Mike and Same Christmas Quilt

I love the graphic quality of this one!

Might have to try this pattern again.  Lots of impact for such an easy pattern.

Teacher Appreciation Quilt

Our lives are like Quilts, bits and pieces of Joy and Sorrow all stitched together with Love.

Circle Cat

I made this cute little cat bed for my daughters cats.  They love it!  She picked out all the scrap material from Granma Rebecca's scrap bag and I got to use the circle sewer I got for Mothers Day!  All in all a great project.  I moved out of my comfort zone and sewed with some BOLD fabrics and got to make my daughter one happy Cat Kid!  If you look really close you can see cat and dog theme fabrics with some crazy contemporary prints mixed in.

 

Here are Tyler and Otis.  I think I woke them up taking the picture.  I assure you that they LOVE the bed!

Ugly Quilt

Usually I like the quilts I make, but this one was an epic fail.  I ran out of the grey floral fabric and had to use a substitute to finish.  I added a brown border fabric that coordinates with the dark turquoise, and it looks terrible.  I didn't notice until just now, but I put one row in upside down.  This was a difficult quilt with each block containing 25 pieces.   It may be one of the most intense quilts I've made, but I missed the mark on color.  Oh well, I guess, I can't win 'em all.  It will be good to use for machine quilting practice. I used the pattern called Autumn Crown. I love how hers turned out!

 

 

Here is a close up of the Crown of Thorns block.  I was very hopeful at this point.

 

Delft Dots

I love combining all my favorite things in one complete picture, literally.  This is the latest wall-hanging I made.  The flowers and stems are machine applique.  The flower dots are two and three layers.  When I finished I realized that it wasn't quite right, so I got out my watercolors.  I concentrated on the stems and centers of the flower.  I also left the leaves unattached and curved them to add a dimensional effect. I love the look and can't wait to try applique and painting again!

Peaciful Contemporary Green

I started this quilt over a month ago and ran out of material for the border.  I finally bought more, and thankfully the fabric store still had some, and finished it up today.  The pic doesn't show it very well, but the large green square is a gorgeous fabric.  The finished size is 54 x 64.
