Valentine wall hanging

Close-up of the bird applique.

I made this quilt for my husband Chris a few years ago.

Toads in a Puddle

I made this quilt in the 90's from an American Patchwork and Quilting magazine. We faux painted our bedroom walls to match the wine color fabric for a dramatic effect. I pieced and quilted this queen size quilt.

Winterberry Twist

I made this quilt to hang at Christmas. It is from an American Patchwork and Quilting magazine. I used fabric from my stash.

Shortnin' Bread Charm square quilt

The above pillow was made from leftover triangles from the quilt below.

I bought the pattern from a quilt store in Paso Robles last spring (2009). I picked up the charm square packet at another Paso quilt store (my own shop hop!). I finally made the quilt after I bought my new Babylock Espire. I enjoyed trying out new quilting decorative stitches on it.

Hugs and Stitches quilt - Four Square Fun

I drafted the pattern adapted from a picture in a quilt magazine. Both quilts were machine pieced and quilted. The above quilt was quilted on my Flynn frame with an all over meander. The bottom quilt was quilted in the ditch. They were made for Hugs and Stitches (church group).

Quillow

I made this quillow for Chris for Christmas 2009. The quilt inside is 62X72. Pattern is from American Patchwork and Quilting August 2009 Issue 99, "Rhythm and Blues." I substituted burgundy for the blue. Most of the fabric is from my stash. I bought border and backing fabric for the project. The pocket pillow of the quillow is composed of smaller blocks of the ones inside. I used several decorative stitches on my new Babylock Espire to quilt it.
