Jayme's quilt

Passing it on

I cross stitched the as a pillow over 20 years ago and it hung in my first house.  I revamped it for Brannon this last Christmas adding the quilted border.  Then I had it professionally framed at http://www.davincisartandcoffee.com/.

Alyssa's Quilt 2007

So the date is a bit deceiving...the quilt was for Christmas 2007 but didn't get completed until Christmas 2008

Samantha's quilt Christmas 2007

HOT! HOT! HOT!

And no it is NOT like the song. That's just what the weather's been for the last two weeks! I hope I remember all this heat in February when I'll be freezing everything off!

So the heat has kept me indoors more than usual. The good thing about that is I've finished Brannon's blue jean quilt (after 7 years), almost finished Katrina's fairy quilt and a few Christmas presents. Brannon's quilt is about 10' by 10' so it fits his waterbed. And is it every h-e-a-v-y! I'd guess it's close to 10 pounds.

This is Kaylee's quilt.

This is the first quilt I made except for blue jean quilts. I took a quilting class with my friend Karen. I love working with flannels. The material is so soft and reminds me of home. I learned that to get a square quilt you must trim each block so they are all the same size. Sounds simple doesn't it? Well I didn't know that and kept wondering why my quilts were not square. It is so simple once you know that you have to square up each block!

Jordyn's quilt

This is Jordyn's puppy quilt.
I had lots of fun making it. It took me over a year since I am very good at procrastinating. I learned a lot too. Every quilt is a new learning project. When you don't have enough back material I learned to divide it into thirds or quarters and put in a matching fabric that helps create a pattern.
The back has hand drawn puppy paws that I put in Jordyn's name, the date, and who made the quilt.
