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 Quilts #96 - #98 ~ Scrappy Pyramid Quilts 2005

Two more quilt tops that I made as stash busters in early 2005.  I finished quilting and binding these in November 2005 and also took these to Texas with me.  See my previous post here.

Patches of Life

My Uncle Manuel was my mother’s brother, who passed away before his time.  My cousins Manuel, David, and Tony are his sons; and although they lived in Texas and I lived in California, my mother and I would make an annual visit during summer.  I still have fond memories of those visits.  And even though our parents, uncles, and aunts have all passed on and we are now grandparents, we still have those family ties.
