Judy's Quilt

This was a winter scrap quilt rescued by my childhood friend Judy.  I used all of my warm scraps and started sewing them together. I love how this came together.  It is warm and cozy.  If I could pick my favorite colors these would definitely be them.

 

Madeline's Happy Birthday Marvel Quilt.

This quilt was made for Madeline my first great niece!  She knows each movie and character by heart and loves what they stand for.  She spent the whole party wrapped top in her blanket.  I thinks she liked it.

 

Anna Maria Horner's Heart Pattern

This quilt was a labor of love. I ordered the kit thinking I was getting all the hearts cut out. NOT! What I did not realize was that I bought a template to cut out the hearts.  I loved making this quilt!  I made sure I put in all of my favorite pieces of fabric to have them in my life.  I used heat and bond on the back of each one which was really easy once I figured how to use it. Heat and bond made it easier to sew around the heart. I love my heart quilt.  Thank you Anna Maria.

       

 

Melanie's Quilt

This quilt was a challenge. It was made with the intention to be modern and it finally got there. It took me awhile to figure out how to offset the center design and that was what made it gave it the modern vibe.. Once I figured it out it just flew.  This quilt definitely represents the person I gave it to.

 

Becky & Scott's Quilt

Becky & Scott have been using a quilt I made about 15 years ago. It has been patched and re-patched.  So, they put in a request for a new scrap quilt.  This is what I came up with for their new decor in their bedroom.  As I look at it I see how much my fabric tastes have changed.  I think it will make them happy.

Jamieson's Quilt

This T-Shirt quilt cracked me up.  The T-shirts are from my nieces husband's college days as a fraternity brother at Ball State.  They are so clever and raunchy it always took me a minute to catch what they true meaning was in each one.

 

Staci's Quilt

This quilt was made for my life-long friend Staci. She lost her brother unexpectedly and  I thought she needed a little pick me up.  She likes sky blue and I seemed to ignore that request   I'm not sure why that happens. I hope she enjoys her naps underneath this with her beautiful grandkids.

Sherie's Quilt

This quilt was made for my high school friend Sherie.  In the past month she has lost a sibling and a mother.   I thought a little pick me up may be in order for her.  The picture she sent me of her apartment was very calm and peaceful. I'm not sure how this will work with her decor this is what I cam up with for her apartment. I hope it makes her feel better and makes a nap a little more peaceful.

Debbie's Quilt

This quilt was made for my dear wild and crazy high school friend Debbie.  We had many fun times and laughs during our formative years together.  They ranged from learning how to drive and driving our parents cars and going to concerts and probably a little bit of drinking here and there. HA! Her mother passed away and she was so distraught I could feel her pain and as usual a blanket was in the making.  Her colors were red and blue and this is what red and blue looked like to me.  This blanket will be residing in beautiful Austin, Texas.  

 

Joe & Leah Ann

These two blankets were made for my brother Joe and his wife. I made his out of left over wool and flannel.  I made it longer because he is on  the taller side. I'm not sure  what color Leah Ann requested but this is what I ended up with for her.  I really liked all the movement in her blanket.  It is kind of a hippy looking quilt which I think will fit her just fine.

 

Amanda & Matt's Wedding Quilt

This quilt was made for my nephew Matt and his wife Amanda.  Amanda picked out the colors and I made it.  the whole quilt is fadeout of triangles.  It became a challenge as I I started to runout of fabric. So, back to the store I would go and find something that would not fight the other colors.  Now when I look back at it I think it should have made it a heart. I hope they enjoy it!

 

Sallee's T -Shirt Quilts

These two quilts were made for Sallee's two daughters.  Each one represents their timeline. Sallee designed them to go in chronological order.  I love when people design their quilt because it is interesting to see how they organize their T-shirts.  It is also takes the pressure of of me. HA!

Dad's T- Shirts

This quilt was made out of Amanda's dad's T-Shirts.  It was very sentimental to this mans son.  From what I have been told he sleeps with it every night wrapped up as a pillow.  When I hear things like this its warms my heart and makes me feel like what I do has so much relevance in someones life for a long time.
