Welcome to the blog! Here I share more detail about quilts and other projects I’m working on.
Stellar: A New Star Quilt Pattern
A Star Quilt and Half Square Triangles: these are a few of my favorite things! This is Stellar. I love star quilts, and half square triangles both – so this pattern combines them in one quilt! I made mine scrappy. For the color part of the star I used some leftover charm squares, used yardage…
Project Linus Quilts
Online Charity Quilting Bee I belong to an online quilting bee with members from all over the US. We are part of a large group called Do Good Stitches, but divided into smaller groups of 10 called circles. I am part of the Peace Circle and our charity is Project Linus. Which as the name…
A Montana Wedding
Congratulations to my son and new daughter-in-law! They had a charming wedding in Montana this past August. It rained right before the ceremony, but happily that cooled things down considerably and for their first dance they had this beautiful double rainbow above them! It was spectacular. Quilter that I am, I wanted to make them…
Friendship Star Christmas Wreath
My first attempt at a Christmas wallhanging! The friendship star is one of my favorite blocks, so I decided to start with that. And a scrap quilt is always a favorite! This little wallhanging measures 30″ x 30″ so it’s not too big to easily find a place to hang it this holiday season. I…
Every Which Way
Is it conceited to say I love these quilts? I don’t mean they’re the best quilts ever, but I so love flying geese and I so love bold colors set off with white, that these little baby quilts check all my boxes haha. The quilt would look great with so many colors and the layout…
Right Angle Rainbow
I’m really excited about this quilt – it has all my favorite things! Scraps and color! And lots of them! I was inspired to make this when my son graduated from law school – got to me thinking about courthouses, so naturally the courthouse block came to mind. This version of Courthouse Steps uses the…
“Cats” Courthouse Steps
I made this wall hanging for my son to hang in his new office. He just graduated from law school and has started a judicial clerkship. After all the years of being a student – finally a real job he’s interested in and pays more than sub minimum wage! Yay adulthood 🙂 I called it…
Quilt Vests!
After making a quilt jacket for myself and one for my mother, both my husband and my son asked me to make them one too! So I took the same pattern from Patchwork and Poodles and modified it to make them each a vest. Keep in mind, I am not a garment seamstress at all.…
Red, White, and Black Argyle
I recently made my Argyle Nine Patch baby quilt pattern, in a different color way, for a young man I’ve known for over 25 years. What fun it is to see a little boy you knew back in kindergarten grow up, get married and start a family – the circle of life and all that!…
Irish River
My most recent pattern is called Irish River – because it’s a single Irish chain quilt and the pattern of greens and blues reminds me of a river winding through the countryside. We visited Ireland years ago and I’ve never forgotten how beautiful the greens are there! I made this one for my son and…
