Supermoon




 It's such a joyful bunch of scraps, this quilt makes me
happy just looking at it. 
And I hope the baby girl lucky enough to receive it
grows up feeling the same way.



Cincinnati






This quilt is the story of two lives inter-twined, through the use of color, and phrases, and the dates important events occur in their lives. Places, times, events, all recorded in tiny stitches throughout.

And now, the worst quilt ever designed, can be yours! For the low low price of $23.42!


This delightfully colorful number was given to me by my sister, 
already layered, ready for tying.
I could finish it, or toss it.
I decided to finish it for my adoring audience.
I give to you,
The Worst Quilt Ever Designed!

It is approximately 34x42 inches, cotton poly top and bottom, poly batting.
Kona cotton binding.
(The best part of the quilt, I added it from my stash)
Again, this could be yours for the low low price of $23.42!!!
At this price it won't last long!!!

This is Monkey Wrench


Little monkeys peeking out here and there, with a bunny tucked into her pocket at home where she belongs.

Bubbles, Take Two, Fin


So I don't know why the colors are so, so, vibrant? The bunny is cobalt, but here he looks positively electric. The orange is supposed to be almost tangerine, but this looks again, electric. Anyway, this is one of my favorite quilts. The colors came together so well, they play together so nicely, I almost wanted to keep it for myself. But, it was promised to someone else, and it will be going to a very nice woman and her new baby boy. It's so soft, and cuddly, I'm just going to have to make one for myself!

Bubbles, Take Two


I decided to play around in my scrap piles again,
having had so much fun with Scrappy. 
Blues, greens, and a splash of
orange bring to mind this quilt made
way back in 2008, during the Bejing Olympics.
Having so much fun!

50th Anniversary


This is a queen sized quilt I made many years ago, and it took many years to make.
Little by little it came together. 
Piece by piece the colors blended, from the half inch strips in the center kaleidoscopes, to the 
log cabin blocks around the border.
It was a labor of love.

Scrappy, Continued

I am having so much fun with this quilt!
Using up bits and pieces of fabrics, 
some I haven't see in years.

Scrappy, Work In Progress

Using some scrap strips laying around, trying to organize.
Eventually this will be a lap quilt, intended for a present.

Enson's, Work In Progress


This is a work in progress. Enson's is a men's shop in New Haven, Connecticut. Wonderful Place.
They gave me bags and bags of samples of suiting material and said "Show us what you can do!"
So I'm showing them.
It's all 100% wool or silk samples from their sample books, cut to size, 
and put together in a 5 color plaid, king sized.
The backing is a cute blue and orange bird print, similar to what I'd 
imagine would be the lining in a forward fashion suit.

I will get around to quilting it soon.
