quilt will always help me to remember our amazing trip to Maine!

Canned Veggie Quilt

I made this quilt for my husband for Christmas last year. In the summer we have a rather large vegetable garden and we do a lot of canning at the end of the summer to enjoy the fruits of our labor in the cold winter of South Dakota. I used Jenny's I Spy pattern (quart size jars) but added two borders. The first border is green lettuce and the outside border is red tomatoes. I splurged and used by the yard coordinating fabric for the backing, which is red, green and yellow pepper fabric. I wanted the jars to look like they are sitting on a wooden shelf so I used brown fabric. Also, I think the brown fabric makes the bright colors of the fruits and veggies "pop".

The Subliminally Wonky Sister

This "Wonky Star" quilt top is a gift to my sister Diann. She's been a partner in crime, an adversary and a wonderful Big Sis all rolled into one. To say she's a little wonky is a compliment in our family bc were All a LOT wonky, truth be told. She chose a fabric line called Family Tree for her quilt. We're both thrilled with how this one turned out!!

Sashed Half Hexie

This was a wedding gift. I wanted something cheery because they live in Washington and it's very rainy there. I sent the top and backing to Missouri Star Quilt Co., for quilting they did a fabulous job! I chose music notes for the quilting because both the bride and groom were in marching band in high school. In very happy with the finished product and they loved it!

Last week I put in the Twister pattern done in Red's. It is a template called Twister by CS designs. This week I have another which is done in Black & Gold. I also used my embroidery machine to put a medallion in the center of each fan or pinwheel . I did a sprig of black flowers on the yellow outside border with a butterfly and dove. And finally on the outside border of black I did like a trellis of gold flowers and leaves. I stitched in the ditch also of the pinwheel but missed a few ditches I see. This could fit a twin bed but would be a nice wall hanging too.

Serendipity for Quilts of Valor

This was a pattern I wanted to try for donating to my quilt of valor group. I had a pack of 10" squares and thought I had enough till I got to laying them out. I was short about 12 more squares so I dived into my stash and wanted to accent more of the yellow, blue, and greens for this quilt. The 2 1/2" strips I used were leftover strips from previous projects and also included strips pieces. I did have to cut a few strips from my stash. toward the end In order complete all my squares. For Quilts of Valor the top has to be within certain demensions to be accepted. These colors are also a little less than traditional since I did not stick to the traditional, white, blue and or cream. This quilt measures 60 by 80. I also enjoyed the way little diamonds appear in the blocks as well as the X's and O's with some of the blocks, some of the o's came out with an hourglass design and a few as an envelope block. The bonus from using this pattern is I also have enough squares to do a second quilt with a cute pinwheel.
