Scrap Quilt for Jodi Ray

This is an old school scrap quilt given to my sister-in-law in 2023. 

String quilt for nephew John

Mathew's brother! 

String Quilt for Nephew Mathew!

Finally got it mailed! Another string quilt success. Mathew's quilt. 

Organize, reorganize, wash, rinse, repeat

It seems just a few years since I had to pause and work in my sewing room. Time to assess what works and what does not. A good pressing station has been something I desperately needed. 

Not I have one! I repurposed 6 30" tall shoe organizers, added bed risers to lift it high enough and made a nice top for it.  

Now it is my folding station. 

Mailed!

Yesterday 5 quilts were mailed to their forever homes. 2 string quilts went to my nephews, Mathew and John and a patchwork went to their mom, Jodi in Wyoming. That means everyone in my brother's family now has a quilt.

A baby quilt went to hay springs ne and finally, Blast of Color went to Illinois to Cousin Sue's house. Yippee. I love the lime green binding.  

Round 'em up

This toddler size quilt is headed to western Nebraska for a cutie buckaroo! 

Three yard quilt

I have no idea where this fabric came from but I love it and it is fresh off the long arm.

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.
