Quilts I've Made

I wanted to share a few of my quilts that I've made:

This quilt is one that I made.  It's king sized, used Georgia O'Keefe floral print and has red silk cornerstones.  The split border gave the long arm quilter, Jessica Schick, room to replicate the flowers on the black.

 

 

This one is a queen sized Thimbleberries block of the month club.  I was especially drawn to the border prints that were utilized in the quilt.

 



 

 

This is my Asian Fan Quilt.  Attention was paid to separating the female (fan) prints from the male (base and dark) prints.  The split border was half cotton print and half Yukata Japanese fabric.

 

 

 

Sampler quilt made from a Kansas City Star pattern.  Blocks are both 4" and 10" with yellow background and a burgandy print lattice. 

 

 

 



Old and New

 

 

 

Old and New:  I used the time between Christmas and New Years to finish a couple UFO's.  The below quilt was pieced by my husband's grandmother and then boxed up and put in storage upon her death.  These little quilts were found when cleaning out my mother-in-laws house.  So they were all pieced pre-1975.

 

All of the fabrics are scraps from dresses, aprons or crafts that Grandma made.  Looking at the prints while machine quilting made me recognize how Grandma planned her pieces and arranged each little quilt to be just so. 

 

 

I've been finishing these quilts for my mother-in-laws great grandchildren.  This one is finished with a red flannel ombre backing and binding.  This quilt had a great deal of red pieces in it so it was machine quilted with a red variegated thread.  The recipient is my our grandson.  So Colin is sitting on a quilt pieced by his great-great grandmother and finished by his grandmother.  We've labeled and documented each quilt.

 

 

 

 

He's also modeling the at onsie's that appears on my Etsy shop.  I have little ties for the little guys and lace applique for the little ladies.  Lots of choices and sizes are being added daily.  Check here to see what's available.

Have a great day!
