QuiltsBy.me

This quilt was made especially for a friend struggling with mental illness. The fabric is Batik, created using a centuries old technique allowing for artistic freedom as patterns are applied by actual drawing or stamping, rather than by weaving with thread. Each piece is truly unique with characteristics all it's own. Like Schrader. Browns and Copper represent the Earth, the Blues and Ivory represent water and sky. I wanted to reflect the warmth and power of the sun, the calm and soothing sound of the waves with my free motion quilting designs.

Quatrefoil - New Favorite - Thanks Jenny!

Ooooh, have you tried the Quatrefoil block yet? Watched Jenny's tutorial and used the Free Spirit Nostalgia 10" Squares Daily Deal to make this quilt. Cotton Supreme Solid - Beach House for sashing & background. First attempt at Flange Binding (also a Jenny tutorial!). Love, Love, Love! I need a massage after free-motion quilting this project, but I'm getting better!

Luck of the Irish

From the "Make Your First Quilt" book, (McCall's Best of Quilting), Paradigm Shift Pattern (by Janelle Cedusky). This was an easy (and Fun!) beginner project. The tricky part was laying out the blocks to get the off-center design. A more contemporary design, really fun picking out the black & white fabrics.

Chloe's quilt

Used a jelly roll for the first time. Decided when I was half way through sewing the strips that it would be a lovely quilt for our niece for her 21st Birthday. Only the 2nd time I have completed a quilt using FMQ. Large meander with pebbles in the dividing strips. Quilted using Marti Michell's quilting in sections technique on my small Janome machine. I'm starting to enjoy FMQ.

Clambake

I designed this quilt with two inspirations in mind. The first was Jenny Hayes Double Drunkard's Path template and the second was I just wanted to make a quilt using Nantucket red. I chose the name clambake mainly because I'm a Bing Crosby fan but also because the overall design had a picnic feel. 56" x 70" On an aside, I know I don't make the typical MSQC quilt but one of the reasons I post here is I learned much of the basics of quilting by watching Jenny's tutorials over and over again, and over again in some cases. Thank you MSQC! www.quiltachusetts.com

French Rose

I took a class in my local quilt shop to learn this pattern which I love. Cutting and sewing those roses together takes a while, but the results are rewarding.

Get Well Quilt

This lap quilt was made, for a sick friend in the hospital. I made this from Jenny's pattern Baby block quilt, I enlarged the Star and added two borders to make it lap sized.

Serendipitous Chaos

just put together my first disappearing 4patch. was very interesting and i love the result. but i have to laugh.. i put 4 of them back together backwards compared to all the rest.. - in this experiment i only had a finite number of squares to work with & thought i had a disaster in the making.. then i started sewing the blocks together.. so now i have a lap quilt & a pillow cover.. i call it Serendipitous Chaos... :) the lap quilt (before sashing/binding) is 3 by 5 8inch blocks the goofed up pillow cover is a 15 inch square made of 4 8inch blocks.. not sure what binding will be but am surprisingly happy with the result.

Puppy Paws 1

The flannel fabric with cats and dogs was too cute to pass up when I saw it in a store in the Lancaster PA area a few months ago. I built the design around the dog theme and included the paw print applique blocks. I also included other fabrics with dog related prints - the words on a teal background for the paw prints and a dog bone print used for the binding. In addition to the dog and cat fabric, flannels are also used for the background of the applique blocks and the border.
