wonky quarter log cabins for katrina
Monday, November 9, 2009
This month for Bee Addicted 3, Katrina sent out 2 solids and asked us to make a large quarter log cabin. I have never made a block this large and I have never used solids before. This was a fun challenge for me. I really like the fallish colors of this block and I can't wait to see it all finished.
grammie's apron
Thursday, October 29, 2009
I was recently commissioned by my grandma to recreate one of my great-grandmother's aprons. My grandma was using this one and it fit her perfectly so she wanted several made in other fabrics so that she would have some variety.
This first apron is the original apron. I love it! I can just imagine Grammie wearing it while preparing dinner for her family.
I hope that Grandma likes these aprons as much as I do. I had a lot of fun recreating a family heirloom!wonky stars for brioni
Thursday, October 1, 2009
These are my contribution to Brioni's wonky stars for the month of October in the Bee Addicted 3 quilt group. The background is not as pink as it looks in these pics. I really liked making these blocks and I will definitely have to make a quilt for myself with some wonky stars. I hope she likes them!
wonky houses for becca
Thursday, September 17, 2009
I have joined a virtual quilting bee. Each month one of the members sends fabric and requests what type and size of block that they want. This month Becca sent a variety of bright fabrics and asked for wonky houses. When I saw the fabrics I immediately thought of a farmhouse. I hope she likes them!

sneak peak
Thursday, May 28, 2009
Here is a sample of what I will be doing in Utah. These are all my projects that need to be quilted on the big machine. I have 7 quilts and 4 tablerunners. I just need to get the batting and hopefully I will have time to quilt them all.
fall tablerunner
Tuesday, May 5, 2009
One more for the Spring to Finish challenge. I have had the top for this tablerunner done for about a year, but I just decided to quilt it and be done with it, so I can actually enjoy it this fall. I just quilted 1/4" on each side of the seams. It is not perfect, but I really like how it came out after it was washed and dried.
(Please ignore the dirty patio table in the pics)
floral dolly blankie
Friday, April 24, 2009
Here is another spring to finish project. I pieced and quilted it a couple of months ago, it just needed the binding to be finished. I love all the fabrics in this little whirlygiggle quilt, but wish I had used something with a little more contrast for the background. It looks a little washed out.
christmas tree skirt
Thursday, April 23, 2009
I realize it is only April, but I started this tree skirt last December and I wanted to get it done before Christmas this year. I was inspired by the christmas tree skirt tutorial at crazy mom quilts.
It is my first big attempt at machine quilting on my own machine, there are a lot of puckers, but it is only for me so I am not too upset. It was definitely a learning experience. It is a lot harder than using my mom's quilting machine.
I think I will just save up all my quilting projects and have a quilting day when I go to Utah. This is one of my Spring to Finish projects.

Here is the banner mom requested for Lake Powell. There is another one exactly the same as this one. The triangles are made from 9 different hawaiian prints with another one for the binding/ties. I hope she likes it!winter snowman tablerunner
Tuesday, January 13, 2009
This is a winter tablerunner that I made for myself. It is a little wonky log cabin, I am not sure if I love it. Oh well, at least the top is done, now I just have to figure out what I want to put on the back. I don't have enough of any of the prints from the front so I am not sure what I am going to get.

This is my charity block for project improv. I am excited to see what everyone else is doing. I haven't decided yet what I will do for my own project.something fun i am trying
Tuesday, January 6, 2009
I am going to participate in this project, it sounds like lots of fun and I am excited to try this new style of quilting.
merry christmas!

altered book for heath
Maggie commissioned me to make this book for Heath this year for Christmas. It is really simple, just chipboard covered with Basic Grey scrapbook papers. It has minimal embellishments because it was for a guy. There are way too many pages to take a picture of them all. It is definitely a sit on the table kind of book, there is no way it will close flat!
birthday star tablerunner
This is a tablerunner that I made for mom for Christmas. It is part of a "birthday" set. I also made a birthday banner. It was way too long to take just one picture of it.

halloween aprons
Friday, September 19, 2008
My usual assistant was at school today and I needed to get these pictures up before I gave the aprons away. I apologize for the poor picture quality, but you can get the general idea.
