“Black, White, and Red All Over” More Red, black and white from an auction purchase in 2022. The strips were started in a split rail design and I added the larger squares for a place to rest from all the business. I quilted it with simple diagonals, 1.5″ apart. I realized that I still had lots of fabric left over and so made another “quilt” for the backing.

“Small Change” This quilt was a Connecting Threads kit. I like their kits because there is sufficient fabric and the instructions are easy to follow. It was partially finished (needed borders) and then for some reason I put it away and discovered a couple months ago and Robin Hill was available to quilt it.

“Playtime” Our small sew group, made Sara H’s first grandchild a scrappy quilt using Brita Nelson’s Disappearing Blocks. New mother selected the colors and the group met to sew, cut and sew again. Jean V had the cute jungle border fabric to pull everything together. 1/4 inch border contained all the busy blocks. An Eric Carle panel was adapted for backing. Nancy W made the label. Linda G quilted it. Fun!

“Cornflowers” Purchased a kit (on sale) because I liked the cornflowers and fabrics. Changed the pattern to reduce width while increasing length. I didn’t add the prairie points because I wanted the quilt flat on the table. My quilting machine was in the shop for much deserved tune-up so used a decorative stitch on my newer machine. The quilt was a birthday gift to a neighbor.

“Party Time” I made these paper pieced blocks and completed the top and quilted it in 2020. I never bound it because I wasn’t happy with the quilting. It sat on a shelf until a few weeks ago when I decided to unstitch the quilting and quilt it again. I had used a monofilament thread to stitch in the ditch the first time. It seemed rough to the touch. I’m happy with the updated result.

“Bees Knees” I made this quilt upon request of my daughter, a science/art teacher who cherishes bees.. I finished the top in the middle of a move, put it in a bag and forgot about it.
This spring I found the bag! In looking for a quilt back, choice in these colors was slim…so I worked through my stash and created an ‘around the world/court house steps’ back. So the quilt is reversible.

“Sunny Rays” This quilt was made to highlight a single line of fabric by Windham Anthology Batiks (i.e. Sparkle & Shine by Natalie Barnes. This fabric will be released in the Fall of 2023. My goal was to use as many of the fabrics as I could from the line. Visit the Resource List for the fun Look Book.
