| Pink
Lemonade - This quilt was created from prototype blocks I made while
designing a Block-of-the-Month quilt. |
 |
 |
Half
Log variation of the Log Cabin block, in a star setting. This was made
with leftovers from a queen sized quilt I made for my niece. |
| This Puss in
the Corner quilt was a class sample for a beginners' quiltmaking class.

The
Rodeo Princess quilt - I drafted this boot block and had a lot of fun
selecting fabrics. The "spur stars" incorporate some foundation
piecing. |
| Cloud
Mine - a soft puff of a flannel quilt, one of the first I sold on eBay
about seven years ago. |
 |
 |
This
Mock Cathedral Windows quilt is interesting to put together. I
had fun selecting flannels for it. |
| I
think this is my all-time favorite baby quilt. It's a Puss in the
Corner scrap quilt (see the apricot quilt above for a coordinated
version) in purples and florals. It has a colorwash look to it, and I
wish I hadn't sold it! |

A
more manly cowboy boot quilt. The border is a wonderful Alexander Henry
cowboy boot print. The Spur Stars on this one are a different pattern,
but they are also foundation pieced. |
| Sailboats!

I
often use this Stepping Stones pattern for my Quiltmaking 101 class.
This one has an Amish appearance. The fabrics were very popular about
15 years ago, and I bought them with the intention of making a bed
quilt for one of my sons. We ended up with a different style for his
room, so I used the fabrics to make this. |
| Dollhouses
is a very fun quilt, made from bright 1 1/2" strips. I have an 18
gallon tote full of 1 1/2" strips, so it was fun to pull out an
assortment for this quilt. The piano keys border makes a nice fence for
the community! |

|
The Lattice
quilt is quick and easy to make. The pattern is provided free
HERE. |
| This
quilt is made by piecing and folding flannel fabrics and sewing them
together by hand. It has no batting, and it is reversible. Very
interesting project! |
 |

|
Another
Alexander Henry print inspired this Teddy Bears' Picnic Log Cabin
quilt. I think of those colors as "ice cream pastels". The
Log
Cabin blocks are arranged in the Barn Raising setting. |
| Flannel
Rag quilt. These were very popular a few years ago, and they are
particularly fun and fuzzy in flannels! |
 |
 |
The
Mosaic quilt was charted on graph paper back before we had computers.
It was very soft and sweet. |
| This
is a reversible Roman Stripe quilt. The front and back pieces are sewn
to a flannel foundation at one time, so there is no quilting
after the top is done. You still have to sew the blocks on one side of
the quilt by hand, however, in the lap quilting technique. |
 |
 |
Snowball Star quilts are fun and easy for
beginners. This very bright one was a baby gift. |
| Birds in the Air is one of my favorite
patterns. This one is very feminine! |
 |
 |
The
Snails Trail quilt in Swedish Blue and Yellow was very appropriate for
my new Swedish cousin. My mother and I made this one together as a gift. |
| Another of my favorite quilts - a Framed
NinePatch in soft peaches and creams. It sparkles. |
 |
 |
The Double Pinwheel quilt was a class
sample. It's a fun technique, from a book
written by Eleanor Burns of Quilt in a Day. |
| Another
variation of the Half Log Cabin quilt, in bright pastels, arranged in
the Fields and Furrows setting. I enjoy making Half Log Cabin blocks
because they are less prone to distortion than the regular Log Cabin
blocks. This is a very cheerful quilt! |
 |
 |
Another novelty fabric inspired this Water
Babies quilt, similar in color and style to the Teddy Bears' Picnic
quilt above. |
| Baby Bow Ties! |
 |
 |
The
Hidden Stars quilt - also seen on other portfolio pages - is a sparkly
low-contrast pattern that I enjoy making. This one was a
special
order for a client who likes periwinkle. |
