The start of a new baby quilt.

Mother's Day

I spent it the way I wanted to. Newspapers, coffee, danish, Mike, Morty, Mitzi, Krista Tippet.
Wonderful church service, and a Ted's steamed cheeseburger in the back for lunch.
Then I came in and finished the top to the Holiday Bazaar Trinity Quilt. Yeah!

Sneak preview!

Watermelon Quilt

One of my present projects. This is the beginning sketch for the Watermelon Quilt, 164 - 6inch blocks.














These are the fabrics laid out, ready for cutting.















Fabrics are cut into strips, and the assembly of the blocks begins.

It's been a while

since something has been posted. Little projects have been taking too much of my time lately, but I did manage to layer my next queen sized quilt.
I call it "Creation Theory meets Evolution".

Here's a preview.

Chair, Part 2

A regular office chair, torn Naugahyde, rusted legs, transformed. Seat and back are magenta and black faux leopard print fur, trim is chrome yellow polyester. Naturally shed antlers are painted with 2 coats primer, 2 coats latex paint.

Bubbles!

The soothing blues and greens of this quilt ease the Summer heat. The bubbles in the border contrast and soften the hard edged blocks in the center. The quilted circles tie the quilt together. Quilt is %100 cotton, polyester batted, hand appliqued, machine pieced center, hand quilted. Bunny comes out to play. Quilt is 40 x 52 inches, and was donated to my church for use as a fund raiser at the Holiday Bazaar. (Click on quilt to enlarge picture)

And now for something completely different

I go where my flights of fancy take me, and this past week they took me to my co-worker's chair. The seat and back are velvet, the accent is satin, the beads are glass. I can upholster any chair for you in the fabrics you love, with the accents that tickle your fancy. (Click on photos to enlarge)

Adam's Quilt

Adam is a boy with Juvenile Diabetes. He is almost seven years old and has had to deal with this disease for over a year now. This quilt was designed to show what Adam's favorite things are, and will be displayed this week in Orlando, Florida at the Children with Diabetes conference. It will then go on display in Washington, DC, where it will be displayed each year to raise awareness about this illness.

Three Amigos

These three friends were made together to take advantage of scale, and not knowing which the client wanted.

Hanukkah in July

A friend of mine asked if I could make Hanukkah Socks, like the ones he had when he was a boy. I said I'd try.

Here are my versions of Hanukkah Socks, may they hold all the sweets and little gifts your little ones dream of.

Socks are velour, lined, and silver braid or long faux fur decorated. Size is 11 inches long, 5.5 inches wide. They have loops for hanging, and are available for $25 each.
