"Trip Around the World" by Carol

All made in lovely batiks by Carol, I believe for her sister?

 Quilted with Curly Swirly panto and hot pink thread.  So fun!

"Bow Ties for Bean"

"Bean" if the in utero name of my future great nephew..  (His older sister was known as "Sprout" until she arrived)

We know that he is a boy, and I decided that he needed some Bow Ties.  All the fabrics are hand dyed by me, and that was the most fun!  Taking a plain white fabric and making it come out a completely different color and sometimes with a great print where the dye didn't take.  Not to mention all the gradations in the colors since they are done by hand.  Quilted with a design called "Bean Sprout", because what else could I possibly use?

 

"Big Leaf Panel" by me

 This is just what it looks like.  I panel of fabric, and I bought it about 2020.  On my way to a quilting retreat/lesson.  They were quite popular at the time, and I planned on free motion quilting it.  Currently hanging in the quilt studio, with a plan for a hopeful donation at a future time.

"Cats in Pajamas by Beter

Oh how cute!!  All of the cats are made from flannel fabrics so they are a little fuzzy.  Then the "Pajamas" are made from fabric prints that would resemble patters from kids pajamas.  So there are bicycles, cars and even sharks!

 

For Texas niece by Pat

Carol has made this pattern before, but I don't think she was happy with how this turned out.  However, when she picked it up, she was quite pleased with how the quilting enhanced it. 

 The quilting is called "Chevron Modern", and I am excited to use it again myself.

Officer quilt from me

 A WA state trooper was killed in the line of duty, so this quilt was quickly made to send to her familiy.  I hope that it will provide them some comfort.

2 from Carol to go to Friendly House for a fundraiser

These are actually 2 quilts that Carol made,  Same pattern, many f the same fabrics.  All Christmas fabrics cut into squares and assembled as 9 patch blocks.  Then quilted with an ornament design.  I hope these raise a lot of money for Friendly House

 

3 from me

 

Scrappy Star.  Using up all of those 2" squares that I have in a shoebox next to my sewing machine.  (Using up is a euphemism.  The box just keeps getting higher)

Then made star points out of those fabrics that just don't "fit" into a color category.  Still not enough to make all the stars match, but I think it just continues the scrappy theme.

Nelle is a coworker expecting her first baby in Jan. 2026.  So of course she needs a baby quilt!  Her favorite colors are purple and baby quilt,  Churn Dash blocks paired with Friendship stars and quilted with an E2E called "Vanilla Cream"

And since it is a well known fact that Beth can't count, here are the leftovers from Nelle's quilt, made into a cop quilt.  I had fun playing with the quilting designs on my big "freehand" machine.

"Hunter's Starr" by Kathleen

This lovely quilt is made for a man who is a deep sea fisherman.  Made from blue, grey and bits of green fabrics, which mirror the colors of the Pacific Ocean.

Quilted with en E2E deisgn called "Wood Grain", but chosen because it mimics the waves and swells of the ocean.

 

"Sunflowers" by Janice

Janice also made a lovely purple Irish chain, but I've managed to lose the pictures of it.  Guess you'll have to take my word for it.

This is her Sunflowers quilt, made up of a Sunflowers and yellow fabrics.  So, it was quilted with an edge to edge design of Sunflowers and bright yellow thread.

 

"Shrek" and Wicked" from Michael

"Wicked" which I have never seen.   Too scare by the flying monkeys in the original Wizard of Oz.

Quilted with a poppies design and a grey thread that will blend on all colors.

"Shrek" which I have seen, but only the original.  I do at least recognize the primary character, as well as Princess Fiona and the Donkey

 

"Sea Otter" by Ashley

Ashley is a newish quilter, this is her 4th quilt.  And yet, she's already graduated to paper piecing.  See the shells and the fish blocks in the corners.

She chose heirloom quilting and wool batting as it's a gift for her husband.  Quilted with waves in the body of the quilt, seaweed in the border, and fur in the otter.  Also about 5 different thread colors to match the fabrics.  Love it!

 

Two baby quilts from Gretchen

There is a new baby in Gretchens' family, so of course, quilts!  A camping panel, and a pieced one with a Bee theme.  They are both quilted with the Dizzy Bees panto

 

Two Christmas quilts for Kathy Y

Kathy needs something good in her life, so here are two quilts for her to finish.  The stars was quilted with an ornament design in a gold thread, and the other quilted with a snowflake and houses.  There were many little buttons attached, but I had to remove them before quilting.  Another project for Kathy to work on.

 

"Picket Fence" by Julie

A Christmas gift for Julie's son.  the pattern is called  "Picket Fence" and it is quilted with the "Woodgrain Panto"
