Elmo Quilt

I made this quilt for Hugs and Stitches.  Machine pieced and free-motion quilted.

Glorious Morning

I made this quilt from a kit that was donated to Hugs and Stitches and was not big enough to make a useful quilt for this group.  So I took it home and added fabric and more piecing for a wall quilt.  It is a stained glass technique that I had always wanted to try.  I doubt I will make another of these type quilts, but at least have one under my belt.  The fusible black tape is really expensive and used a couple rolls to make this. 

I named it "Glorious Morning" because it reminded me of Resurrection Sunday.  I put a Bible verse from Job on the back:  I know my redeemer lives.

Claire's Quilt

This quilt was made for Claire Elizabeth Stevenson, born January 3, 2013. 

I made a quilt for her older sister Emma with a tree theme.  Her mom asked for a similar theme quilt for Claire and is my original design. The colors were based upon the classic Winnie the Pooh quilt set. 

Claire is my grand-niece.

Tami, Claire's mom, sent me a picture of her idea for the quilt.
I drew the tree and appliqued it to the background.
The leaves are from fabric from Emma's quilt.
The border fabric was also used in Emma's quilt.
