Memory Quilts

When a friend asks to turn favorite things into a quilt top as a memory quilt, well you do your best.  These are Ryan's favorite things. 

Toy Soldier Progress

Well the neck is a bit off center but the largest toy soldier is almost ready for the long arm machine. 

2023 Donation Quilts

We are getting an early start on the 2023 donation quilt! Here is a preview.  This started as a softbook with pages that somehow managed to live on my shelves for an unknown time.  I took it apart and turned it into a throw.  I think it will be cute. 

Christmas 2023

I have started the 2023 donation quilt process. I have 1 pillowcase ready and 1 quilt top ready to quilt. 

The quilt top was 4 pillow panels that are now a nice throw.  I try to make them at least 45 x 60. 

So far, so good.  

My New Favorites

Love This Leaf Quilt

I love doing purposeful tught quilting to make the art pop. 

Donation Quilts

My friends who sew together monthly made a stack of quilt tops and I promised to do the quilting. These quilts are donation quilts during the Christmas season. 

They will soon go to their forever home through our local VFW supply drive. 

Christmas on the Prairie Quilt Show 2022

There were 73 quilts on display this year.  Personally, I brought 23. Wow. That's an armload! 

The show is held on the 1st weekend in December and is located in the former Weston Presbyterian Church on the museum gounds.  

Santa's belt buckle

I saw a cute pillow on Ponterest and decided to make it.  Lol.  I used 2.5" squares in various red fabrics and mismeasured my pillow.  I made it way too large. 

At any rate, I managed to pull it together..   Ill make this again!
