My Quilt Parade

Finished Size: 89" x 92" This quilt was 13 years in the making - my second oldest UFO.  In 2008, DD was living in Texas when she made this quilt top.  When I visited her in 2009, she asked me to quilt it for her since it was so big and I had a quilting frame. I gladly agreed and brought it back to California with me.  I am happy to say that I FINALLY finished quilting and binding my daughter's Batik Star quilt. I put it aside as I dealt with other priorities.  But as the years flew by, the thought of finishing this quilt kept nagging at me.  It wasn't until 2013 that I ordered the black batting with the sincere intention of getting this quilt finished.  Well, the years kept flying by and before I knew it, we were celebrating the new year of 2021. I used Quilters Dream Poly batting and did an overall design with a light blue color thread.  It took me 6 days to quilt it and then 2 days to bind it. My daughter loves horses and now lives in Kentucky where ...

Finished Size: 42" x 57" I was asked to make this Quilt of Valor by my dear friend Cindy. Her husband is a Vietnam War veteran, and I know she treasures and appreciates the quilts I give her, so I was very happy to oblige. I quilted it with an allover E2E star quilting design from Urban Elementz.  This is my first panel quilt and I was worried the quilting design would detract from the beautiful eagle print.  I used a light blue thread and am happy to see that it blends in beautifully. I used a patriotic print for the backing and also added a sleeve for use as a wall hanging. He was very happy to receive it and said he will always treasure it.  September 2021

  Finished Size:  39" x 49" This Dr. Seuss Warm Wishes quilt is the second charity quilt from a stack of tops I made in February. I used an E2E quilt design called Picket that reminds me of spacemen. The backing is a colorful crayon print and the binding is a red with white polka dot print. September 2021 Donated June 2022
