My daughter, Morgan, loves quilts and using color but doesn’t have the time to sew. She and I designed this quilt using Kaffe fabrics from the auction. This is bigger than I like to work on my machine for quilting but when my daughter asks, I say yes.

“Peaceful Window” I saw this kit and thought it would be perfect to display in the sanctuary of the Cedar Hills UCC where we attend services. It took me a while to finish, but unfortunately it is still appropriate….Kim T "Peace Window"

“Crimson Christmas” I have never made a holiday quilt and really liked this pattern when I saw it on Krista Moser’s blog. I participated in the 5 week quilt along and had lots of fun doing so. Each week for 5 weeks she shared a part of putting this quilt together and her videos were filled with great tips and encouragement for success. I finished it by Christmas and used it as some of my holiday decorations. Quilted by Robin Hill.

This is a pattern from Quiltfolk. It was my first time using a pdf pattern for a garment, which meant lots of taping paper together. I made 5 of these aprons, 4 for Christmas gifts for others and one for myself. They went together beautifully, with all raw edges contained in either French seams or careful design. I am well pleased with the results.

“Wonderful World” “Wonderful World” is the third version of the Ribbon Box quilt pattern I made last year. The 5″ wide strips and clean lines of the design provided a great foil for my Gingham Foundry fabrics which include a text print with the lyrics to the song “What a Wonderful World.” Karlee Sandell quilted this for me using Anne Bright’s “Storm Cloud” motif.

1) Last month at Inspirations I won a bundle of navy prints. I used one of the prints to make a pair of oven mitts using my own tutorial.
2) During my twin sister’s last visit we unearthed a project box containing an almost-done pair of hot pads. I completed them and gave them to her. A tutorial on the hot pads is in the works.

I finally got my “Little Block Christmas Tree” completed. I put a lot of my leftover scraps on the back. And the red and white striped binding really finished it off. I put crystals on all the green part of the tree and on all the red paper piece blocks.

“Stack and Whack Christmas Table Runner” Originally made in 2008 as a Christmas gift for my mother, Rita Rooks. Remade it this year with new batting, different quilting and a new binding.

“Crazy Nine Patch” I made these hot pads for Christmas gifts using food fabrics from my stash. Thanks to Linda G for the pattern. The pictures show the process of putting them together.

These shirts were my Christmas gift to the 4 little and one not so little boys in my life. I check with their parents to determine their interests. Then downloaded files from Esty. They were fun to stitch out and the boys liked them.

“Comfort” Sara H shared this disappearing 9-patch with me. I used 9 inch pieces for the 9 patch block before cutting it. In laying out the quilt, I wanted to give the illustration of a radiating diamond. My husband couldn’t see the diamonds on the design wall. So quilted individual quilting patterns into each diamond – still a little hard to see the diamonds. Fun experiment!

“NICU quilts” I saw this Moda fabric at Ace Sew & Vac and immediately thought of Krista Moser’s diamond tool. Purchased the fabric- later purchased more when it went to the sale rack. The first quilt had two Y sews. The second has no Y sews – my personal challenge.
