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 themContinue reading “A Montana Wedding”
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. IContinue reading “Friendship Star Christmas Wreath”
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 layoutContinue reading “Every Which Way”
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 theContinue reading “Right Angle Rainbow”
Argyle Nine Patch Baby Quilt
A sweet friend of mine is, again, a grandmother! She asked me to make a quilt for her new grand daughter, and here it is! This is such a versatile pattern (and about to be for sale on my website!) that any color scheme will look great. The argyle design is a bit of anContinue reading “Argyle Nine Patch Baby Quilt”
My Very Own Quilt Coat
I’ve been watching on Instagram as many a quilter has shared a completed quilt coat, getting more envious by the post. I am not a garment maker – nothing I’ve ever attempted has fit. I tried to make cute little outfits when my kids were little – and they wore those attempts, because, well, IContinue reading “My Very Own Quilt Coat”
“Laughter is the hand of God…” Quilt
Some of my dearest friends recently asked me to make a wall hanging for them, using one of his Presbyterian minister stoles. Many moons ago he was our pastor, and while at our church our families became close. He has recently retired, and now primarily does interim work – so he can spare the stoleContinue reading ““Laughter is the hand of God…” Quilt”
Indigo and Led Zeppelin
My son sent me the indigo dyed fabric in this quilt for my birthday. Oh happy day! The deep indigo color is so vibrant and rich – and from the little bit of dyeing I’ve done myself, I know that a blue like this takes multiple trips into the dye vat, and getting it soContinue reading “Indigo and Led Zeppelin”
Happy 18th!
This is a recent finish – before COVID 19 actually, but I haven’t been able to get to the post office to mail it. I’ve decided to go ahead and blog about it anyway, so my friend can see it, virtually at least. The quilt is for an old college friend’s daughter for her 18thContinue reading “Happy 18th!”
