Oh My!


This scrap quilt is machine pieced and machine quilted.  When is put the squares on the design wall at the quilt retreat the reaction was "Oh, My!" until we balanced the colors a little better.  I keep this for the grand kids when the stay over. It was completed in 2017.

Wine Country



This twin size quilt was made for Keegan to take to college. The quilt is from McCalls Quick Quilts magazine Dec/Jam1917. Machine pieced and machine quilted.  Kameren picked out the pattern for her brother.

Placemats


 Often as Christmas presents, I make placemats  with napkins.


Theses placemats were reversible. I made them from a Dresden Plate tool from Nancy's Notions.

Christmas Wreath Wall Hanging


I made this wall hanging for  Martha and one for Jim as a Christmas present. The pattern is " A Wreath for my Front Door" from the book Quilted for Christmas  by That Patchwork Place.

Color Outside the Lines

This wall hanging I made for my step daughter, Amy, who is an art teacher in Baltimore, Maryland. The pattern was made by Kelli Fannin Quilt designs. I machine pieced it and quilted it with invisible thread. It was finished in 2018.

Grandmother's Fan

This is a queen size quilt that I made from the Big Book of Best Loved Quilt Patterns. Since the quilting is quite ornate I did it on a hoop instead of the quilt frame. The fans are pieced and then appliqued.  I completed it in 2018.

We've gone to Plaid


This quilt pattern was purchased from a Pfaff dealer at the Wisconsin Quilt festival. It is labeled as a Jenland Arts Pattern but I have never been able to find out anything about the company. I finished it in October of 2018 as a gift for my grandson, Russell. The quilt is made of Kona cottons, machine pieced and hand quilted

Dogs in Sweaters


This quilt was completed in November of 2018. It is a pattern by Elizabeth Hartman. I made it for my brother, Michael, and his wife. They have a wire haired dachshund named Buddy. The sweaters are made of flannel. The quilt is machine pieced and hand quilted with an overall pattern of dog bones.

Leaf Quilt


I saw a quilt like this in a catalog but it was for a twin. I made a queen and I used the same size leaves as I did in the Third Weekend in October quilt. I drew them up on graph paper and then arranged them in a scatter plan. It made assembling s little tricky.  I knew Bill and Rejina's bedroom was a peach color so I sent it to them in 2018. It is machine pieced and hand quilted.
