I made this quilt for my trainer. She takes amazing care of my horses, as if they were her own. But even beyond her wisdom and love of horses, she has, over the years, become a dear friend. She found my dream horse for me, stood by my side when I had to put one of my babies down, has been a fabulous trainer, and a good friend.

Cozy Cottage Quilt

I saved the pattern for this quilt from The Quilter magazine in 2011. When I was given this fabric as a birthday gift I knew just the quilt I would make.

Made for a friend

4 LIKES | 484 VIEWS

I've made several baby quilts for friends and my own kids. My 82 year old mother loves the color purple and her name is Violette. I used a dark gray plush lap size blanket from Kohl's for the back. She absolutely loves the colors and is super soft and warm! I zig-zagged (in purple of course) around all the seams.

Raining Inspiration

This Falling Charms quilt was made from four April Showers charm packs that I purchased early in my quilting addition, soon after I discovered MSQC and "The Daily Deal!". In fact, looking at my order history, these were the very FIRST purchase I made from the shop! February 24, 2014, I invested in four charm packs with the intention of pairing them with some solid fabric from the stash that my grandmother gave me. I remember that I loved the Falling charms tutorial quilt that I had seen online and took the dive, feeling like I had spent "a lot" of money! LOL! Look at me now, three years later, fully addicted to beautiful fabric, quilting up a storm, and a longarm quilter with a full appreciation of the value of the trade. I worked on this quilt at two separate MSQC retreats in Hamilton Missouri and enjoyed every minute. It is still wrinkled from binding, but finally finished and keeping us cozy! I hope to get some better photos later.

More Stop Than Go

I was inspired by the colors in my Urban Trek quilt and a luggage set designed by Orla Kiely. The original inspiration piece used actual cars. I like the chevron because it looks similar to car from the back and when they are grouped together they look like tire tread. www.quiltachusetts.com

Footsteps

Mom, who walked 5 miles with friends most week days for years, has a grandfather who pulled a handcart from Iowa to Utah in 1856 and descendants who participated as a team in the 2015 Ragnar run. Silhouettes including ones from photographs of her and her descendants are topstitched over "Trip Around the World," "Granny's Garden," and "Jacob's Ladder." Details are embroidered at the bottom.

Celebration!

Years ago our Batts and Pieces quilt group decided to do strip-challenge quilts, each member starting the first strip(s) and then handing it around to other members. We enjoy celebrating each birthday and holiday, so my strips used fabrics suggesting many of those. We used this kind of like a table runner until recently when I decided to add borders of various bright colors. It's fun to remember the friends who added the strips when we use this table cloth (under heavy clear plastic).

How Many Squares?

The Docents at the Fine Arts Center were invited to submit works to a local gallery for an exhibit. Inspired by Jenny Doan's tutorial, I created this way-out-colored quilt with the wide borders inspired by another source. My husband suggested colors for the thinner borders. This was such a fun experience creating this quilt, but the colors don't fit in our home, so if you want it, let me know.

Magical Colorado Family Times quilt

Each year at the Colorado State Fair the Pueblo Sewing Center sponsors a contest with generous cash prizes. With the theme for 2016 of "The Magic of Colorado" I made a quilt capturing favorite family activities and places in our 47 years in the state. It was a trip through memory lane finding and/or taking pictures to use. 3 photos of our family, each in a different decade, were transferred to muslin and included. Others were interpreted in fabrics and edge-stitched onto royal blue over batting squares. Details of each activity and place were back-stitched on red or yellow cross-stitch fabric; 125 novelty buttons were sewn onto the outer borders. This quilt is based on the Colorado Log Cabin Star pattern, with the stars in white around each square. The colors of Colorado's state flag are red, white, blue, and yellow. The quilt didn't win any prizes but is a winner to me because of wonderful memories. [The photo would not load upright, even in the simplified method.]
