Dragons for Masha's 11 yo grandson

This is so perfect for an 11yo boy. Quilted with a star design and turquoise thread. I had to laugh when I remembered that Carol used one of the dragon squares in her Hot stuff quilt.

Cat panel by Michael

Michael asked me to quilt this cat panel with a pawprints design. I believe that he will be making it into a bag and then donating the proceeds to the Humane Society. Nice job Michael!

Carol's 2 most recent finishes

First, we have a Christmas gift for Carol's mom. A small wall hanging to go in her home.

I believe that this is Carol's 4 DWR quilt that she has made and given away to very luck couples for a wedding gift. Heirloom quilted with freehand feathers in the background, continuous curves in the pink and green rings with matching thread.

This quilt was on my machine for one month 1 month less 1 day. But, I think worth the wait!

"Hot Stuff" by Carol M.

Carol makes these great theme quilts where she chooses a theme, and then finds fabric to match. In this case, it's Hot Stuff, so peppers, dragons, flames, hot sauce, you name it.

Quilted with a design of Flames, what else? And hot orange thread. This will be a fund raiser for Friendly House

Kimono Quilt by Pat

This glorious quilt is made from silks from Kimonos. In order to get the full effect of the fabrics, Pat left the pieces very large. Quilted with a panto called Asian Blossom and using wool batt for extra warmth and loft.

"Batik Sea Life" by Cindy

Funny how you meet new people. Cindy's son in law Jon, approached me about quilting a quilt of his, and then recommended me to Cindy. She brought me this one that she had completed before but with her own Alpaca wool batting. Sadly, this was too warm for the recipient, and Cindy took it apart.

Now it's finished again with new cotton batting and a new backing since the original wasn't large enough. The appliques are done raw edge, so quilted over them.

Perfect quilting design called "Sea Shells"

Michael's Druid Nutcracker

Another stunner from Michael. I love the colors in this guy! So woodsy and quilted with a panto called "natural music".

"Nightmare Before Christmas" by Michael

Michael tells me that he found this fleece and thought he bought 2 yards. He bought 4! And kindly gifted half of it to me!

Quilted with a Jack Skeleton design (of course) and no batting. Just fleece and cotton backing

Difficult to see, but the bobbin thread is bright gold so it shows more

"Keys" by Leigh

Leigh found these vintage style keys and incorporated them into her quilt top. All cotton fabrics, hand appliqued circles with embroidery to accent the keys. I used several different sizes of circle rulers for the quilting. Great fun to work on, as always

"Sewing Hands" by Ellen

This is a very simple quilt, but very effective. All cut from the same size of squares, then pieced together into squares and rectangles.

Quilted with a digital design called "Daisy Tile". The Sewing Hands title comes from the hands holding needle and thread print for the backing.

"T-Block" by Janice

Janice says that she makes quilt tops to keep herself occupied, and lucky me, I get to quilt them. This one I call "T-Blocks" for obvious reasons. Quilted with variegated thread and a paper panto called "Vanilla Cream".

"Links of Love" for Maddy and Dan

When your sweet niece finds her "Mr. Wonderful" of course you make them a wedding quilt. Maddy asked for the colors "Pink, purple and yellow", so here we are. All of the fabrics started out as white, and where hand dyed by me to match her color request. It's also king sized, so HUGE!

Because the dye doesn't absorb on the white designs of white on white prints, you get a pattern that shows through the dye. Not to mention how much fun I had dying the fabric and making the quilt!

"The Merging of Two Souls" by me for Cody

Cody is my "nephew in law", married to my niece Katie. Cody's brother got married in April 2026, and Cody asked if I would be willing to make them a quilt for him to give to them as a wedding gift. Of course the answer was an enthusiastic "Yes!" Cody and I met at the fabric store, I had a few quilt patterns with me for him to look through, and he chose a Trip Around the World pattern. Then he chose all of the fabrics representing things that are important to Cody's brother and his bride. So we have water, sailing, dogs and music to name a few. Last step was for Cody to decide what the label should say and that's where the name comes from.
