Gma Mac's Quilt

   

This quilt top was made by my Grandma Mac at least 

30 years ago, my mom hand quilted it for me last year 

and I finally got the binding put on. 

Mom did a great job with the hand quilting. Thanks Mom!

I wanted a white binding on the front (I actually used Kona-snow)

but wanted a little color on the back. I went through my mom's 

material and found a brown material with some different colors 

running through it and it is probably 30 years old. I really like how 

it turned out, just enough color and pattern to make it interesting.

This is where the quilt is now, I love the color it adds to my favorite chair.

Sewing Machine Cover

I finally made a sewing machine cover for my machine. 

I have needed one for a while, although some people

 think my machine gets used way to much to need a cover. 

I used some scraps of greens that I had and cut 2 inch squares, 

I sewed them together to make roughly 10" x 13" then 

I  cut out a sewing machine shape on an 8" x 11" sheet of paper 

and used this  for a pattern. This is my first machine applique,

I need more practice but I am happy with the way it turned out.

Cat's

My Mom got this kit to make a quilt for one of my step-sister's. 

I put it together for her. It  is a Laurel Burch fabric. 

It came with two panel's but you didn't get any  instruction's 

to use the second panel. I just used it on the back with some 

of the left over fabric.

Modified Broken Wheel

This quilt was inspired by the Labyrinth Quilt from Red Pepper Quilts.

 I had some red plaid material in my stash and thought this would 

be a great quilt to use the material in. My challenge to myself was to  

use only material I had at home to make a new couch throw for myself.

I do love it!

I also love the the back and plan to use it when ever 

I can while lounging on the sofa.

 I think I like this quilt so much because it is all material I chose (originally) 

just because I liked it not because it needed to match something.

Ahoy Pirates!

Another quilt for the crisis center, pirates for a little boy.

 I just framed out the square of pirate material with some reds, 

blues and black and white that I had in my stash.

For the back of the quilt, I used some black and white check and red polka dot.
