Two t-shirts by Kelly

 Kelly had the tops pieced, all I needed to do was quilt and bind them for her.

 Since I only have 2 older brothers, I must be both the good Sister and the evil one.  Sometimes at the same time!

 I think she's a fan of Disneyland.  The Snow White shirt below screams my name!

'April In Paris" by me

Officer Tori asked me to make a quilt for her daughter's high school fund raiser.  There were some leftovers, so I stored them for a while.  Finally cut them into squares, then into half square triangles and added some leftover flag fabric that had been sitting around.  Add leftover wool batting in pieces, and quilt it with gold thread and the April In Paris panto (Eiffel towers and loops).  I will drop it off at East Precinct  for her. 

"Bow Ties" by me

 Back in 2016, we were riding "Reach the Beach".  A fund raiser bike ride for the American Lung Association.  (If you'd like to support me for the 2018 ride, please let me know!)  The group of us were riding along, and met up with Michael who was riding his first century ride.  He joined our paceline, and we got to talking throughout the ride.  In 2017, we were getting ready to start out on the same ride, and who should we run into, but Michael!  We're facebook friends, but otherwise, only "once a year friends".  The ones that you only see one time per year.  Michael said that he and his husband planned to get pregnant in the coming year, with their first daughter.  Of course she will need a quilt!

 What better design for this new and growing family than a bow tie block?  Even more fun when I found pink bow tie fabric!

Quilted with a pantograph of bikes since that's how I got to know Michael.   Yes, I'll be seeing him again in May for RTB.  Our once a year friendship continues.

Grey and white with flower applique by Pat

This quilt is HUGE!  90"x103".Made by Pat for a friend.  I love the applique, but nothing I would ever attempt.  Quilted with swirls to match the design in the fabric, and then some additional stitching done on the applique to hold it down.  Fun!

Pineapple blocks by Linda

Linda mentioned that she made this quilt "when I was still teaching".  Not sure of the year, but I did find a few fabrics in this quilt top that are in my stash as well.  I love pink and yellow, it's so soft and feminine.  Perfect for her grand-daughter.
