Pink and Black

Another quilt for Shriner's Hospital. I made up a pattern 

to fit in the six panels that I got from my local quilt guild. 

This picture does not show the colors very well it 

actually turned out very nice and I hope it cheers up a little

 girl while she is in the hospital. 

This is the back, it will be quilted by a longarm quilter in the guild.

Texas

I made this quilt to send  to Texas for the 

University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center 

online quilt auction.

October 23 - November 6, 2013: Online Quilt Auction

All the proceeds go to the Blanton- Davis Ovarian Cancer Research Program.

Interlock

I made this to donate to Shriner's Hospital, 

a member of our local guild will quilt it on her longarm machine.

The material looks like a solid but it has a small design in it.

I will be making another quilt using this pattern.

Wonky Star

This is my wonky star quilt. I actually made it a year ago 

and put off machine quilting it because I wasn't sure how I

 wanted to do it. I finally pulled it back out and started sewing.

I had to get this material when I saw it. Love those dragonflies!

I finished this with a black and white binding, I like the look of the stripes on the quilt.

Cruzin'

When I bought this bicycle material I had the idea to use just 

solids with it. I had all my colors picked out and sitting in 

my sewing room while I was working on another quilt. 

After looking at the stack of material, I thought a few 

chevrons, polka dots and a black/ white cross hash fabric would 

look great in with the solids so I mixed it up a little. I quilted

 my first circles in this quilt; I was influenced by the wheels and now I 

think I am ready to push myself a little more in my machine quilting.

I really like how this turned out, I will have to wait for someone 

in the family to have a baby boy to give this to.  

Anyone want to make an announcement?

Madrona Road Challenge

The Modern Quilt Guild issued a challenge to all  guild 

members and the St. Louis MQG has taken up the challenge. 

We were given some Madrona Road fabric, 

by Michael Miller with instructions to use only solid colored 

fabric  with it and the project had to have some quilting.

My entry is a quilted baby blanket. 

This will eventually be donated.

Sandi's Tote

I didn't think I would be making another tote so soon but 

my cousin asked if I would make one for her.

She said she liked the darker one I made for Kat and her 

favorite color is green, so this is what I came up with.

I love the retro look of this material and had the thought 

that I may want to keep this and make her another one. 

But I didn't, it's on the way Sandi!

Purple Floral

Another new baby in the family! 

A baby girl!

Her nursery has purple so I went through my stash 

and used almost all the purple I had, then added pieces

 of the backing to add another color into the mix.

I  purchased the backing piece last summer just because

 I loved the colors. It goes very well with the front of the quilt. 

Dragon's

This quilt was made to share a room with this dragon quilt. 

Older brother wanted a quilt for his bed so I made 

him this one using the material I had left.

He loved it and actually jumped up and down when I gave it to him.

He is such a sweet little guy and I am so glad I got to see his reaction. 

It made my day!!!

Parrot Tote

Another tote I made using the Anna Maria Horner, art student tote pattern.

Love the polka dots! Check out all the pockets.

Bow ties

I made these for my son-in-law for Christmas.

He is an English teacher and wears ties to work every day,

 be mentioned that he would like some bow ties so that is what he got. 

My favorite!

His favorite! Also his favorite color.

And brown for those laid back days!

Lion King

This little guy found a new home today. 

He was the inspiration for this baby quilt.

The mix of textures and pattern turned out really well.

I used flannels, cottons and a nice soft fluffy backing with a sateen binding.

It is so soft!

Nursing Home Quilts

I donated five quilts to our local nursing home for their Christmas gift party.

I really like the blue trees in this material.

This one is just a panel so it was really easy to make, but it looks great! 

This quilt was made with strips also very easy 

and then I did some curvy machine quilting.

A little patch work quilt.

This is a cheater, two pieces of flannel with another piece 

sandwiched in the middle. Sewn together and turned inside out 

then top stitched around the edge. It is nice and warm.

Kiki always has to get into the pictures. Ha!

Kat's Tote

I made another tote bag, this one is for Kat. I put a camera on the

 front pocket for her. I got the idea for the camera from One Shabby Chick.

The tote has two outside pockets.

And the inside has pockets all the way around.

Hoot Owls

Here is my wonky owl quilt, this one is heading to

 Washington state for the new baby boy in our family.

I love the owls in this material so I used a large chunk for the backing.

Check out the black spotted binding, it really works great with quilt.

Echino

I made myself an Ipad cover using my Echino fabric, 

I originally saw this on Cindy's blog Hyacinth Quilt Designs she had 

used a tutorial from Faith at Fresh Lemons.

I changed it up a little, I made the top flap 8 inches 

wide instead of 3.5 inches and added a magnet snap in place of Velcro.

I also made a new tote using Echino and Anna Maria's Art Student 

Tote Pattern. It has two zipper pockets on the outside and two sets 

of D rings on the sides you can adjust to make it fit whatever you want.

On the inside there are pockets all the way around. I made one to 

fit my Ipad. I have used this a few times already and really like it.
