I have been quilting since 1999 and have decided to keep an online journal of my quilts. In this way, I can document their history and preserve their memory for my family and future generations. Most of my quilts are made as gifts; and with few exceptions, I have taken pictures of my quilts with their recipient. I have also made many charity quilts for Project Linus, Wrapped in Hope and Quilts for Kids.

Please join me for my quilt parade!

My Quilt #53 ~ Bullseye Quilt 2004

Bullseye Quilt 2004

My BQFF Brenda and I saw this sample quilt hanging at our favorite LQS one day in 2003 and decided we each wanted to make one.  We found the pattern in the book “Quilts from Aunt Amy” from That Patchwork Place but didn’t make the quilts until 2004.

I really enjoyed making this quilt but was disappointed when I finished it because it did not lay flat.  You can see from the picture above that it’s a little warped, and I think it’s because the borders and binding do not match the center.  Whatever the reason, I had a love-hate relationship with this quilt.

Brenda enjoyed making her Bullseye quilt so much that she completed TWO quilts.  See how nice and flat her quilt is.  Isn’t that one on her bed gorgeous?




In August 2005, Hurricane Katrina devastated the southeast and left thousands homeless.  I donated my Bullseye quilt to a major effort by an LQS to send quilts to Katrina Survivors.
