A Jacket, A Poncho and a Flannel Shirt

This quilt began with two flannel shirts and a jacket and knit poncho.  The black and white knit is form the poncho. I used the trim of it to trim the edge. The jacket is the purple and it was used to to balance out the flannel shirts.  This was a memory quilt of a friend's parents clothes. I find thee really hard to make because I feel like when the scissors cut the fabric I am tearing a part some one's soul. When its all said and done I am usually very relieved when its completed.

A little closer before it was completed.  Shiny objects are buttons left from the poncho.

Elle's T-Shirt Quilt

This quilt was made for Elle.  It had quilts form all aspects of her life.  I loved making this knowing she was an IU graduate. Go Elle.

Vintage Spin

I fell in live with this quilt the minute I saw it in Kathy Doughty's book Material Obsession.  It was quite a labor of love.  Once I started I could not stop. I was amazed at how many different scraps  I had in my collection. HA! I followed her pattern and used flowers in the middle instead of the back circles she used.  I love having it on my bed and  having people ask about it.  There is plenty to say.
