This
quilt is the top layer on my own bed. It's 94" x 94", inspired by one I
saw on the cover of Better Homes and Gardens Quilts magazine. This is
my American-made quilt, using primarily Cranston/VIP fabrics, in
appreciation of their support for their military reservist employees
and families. My oldest son was in the Army at that time. We have
always had a blue bedroom (see photo below!), but a move to the country
seemed like a good time to change color schemes. I love my red and
white bedroom! |
| This quilt
is made from the Big
Star
pattern from Country Threads. For a year or more, this was the most
popular class at the quilt shop up in northern Wisconsin. We made it in
every conceivable combination of colors and fabrics! This one is soft
and warm in flannels. Plaids and folk prints coordinate to make a
queen-sized quilt. Unfinished quilt top. Can be backed with flannel or
calico. $400 |

This ended
up as a fundraiser quilt for a Chicago-area ministry but I created it
originally as a class sample from the Star
Happy Quilts book by
Judy Martin. My very first quilt book was by Judy Martin - 20 years ago! |
| The
traditional Log Cabin quilt is very contemporary in hundreds of
cheerful scraps set against snowy white. The Fields and
Furrows
setting is particularly striking in this color arrangement. Still a
top, this twin-sized quilt is available for sale. The finished cost is
$300. |

The
Irish Chain quilts are some of my favorites. This is a Double Irish
Chain done in the truest "scrappy" style. Even some of the little 1
1/2" squares are pieced together! The reproduction Depression Era
prints are very cheerful. It was a commissioned quilt top for a bride
in California. She had it machine quilted there. |
| This
Road to Oklahoma quilt was created for my niece in our first Bridal
Quilting Bee. It is a queen-sized quilt, in the fabrics of her choice. |

This
was created as a class sample for an Intermediate Quiltmaking class I
taught about 15 years ago in Washington. The Castle Wall
medallion was a drafting challenge, before the advent of
computer
software! This quilt lived on my bed for many years. It is
one of
my favorites. |
| I
call this one Hidden Stars, because the low contrast of the fabrics
causes the Ohio Star blocks to blend with the NinePatch blocks. It
sparkles! I have made this quilt in several colors. |
