I found the black, Japanese language fabric in a thrift store. I wanted to make sure that it did not say anything offense if I used it in a quilt. My pool community and a picture produced the answer I needed. It was safe to use.

Woo Me is 64″ by 74″ and was my first finish of 2023. I have a fondness of reproduction fabrics and enjoyed using a jellyroll to create this quilt. My label is an example of the labels that our talented member Dawn W uses and has instructions for on her blog, First Light Designs. The binding is a faux flange binding, my favorite method.

Shattered and Scattered is my second finish for 2023. Measures 72″ square. This brings my Valentine season collection up to seven quilts.

I made this baby quilt for the daughter of a very special young woman in our lives. I opted for a printed background because a plain left too much open space. The original pattern didn’t have the little circles on top of the giraffes’ horns so I added them using the Applipops circles. I quilted it with a combination of hearts, swirls and pebbles.

I’d always wanted to create a flying geese quilt with graduated colors and sizes. I also wanted a curving uplifting feeling. I designed it and paper pieced it in October, 2015. I was not happy with the placement of the sun and finally in March (2023) I took it apart and moved the sun.

This quilt was made for two challenges. My small MPS group decided to make something with circles. Last month I won fabric at Inspirations which was mostly peach, and I challenged myself to make something from the fabrics.

Quilt is a gift to my college roommate. Sew Kind of Wonderful curve tool make all sorts of fun designs including this sunflower. I loved the backing fabric which was 42 inches wide. Using John Flynn’s Diagonal Quilt Backing formula I was able to do a diagonal cut to get the width needed. Scariest cut ever!! Thank Ruth T for sharing the diagonal cut at Retreat.

Another Birthday Banner for a grandson who enjoys playing Mario. When I play, I am reminded that ‘it’s best to drive on the road’. Thus the very curvy, decorative stitch for the quilting.
