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!

I made these scrappy quilts from a pattern book from Quilt In A Day, titled “Scrap Quilt: Strips and Spider Webs” by Marcia Lasher.  Strips (or “strings”) are sewn onto muslin squares as the base. This fast, easy pattern is great for using up your scraps.

I visited my DD and grandchildren for Christmas 2008 when they lived in Spring, Texas; and I gave each of them a quilt.  I sure do miss them!
