Oh the Pain!

I have lost the power cord for my sewing machine. She is a vintage beauty, pfaff 1471.  

Good news is that I found cord to fit! 

Coming Attractions

What's next? I think I know and then I change my mind!  

But I would like to get cousin Sue's Color Burst done and mailed. I have decided on green binding. It will be pretty. 

Yet Another Scrappy Quilt

What to do with all the little bits and strips? Make a string quilt. This one is headed to Wyoming and my nephew John Ray. The rain boots is on the back of the quilt. Because John is tall, i made this larger than my normal 60" square quilt. 

Next Up!

Next up is my new favorite saying and it means, next up for my next quilt to long arm. So here it is! 

Orange Disappearing 9 patch

Gracie started this quilt a few years ago. She was drawn to the orange colors in a set of fat quarters.  It was finished with yellow binding and turned out really cute. 

Halloween Throw

This spinning stars quilt has been waiting to be quilted for more than 10 years.  I made a much bigger version and gave it to my #2 grandson, Gage.  

I believe this will end up with another grandchild in 2023. 

Green Batik

This quilt pattern is called "art Deco" by Donna Robinson, Fabric Cafe. It is a 3 yard quilt pattern. These are fast and easy. 

I did some close quilting on it and I'm still working on it. 

You Are My Sunshine

This quilt was the idea of my friend, Debbie, who saw a similiar quilt on pinterest. We both bought the panels and made similiar quilts.  

I used a meandering quilt motif and vibrant fabric for the backlog the quilt. 

Honor Quilt by Villa Rosa

I bought this kit and pattern together and liked the pattern so well I have made it at least 4 times! Finally, the one that started my love of this pattern is now quilted. I used a mint green thread and meandered. It has gray, green and blues, all rather subdued for colors. This gift was gifted to the church's music director, Mary Dodd when she married. 

Rail fence quilt

I have been away from my log arm machine for more than a month and I need the practice before starting on a few other quilts for friends. So I decided this would be the first one to play around on before starting on the stack! Tomorrow ill work on getting it ready for binding. 

Small and Vibrant

While this quilt is about a baby size and only uses 6 fat quarters it is quick to make. I used Kaffe fassett fabrics.  

A Grammie and Gracie Quilt

Grace has decided to make a quilt as a gift for a family member. She needed some inspiration and we found it in a villa rosa pattern for a panel quilt. It is 

turning out cute. 

A new sampler

I have been thinking about making a sampler for a few months.  I'm picking patterns that are old school and classic. This quilt will go a friend and I want it suitable for a guy. The primary colors will be blues and browns. I'm not sure that I love the log cabin but this is what I have completed so far. 

Home Sweet Home

Christmas came on Christmas and new years day.  Today Bea took home a quilt we worked on together and a quilt that is her Christmas gift.  I like to call this a hut house quilt.  It is colorful and fun! 

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.
