QUILTS
Hello Quilting world
Judy's Quilt
This is a memory quilt for my sister-in-law Judy Sayre. Her husband Bill had T-shirts from his work as a Deacon and Chaplain, being a husband, father and grandfather, Chicago sports teams and travel. Another 2-sided quilt.
Detail.

Baby Shower Quilt
I made this quilt for my sister Carol to take to a baby shower for a good friend's first grandchild. We knew the child was going to be a girl and that the family liked dogs, so I was able to customize it for her.
Here is the cute print I...
Project Linus - Teen Boy Quilts
I met Susie Holmes, our local Project Linus lead, and she assured me that there is a need for larger quilts for older boys. A light came on in my head when I remembered that stack of blue jeans with unfixable holes that rendered them unwearable. It's...
Project Linus 2
More quilts for Project Linus. I decided to use up my leftover baby quilt squares and added enough to make 2 small quilts.
The girl quilt ( with pink in it ) got this pretty backing:
Then I tackled my strip collection. I had...
Project Linus 3
Finally used up the rest of the tractor print as a backing for a larger quilt with green squares and 2 different vegetable prints.
Another smaller quilt was made with the leftover squares from a sampler quilt. Its backing is blue.
Project Linus 4
Three small quilts with the same pattern, but different blocks. One is appropriate for a boy. The other two have some girly blocks.
Quilt #2 for Carol M
Second quilt for Carol M. So many of these T shirts have a tropical, water or ocean theme that the blue sashing/border seemed just right. And we found a lovely backing.
Project Linus 1
I met a lady at the fabric store who told me about a group that makes blankets and quilts for Project Linus . It meets in my area and I always like to have a quilting project on hand, so I'm making some quilts for children. I can make lots and lots...
Little Houses
I love making scrappy quilts with lots and lots of different fabric. This was a great opportunity - 120 houses with different fabrics for the roof, house and door. The picket fence was not as much fun, but I like the look.
Jackie's Quilt
Jackie Sayre Adair is Becky's sister. Last spring their father died. This is a quilt made for Jackie from some of Bill’s T-shirts. As well as being a loving father, husband, grandfather and Chicago sports fan, Bill was a deacon in the Catholic c...
Becky's Quilt
Becky Sayre is our niece. Last spring her father died. This is a quilt made for Becky from some of Bill's T-shirts. As well as being a loving father, husband, grandfather and Chicago sports fan, Bill was a deacon in the Catholic church so he had...
Quilt for Carol M.
Carol M. is a friend of my sister Carol George. I met her when she drove Carol up to our sister Jean's annual birthday bash in the North Georgia mountains. She said she wanted to have a T-shirt quilt made before she knew what I like doing....
Debbie's Retirement quilt
My friend Debbie retired as a travel agent. ( But she hasn't quit traveling.) She wanted a quilt to remind her of her favorite places. Since she has done some sewing herself, she had collected some lovely destination fabrics, ordered some custom fabrics...
Jean's warm t-shirt quilt
My sister Jean decided she wanted a warm lap quilt with some of her Peachtree Road Race T-shirts and other running T-shirts. And she wanted it to be WARM - it gets cold in the mountains of North Georgia where she lives. This has a snugly flannel...
Shaaron
Another sampler quilt, predominant color green by Shaaron's request. 120 different blocks.
Mrs. Brown's choice Basketweave tumbling Blocks ChristmasTree Palm Spools Leaf Moonover the mountains Double Windmill CrosswordPuzzle ChineseLantern Mosaic...
4th of July
Debbie wanted a 4th of July wall hanging to go between the mantle and the fireplace, specifically with a bell, Uncle Sam and the statue of Liberty. This is safe because she certainly won't be having a fire in July.

Green Kaleidoscope Quilt
This quilt started off as an altar cloth! Too bold. So now it's just a quilt.
Labyrinth
I've admired labyrinth quilts for some time. From certain angles they can look so three dimensional. I liked this pattern because it's a real maze - only one path from one side opening to the other. I bought the pattern off the internet from...
Mr. Bones
I bought this center panel several (many?) years ago and finally got around to doing something with it. Now I need to think of something to do with this!
You don't have to be a forensic pathologist to know what he died of - I quilted...
WCR Winter Games Fundraiser
I belong to The Woman's Club of Raleigh. It contributes to many organizations such as the Salvation Army, Operation Smile, Back Pack Buddies, the Helen Wright Center for Women and more.
I made a table runner and three potholders to donate for the...
Avery Bessler
Avery is the second daughter of our niece Melissa, who requested lavender or purple for the baby quilt.
Big sister Mackenzie got a doll quilt - which is actually a good size for the new baby, but she won't stay little very long. These...
Gary's Granddaughter
My friend Gary finally became a grandmother this year. Seemed only fair for me to make her a baby quilt since I have gotten so much fabric from her. Gary picked out the style, border color and backing for this quilt.
She picked out the backing fabric...
Megan and Matt
When our niece and Goddaughter Megan Sayre married, I wanted to make her a wedding quilt. Megan picked out the pattern and the color scheme. Since she works at Spoonflower, she also designed the backing fabric and had it printed on 108" wide cotton...
Ruthanne and Greg's baby girl
Since the baby was arriving in the springtime, Ruthanne suggested a springtime theme for the quilt with baby animals and critters. Having grown up on the edge of a swamp, Ruthanne is not squeamish about insects - some are quite interesting and...
Quilt in a Box
Jeanne Holland gave me some fabric and a little box labeled "Quilt in a Box" It had the fabric for the top, border and binding for this little quilt. I put it together and offered it back to her. She liked it.
Cinco de Mayo
The patterns for the blocks in this quilt were designed by Karen Stone. Her book is out of print, but the pattern is available from Electric Quilt. Paper piecing makes it simple to get all the points sharp. I really got tired of all the curved seams...
Denise - for baby Matthew Anthony Martin
Denise wanted the 'little squares' that finish up at 1.5 inches, so there are over 700 in here - lots of little fabric pictures, colors, designs, and even textures - some corduroy, velour, ultrasuede, denim and other textured fabrics. Even a few custom...
Chase Graham
My friend Ramona Graham has a very athletic and talented grandson. I was looking for another project to wile away the hours and we came up with the idea of a T-shirt quilt from Chase's athletic shirts and jerseys. Also a few little boy shirts his mother...
Gary's birthday quilt
I keep saying I'm not going to make another queen size quilt, but then I do it again. Gary Preston is a wonderful friend and a great source of fabric scraps. With all this staying-at-home I had plenty of time to make her a commemorative quilt...
Happy birthday Sister Jean
I wanted to make something for my sister Jean's birthday. She doesn't need another quilt. She doesn't have any more space for a wall hanging. She does use place mats, so I thought a festive birthday table runner might be something she'd like....
Basket Weave Quilt
I had not done a basket weave quilt before. When I unearthed a jellyroll of 2" strips I had bought on impulse some time ago, it was time to try. I had just enough lavender fabric left from Laurie's 'Aunt Betty' quilt to use for the background.
These...
Courtney's T-Shirt Quilt
Courtney's mother Gary is a good friend, so when Gary ran out of steam sewing this, I was delighted to have something to work on. Gary and I had already worked out the design. Courtney picked out the front fabric - I liked it so much I bought some...
Eileen's Great-Granddaughter
Eileen liked this style and she liked the happy looking house print I already had on hand with no plans for.

Quilts from 2020
Astronomer quilt
I fell in love with this fabric collection when I first saw it in a catalog. So when I saw it in a local quilt store, I succumbed. This may be the first time I've ever bought a pattern AND the fabric to go with it. As much as I like the fabric, I...
Blue Jane Dear
This is a sampler quilt that started with the Dear Jane quilt book I requested Christmas 2018. When I realized that I didn't like all the blocks in the book, I looked farther and found 120 designs I liked and thought I could fit into 4.5" squares....
Outer Banks Horse Quilt
My friend Carol Rogers has a place in Corolla, on the northern Outer Banks of North Carolina. When our book club has visited her there, we have taken trips to see the wild horses.
Carol said she had a surprise for me - a puzzle quilt that she had...
Cosmos Table Runner
I just fell in love with this fabric from Jason Yenter's In The Beginning collection . ( Available locally from Bernina World of Sewing .)
This is one of the projects. It's about 17 x 48 with black back.
This picture shows a quilting detail....
Blue Table Runner
I had a couple of hundred small blue squares left over from making a blue pieced border for another quilt, so I sewed them together for the center of a table runner. The wide blue border is quilted in a wavy pattern with blue variegated thread....
Christmas Table Runner
This is a simple design that is made more festive by fabrics that glitter and using gold metallic thread for most of the quilting. About 12x 48. The back is the same red fabric as the binding.
Here's a detail that shows fabric and stitching....
Fireworks Table Runner
This started with a red, white, blue and aqua starry fabric and a new quilting magazine with a partially paper pieced Christmas table runner. Evolution took place and we have a 4th of July, Memorial Day, Veterans' Day table runner.
Twilight Zone
A table runner - maybe for Halloween? Based on a quilt pattern I saw in a catalog. I don't think I could sleep under a quilt of this pattern. Most people who saw this said it made them feel dizzy - or worse!
But one of my nephews and his...
Baby Beckett Cornelius
For our niece Christy Cornelius's baby Beckett. The first boy in 2 generations! Christy planned a nursery with wood and animals. So the front has a wood grained border and the back has animals. Lots.
Pinky
This started out to be a baby quilt, but the very name of the pattern makes that questionable. It's definitely a version of "Drunkard's Path". One book called this design "Devil on the Run". Neither is an auspicious name for a baby quilt.
...
Storm at sea
This could go on top of a table or be used as a wall hanging. It's about 24" x 37". Sometimes I see circles in it and the next time I see stars. The colors are pure white, dark blue print and dark blue solid border.
Red, White and Blue Table runner
I plan to donate this to the Woman's Club of Raleigh to sell or auction in a fundraiser. It would be appropriate for the Fourth of July, Memorial Day and Veterans' Day. It's 10" by 40".
Bookshelf Quilt
Bookshelves are quite personal. Sometimes they have photographs and other treasures interspersed with the books. And then there are the books themselves.
This quilt was for my friend Barbara Hocutt's daughter, who is a librarian. And loves Jane...
Sally's Grandson
My cousin Sally's first grandchild was born in early February. I thought that deserved a quilt. Sally was close to our Uncle George so I put some of the material from his shirts into this baby quilt.
Here are some details from the quilt.
Here...
Sally and Jim's Wedding Present
Reid and I went to the wedding in Florida. I tried to think of a table runner that would look good in a Victorian house. Here's a picture of the runner on a green table cloth and than in Sally and Jim's house.
Paragliding Wall Hanging
My cousin Stephany approached me about making this on commission. We had a lot of fun conferring about size, orientation, how many panels, theme, how many paragliders, how many of the multitudinous lines to show. She requested soaring birds. I had...
Laurie's Aunt Betty
I'd heard so much about Aunt Betty from my friend Laurie I felt like I almost knew her. When Aunt Betty died, I offered to make a quilt and Laurie accepted. I hadn't realized that Aunt Betty was a good seamstress herself. Laurie gave me some fabric fr...
Ruthanne and Greg Zimmerman
This is a wedding present for my niece Ruthanne and her husband Greg. She chose the pattern and it sorta grew to king-sized. Quilted in two pieces then assembled. Since it has a lot of black and they have a cat - Vinny - they got a lint roller with it...
Inspiration
Making the quilt for Ruthanne and Greg was so much fun I made a smaller quilt using the same pattern. I have a bin of 2" squares, so I used some of them for this.
Spice Rack
A friend gave me a bunch of 5" squares that must have come from 2 charm packs. They were mostly brown, green, gold and orange - colors I don't use a lot. So I tried to go outside my comfort zone and make something with them. These colors are associated wi...
Sunflowers & Blackbirds
I bought a pattern for this, but changed the leaves to look more realistic. Again, I'm trying to expand my color comfort zone with yellows, blacks & oranges. It was hard to find yellows that showed up well against the off-white background. Some of...
Color Sense
I took a class at Bernina titled "Color Sense" It was a most enjoyable class taught by Annie Smith and I learned a lot. One of the things I learned is that it's OK to march to your own drum. I followed instructions and had as much of the darkest fa...
McKenzie
This long-awaited baby is the first grandchild for Reid's brother Eddie and his wife Cathy. Melissa and Jeff Bessler are her parents.
Melissa is an ECU graduate - can you tell?
Wyatt
Wyatt is the first grandchild of Liza's sister Sally.
The back is a cute alphabet panel. You'll have to click on it to be able to read the letters.
Baby Boy Quilt
This was made on commission for a friend to give as a gift. The nursery theme was animals, so there are lots! Even the back is an animal print.
Can you see the Davidson College logo?
Back print
Baby Girl Quilt
Another commission. This one for a new little girl.
The back has an alphabet panel in lovely colors. I really like the colorful print I found to border the panel.
Mary Helen's Great-Grandson
Mary Helen wanted something different from his sister's baby quilt, so we went with the small squares.
Details
The back is a print that my own boys would have loved.
Sewing Machine Wall Hanging
This is from a pattern I bought. I actually made it without modifying the pattern! It looks good in my sewing area. It was fun to make. I tried some different free-motion stitches in the quilting phase.
37 x 40 inches.
Here's a link to ...
WCR Auction Valentine Quilt
I offered to make a small quilt for a WCR Fundraiser & Julia Carpenter suggested I make a Valentine quilt, so I did. It's a rag quilt with white flannel and red & white prints on the front and ( well washed!) red flannel on the back. The front i...
Doll Quilts
When I make a baby quilt for a 2nd child, I like to make a little quilt for the older sister. Sometimes the new infant uses it too! I made 2 of these for the Woman's Club of Raleigh Make & Bake Sale. Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture af...
Diamond String Quilt
For a long time I've been saving strips of leftover binding, trim from quilt backings and other strips of fabric at least 6 inches long and only a couple of inches wide. This is what some of them turned into. This used up most of the bright strips -...
Mosaic
My friend Rita gave me some batik scraps which got me started on this. It got a little out of hand - I didn't mean for it to be so bright.
I used paper piecing to get all the points and corners sharp. The 3.5 inch squares are set on point. I ...
Rainbow Baby Quilt
A different style of baby quilt - rainbow colors and fabric 'pictures'. Choosing the binding was hard - the binding takes a lot of wear and white is just not practical for a baby qu...
Baby Ellie
My Uncle George's wife Jean asked me to make a baby quilt for her first great-grandchild. Katie, the baby's mother, liked my "Critters in the Woods" quilt. And she and Jean both wanted me to incorporate some fabric from clothing that had been worn b...
Luci's Quilt
My wonderful sister-in-law Jeannie and her friend Carol wanted to have a T-shirt quilt made for their mutual friend Luci. I agreed to do it. They had gathered all the shirts and worked out a design so it was not going to be a surprise. During the co...
Rita's New York Granddaughter
My friend Rita is a fine quilter, so I was very pleased when she said she would like me to make a quilt for her newest grandbaby - her son Adam's first child. She picked out the border color and the backing and the style. I chose lots of little squares t...
T-shirt quilt for Debbie's Niece#2
Another athletic young lady.
Closeups of quilting additions to fill in empty space.
...
Frances' First Grandbaby
My friend Frances Stroup will be a grandmother soon. Frances picked out the squares - all animals. The nursery colors are grey, white and teal and the theme is baby woodland animals. So this backing fabric was a great find.
Denise #6
Denise's 6th grandchild has arrived - the 5th boy! But the first for his parents. One family has baby quilts with little blocks, another has bigger blocks, so Denise asked me to make this one dis...
Melissa and Jeff Wedding Quilt
Our niece Melissa Sayre married Jeff Bessler in October 2017. She's a busy lady and it look a while to get together so she could tell me what kind of quilt she wanted for a wedding present. This one has the colors of her bridesmaids' dresses a...
Striped Triangles II
Well, I followed the directions for Striped Triangles I and ended up with a LOT of leftover triangles. So it seemed logical to use them up in another quilt.
I had bought this blue for the first quilt, but it didn't' contrast enough with all t...
Striped Triangles I
I saw this in one of my quilting magazines and thought I had enough striped material to make my version of it. I did. Note that the stripes go the long way on the triangles in the middle and the short way on the triangles paired with the solid t...
Jackie & Nick Wedding Quilt
Our niece Jackie Sayre married Nick Adair in a beautiful ceremony on St. Patrick's Day 2018. She liked the Kaleidoscope pattern and she likes bright colors, so...
Here's what the quilt looked like spread over our queen size bed and other details, ...
Christmas Plaid
I saw this design in a catalog and thought I'd try it with some of my stash of Christmas fabric. The quilting is very linear except for the snowflakes quilted in the corners. And they are all different, as snowflakes are supposed to be.
The ...
Uncle George 2
I made this quilt for my cousin Jona Hollinshead at the request of his wife Sydney. It is another memorial quilt with my Uncle George Hollinshead's shirts. It had to be a bit bigger than the quilt I made for Uncle George's wife, Jean, since Jona is t...
Denise Grandchild #5
Lucky Denise had another grandbaby. This makes 1 girl and 4 boys, including this new one. This is what she picked for the back of the quilt.
This baby is in Georgia and Denise is in Texas, so I put her picture in the quilt to help the b...
Joe Nicholson's Graduation Quilt
Joe is in Liza's family and he graduated from Leesville High School last spring. This quilt is a rather late graduation present. His mother Sally picked out the shirts to use.
The sashing on the front is a light denim and the back is a woven f...
Ian
Ian is my niece Christina McLeod's 2nd child and my sister Jean's second grandchild. His sister Maddie got the arc quilt, so he needed something special too. There were a lot of farmers in our family, so a farm quilt seemed right.

Patrick Daniels
Patrick is the third child of our lovely and talented niece Kristen and her husband Andy. The front is a medley of prints and the back is a cute alphabet print.
Here's a picture of the new baby on the little quilt I made for his sister Gracie ...
Uncle George
George Hollinshead was my mother's baby brother and my last uncle. He died in June and I made this for his wife Jean. She gave me 12 of his shirts to use in this quilt.
Uncle George was a farmer and loved fishing. We miss him.
Here are so...

When my cousin Gloria's brother Mel died, Mel's minister Randall and his wife Cindy were so kind to Gloria that I wanted to do something for them. Gloria agreed to help pay for the material, so I made 2 little girl quilts for Randall & Cindy's 2 ...
Kayak Rag Quilt
Another item for Carol Roger's Paralympic Kayakers group. Carol said it looks 'architectural' with the layout of the kayaks.
Rag quilts are made with the seams on the front and the seams are clipped to make a fringe. Washing them makes the f...
Norwegian Baby Quilt
It's a Norwegian baby, not a Norwegian quilt. Debbie asked me to make a baby quilt for the occasion of her college roommate's first grandchild, whose parents live in Norway. Since Debbie and her roommate are both world travelers, a map of the world w...
Mel's Ties
My Cousin Mel Bargeron worked for the National Fish Hatchery, loved to fish and loved to eat fish. So it seems fitting to turn his ties into fish for his memorial quilt. The...

My friend Debbie commissioned this quilt for her accomplished niece - sports, travel, languages, and acceptance at the Naval academy.
This shows the lovely blue batik fabric Debbie selecte...
Denise Grandchild #4
Another lucky little grandson for Denise! She wanted a quilt in the same style as his siblings, but a different color.
But this little boy gets a US map instead of an alphabet on the back.
Kayak Sunrise II
Another contribution to Carol Rogers for fundraising for her Paralympic Kayaking Organization.
This is a larger version of the small wall hanging I made for her before.
Mary Helen's Quilt
Mary Helen's Great-granddaughter Kenleigh is the delight of her life. Since Mary Helen is one of my favorite neighbors, it was fun to make a quilt for this little girl. According to Mary Helen, Kenleigh is a very girly little girl and loves pink as...

Thomson's T-Shirt Quilt
Like his dad, my nephew Thomson has run many Peachtree Road Races and several Bike Rides Across Georgia. His quilt also shows he's a grad of Georgia Tech and has played tennis.

Pastel Squares
This started with an old quilt top I got from my cousin Gloria. She's not sure who made it - probably our grandmother or her mother. The fabrics feel like they include some polyester, so it can't have been made much before 1960. More than one pe...
99 Bottles

This was for my sister Carol to give her great-grandson. I really enjoy making baby quilts. 2016
Isn't this fabric great for a little boy?
And here's Liam himself on the quilt.
Fidget II
This is my second Fidget Quilt. I made it for my friend Rita's 96 year old mother. It's meant to go on her lap and has a flannel back to help it stay there. The aids who help care for her say it needs more 'activities' and moving parts. Rit...

Big String Stars
2014
For a couple of years, I've been saving strips trimmed from quilt backs and leftover strips. This quilt from June/July 2014 QUILT magazine looked like a good way to use some up. I didn't like the name - Spring Cleaning. That's like naming a q...
Crosses

Jay and Samantha' Blue-Grey Quilt

Kayak Sunrise
Another contribution to Carol Roger's kayaking organization.
It's a wall hanging, not a full size quilt.
Oriental Quilt

In 2012 we went to Hawaii with Rita and Wayne Rettinger. I bought these beautiful Japanese fabrics at a quilt shop on Kauai. After much searching back here in Raleigh, I found the gold and black batik at Sew Unique. I had to learn to do ...
Peaceful Cottage
2014

Remembering Alice Rose
2014
Alice Rose Landeck Sayre was Reid's stepmother from 1987 to 2014. The whole family loved her. This is a memorial quilt made from some of her clothes for Jane Landeck Finn, Alice Rose's daughter. Alice Rose loved to wear pink and green and...
Starry Night
2014
I love stars, but I don't like too much repetition. So I have gone to the other extreme and made a quilt with all the stars different. Some of the patterns were used more than once, but with different fabric combinations. Most of the st...
Blue Rag Quilt
2013
I think Jean and Bob can use this in their mountain cabin in the winter. Although it has snow flakes & snow men & other snowy prints, it is not a blatantly Christmasy as the red and green rag quilts I have made. Like them, it has 2 ...
Carol's Green Quilt
2013
My sister Carol painted her guest room pale green so I made her a quilt for it. I did a lot of free-motion quilting in this.
Drunkard's Garden Path
2013
The Drunkard's Path pattern has always intrigued me, but I did not relish sewing curved seams. And I wanted my path to be smooth, so I used EQ7 to make a template where the curved piece came exactly halfway up two sides of the square.
Someday I m...
Patriotic Spider Web
2013
I've had lots of red, white and blue remnants, an old sheet, and yards of patriotic print material that Jeannie gave me. She had used it for table cloths at a Fourth of July picnic. This is what came out of it.

Another experiment from a quilting magazine. Noelle Slusser thought it was happy and energetic so I gave it to her. She is usually happy and VERY energetic.
Amy Finn Watkins Memorial Quilt #1
2012
Our niece Amy Finn Watkins was tragically killed in a wreck in 2012. Her mother, Jane Finn, asked if I would make quilts from some of Amy's clothes - one for Amy's husband and one for her. She selected which garments went into which quilts. Thi...
Amy Finn Watkins Memorial Quilt #2
2012
This is the quilt for Amy's mother, Jane Finn. She gave me a free hand in the colors & design, only requesting that it be pretty.
The well-worn GSU sweatshirt was not especially pretty, but it was important to Jane that it be included, s...
Amy Finn Watkins Memorial Quilt #3
2012
There was enough fabric from Amy's clothes to make another quilt. After discussing it with Jane, I made this quilt for Dan, Amy's father.
By the Sea
2012
This is from a pieced paper pattern I bought online. Kayla Stewart invites our bookclub to her beach house every year. Many of the other members had given her things they had made for the beach house - paintings, collages, wall hangings, eve...
Garden Spiders
2012
My niece Ruthanne Bargeron showed me a Spider Web quilt she was working on. It looked like so much fun I wanted to try it. I used some of the background in the web to make the webs look more 'transparent'. And I used an old sheet as the...
Mountain Moods
2012
Jean and Bob moved to the mountains. This is their housewarming present from me. It's the flying geese block, representing a mountain and sky in different seasons and different weather. Lots of borders and a flannel back to make it extra wa...
Uncle Sidney's Ties
Uncle Sidney ( 1908-1997) was a farmer in Georgia. In 2012 my cousin Gloria gave me his ties - probably most of the ties he owned in his life. I washed them and took them apart. I wanted a design that showed the fabric was men's neckties. The ...
Beryl's Quilt
2011
Beryl was very sick. You all know what it's like to want to help someone, even when there is nothing you can do to change the outcome. But I could make a quilt with lots of yellow, Beryl's favorite color, so I did.

Critters in the Woods
2011
A book from the library had some different tree patterns. I have lots of green, so I made some trees. Those blocks lay around for a couple of years until I found Margaret Rolfe's books with paper-pieced animals. I picked some animals nat...
Old Fashioned Santas
2011
I found this block in a book Misty Brazelton loaned me. I like it with the dark red and green fabrics for an old-fashioned look. I considered using beads for the eyes, but there's something very unsettling about beady-eyed Santas. So I e...
Red Rag Quilt
2011
Rag Quilts are fun to make! I liked this one so much I ended up making 3 of them. One for Andrea Gardner, one for Mary Frazier and one to keep. They are 3 layers thick - the bright Christmas fabrics, red flannel, and a white, red and gre...
Shaaron's Christmas Quilt
2011
My friend Shaaron Cypher convinced me she 'needed' a Christmas quilt so I cranked up EQ7 to design one for her.
Tommy's Farm Boys
2011
Aunt Eloise wanted to make a quilt for her grandson Tommy Bargeron. She wanted it to be Farm Boys ( Sunbonnet Sam) like the quilts her own mother made. I had a picture of one of my Grandmother's Farm Boys quilts, so I made a pattern for...
Blue Jeans Quilt
2010
When I found 2 pairs of Matt's jeans in the trash it seemed like a good time to try a blue jeans quilt. Besides those 2 pairs of jeans, I used some other denims and blues from my stash and dark red shirting type fabrics. This is not the...
Jigsaw Quilt
2010
Jim and Judy Dunphy really enjoy jigsaw puzzles, so this was a logical choice for a quilt for them. It is also the first quilt I designed with my Electric Quilt 7 software. I wanted the 'tabs' on the pieces to be tapered like the real thin...
Birds in Cages
2009
Rita Rettinger didn't actually NEED a quilt. She's a quilter herself and has many friends who quilt. Rita is an avid bird watcher and I had wanted to make a quilt with birds in it ever since Aunt Eloise gave me a piece of fabric with birds of...
Charm Quilt #2
2009 I enjoyed making that first charm quilt so much that when Patsy Skinner said she might never make hers because of arthritis, I propositioned her. In exchange for binding a quilt for her, I got her triangles and made this quilt. Each square is...
Christina's Green Quilt
2009
Jean's daughter Christina asked me if she had to bear a child to get a quilt. She wasn't married yet, so I said no, of course not. Her favorite color is green and I have lots of green fabric, so I put this together without having to buy an...
Lacy Quilt
2009
Aunt Eloise had given me a lot of lace. Much of it was too big for doll clothes. So I made a quilted throw for her to use in the nursing home. The lace was sewed down firmly in hopes it would stand up to nursing home laundering for at lea...
Our Grandmother's Garden
2009
I made this for my cousin Claire Cassel Harmon. It's the Kaleidoscope Pattern again, this time in green and floral fabrics. Our grandmother loved flowers and grew lots of them. Claire and I both remember her yard and flower beds and flo...
Ugly Quilt
2009
Some of the fabric I had been given was muddy browns, oranges and plaids - nothing I would have chosen. I was taught not to waste anything, so I thought I would use up some of this fabric and get it out of the way. To my surprise, the lit...
Charm Quilt #1
2008
Sharon Northcutt suggested that Patsy Skinner and Alyce Daws and I all swap triangles of our fabric stash so we would each end up with all these different fabrics and make a charm quilt. My son Matt points out...
Colored Pencils
2008
This was a great "stash buster". I liked a block on a Christmas Quilt I saw at Wish Upon a Quilt ( Raleigh Quilting store). There were strips of red striped fabric cut on the bias to look like candy canes. I got carried away with all sor...
Debbie's Cats
2008
Original design for my friend Debbie Bell in a well-deserved burst of gratitude. She does love cats. The grey and gold and black marbled border would be a good camouflage for the wintry landscape in the background.
I found an appropriately co...
Greg's Manly Quilt
2008
After I made a quilt for his wife Liza, my son Greg seemed to need a quilt too. I used the Attic Windows pattern with blocks in 2 sizes to frame things Greg liked as a boy and teenager.
Some of the blocks are paper pieced. One block...
Leland's Quilt
2008
Leland appreciates quilts - he grew up on a farm near Beulaville, NC. He and his wife Jackie volunteer in a church thrift store and salvaged me some quilting fabric. So I made a quilt for Leland to nap under. I put a double layer of cot...
Little People
2008
I had admired this pattern at Misty Brazelton's house. She was kind enough to find it for me. The children in this quilt always made me think of Reid's sister Jeannie Demart who is a teacher and finds something to love in every child. So ...
Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil
2008
I made this after my father died. Death and Mortality were heavy on my mine and I had all this gothic fabric left from Greg's quilt. It's the Kaleidoscope pattern, modified to extend into the border. Mostly black and white - only some tiny...
Horses
2007
Original design. It took a couple of years to make all the horse blocks, partly because I wasn't sure what I was going to do with them. It was really hard to embroider the manes, pulling the needle through multiple layers...
Sudoku Quilt
2007
I like sudoku puzzles, so when a friend asked me to make a quilt for a fundraiser, I thought it would be interesting to use 9 colors instead of 9 numbers. It has a mitered striped border and SUDOKU stitched along the pink border between the...
Mountain Seasons
2006 Our son Greg and his wife both love the mountains. I wanted to make a quilt for their anniversary present and came up with this design of the mountains in the four season...
Granny's Stars

Bob Bender's T-Shirt Quilt
2013
Jean's husband had dozens of T-shirts from races he had run - about half were Atlanta Peachtree Road Races. No way could I fit 42 T-shirts into one quilt top - it would have been larger than king! So this is the first quilt I have ma...
Christy's T-Shirt Quilt
2009
I'm starting to get the hang of T-shirt quilts. The Partial seams technique is easier & more accurate than sewing inside - or outside - corners in the sashing.
Frances' T-Shirt Quilt
2010
Frances Stroup wanted a T-shirt quilt for her daughter Dana.
This shows the backing and the T-shirts quilted in the border.
Frances liked it.

Lisa's T-Shirt Quilt

For my friend Louise McLeod Chook's daughter Lisa. You can sorta tell what sport Lisa liked in college. And where she went to college.
I liked this green and blue print from Sew Unique for the backing.
I'm getting better at th...
Jeannie's T-Shirt Quilt
2012
Jeannie Sayre DeMart taught at Walnut Grove for several years and collected a lot of school shirts. When she changed schools, she didn't wear those shirts much any more, but she still wanted to remember the school. A T-Shirt quilt was th...
Jonathan DeMart's T-Shirt Quilt
2014
Jonathan's mom Jeannie had saved his favorite shirts so I made a quilt of them. There were hockey pants and other knit shirts as well as T-shirts. Some of the shirts had very large graphics on them, so I used some flying geese blocks to fi...
Susanne's T-Shirt Quilt
Susanne is a daughter of my friend Louise Chook. It's been a few years, but she still had her collage sorority T-shirts and wanted a quilt from them. This time I added a custom appliqued anchor and some patchwork details as filler between the T...
Katie's T-Shirt Quilt
2007
Cathy Sayre wanted her daughter Katie to give up some of her old T-shirts so I agreed to make a quilt. All the T-shirt quilts I had seen had blocks the same size, but the prints on the shirts were all different sizes. It took a while to ...
Matthew Bell's T-Shirt Quilt
2007
Debbie liked Katie's T-shirt quilt so much she wanted me to make one from her son Matt's T-shirts. He had a really nice collection from the trips he had taken with his travel-agent mom and scout activities.

I'm only doing this so I can get the entire list of baby quilts displayed.
Claire Purvis' Quilt
2013
I actually made a baby quilt for Claire, but didn't get it to her and she was already up to 4 years old - now too old for a baby quilt. So I made another one with things that might appeal to an older girl child. The back includes a panel wi...
Jack Purvis' Quilt
2009
I forgot to take a picture of the quilt before I gave it away, but Jack's mother, my cousin Kim Hollinshead Purvis, sent me a picture.
Lilli

Madison's Quilt

Marie's Grandbaby
2010
Although the baby was not born until 2013, I decided to give her this baby girl quilt I had made in 2010. There's a sentimental reason. Like me, my cousin Marie loved our Aunt Eloise dearly. And Aunt Eloise had given me the fabric for the...
Baby Grace Daniels
2012
When we learned our niece Kristen Sayre Daniels was going to have a little girl, I offered to make a baby quilt. Kristen requested lavender.
Baby Gracie seems to like it ( back showing )
Aunt Eloise

Aunt Eloise was amazing. She always enjoyed fabric, sewing and quilting. Although she lived in a nursing home, she managed to collect boxes of fabric for me. Some was new, some remnants, and some looked like cut-up clothing. I'd take ...
Ellie

It was fun to make a quilt for a baby girl! She lives in Seattle, her mother is a trained singer, and her grandmother likes horses & dogs, so I was able to incorporate all ...
Chicago Baby Boy

Baby Travel Quilt

Debbie commissioned me to make a baby quilt for her niece, who is also a travel agent. She had collected some cute travel prints. I had to modify my 1.5 inch squares to get some bigger blocks in. Sorry I did not get a picture of the bac...
Baby Jake Oxley
2007
Our goddaughter Aimee Drott Oxley had a second son. This is his quilt. I am still practicing my free motion quilting in the border.
Baby Ryan VanAken
2013
There is some frustration making baby quilts with 1.5" squares - there are a lot of cute prints that are too big to fit. So I tried using 3" squares with 1" borders. This way I can fudge on the border if the print is a little bigger than 3"...
Baby Girl Quilt
These tiny square quilts are starting to look alike. Individually I hope they are more interesting. I haven't given this one away yet.
Baby Bryce Morse
2006
768 little 1.5" squares for Liza's new nephew.
This shows what kinds of prints I like to use.
Big Bridge Prize
2012
Every summer, Rita Rettinger has a 'Big Bridge' party - up to 9 or 10 tables. Some of us donate prizes. I have won some nice orchids and other prizes, so I made a baby quilt. I've made so many using these little blocks that it doesn't tak...
Baby Jacob VanAken
2011
This is Jacob's daddy Ralph. He really liked the quilt including tractors. His wife Eva has been a family friend since she was a girl. This was a very welcome baby.
The back of the quilt has all the cute forest animals that Ralph wil...
Baby Drew Oxley
2003
Aimee Drott Oxley is our goddaughter, so when Drew was born I wanted to make a quilt for him. Aimee was a math major in college, so this was a quilt for a Math major's son 1 - 12. The ratio 3:4 seems good for a lot of quilt.
Grandbaby Rakouskas
2003
In October 2003 our friends Mike & Elaine Rakouskas became grandparents. This was the third quilt I had made with the 1.5 inch squares, but the first for a girl. I do like pink.
Baby Christina Bender

Baby Jonathan Demart
1983

Now I know it should have had a lot more quilting in it.
Baby Megan Sayre Quilt
1986
Eddie and Cathy Sayre's daughter Megan is not only our niece but also our goddaughter, so she had to get a quilt. I loved paper dolls when I was a girl and I thought of them. I was still sewing some clothing at this point and this design let...
Baby Ruthanne Quilt
1984
My brother Jimmy Bargeron and his wife Dee were both volunteers with the Midway Fire Department, so when their first child was born, it seemed like a logical theme for a baby quilt.
You might think this is unusual for a girl's quilt, b...
Baby Sean Sayre
1980
For our nephew Sean Sayre, born to Reid's proud brother Jack and his wife Barbara. This pattern was from a magazine or book and appliqued with plain old zig-zag stitch. I was still a stay-at-home mom with time for sewing.
Barb Grady's Baby Boy Quilt
This was a crib quilt for either Kevin or Ryan. Made in the late 1970's or very early 1980's. Still using polyester batting and the New Home sewing machine I bought in college. The pattern is "Tumbling Blocks".

Kayak Sunrise
2014
Another kayak piece for Carol Rogers' kayak club fundraiser. This is a wall hanging about 10x14 inches.
When I first put the yellow kayak in, it sure looked like the Jaws poster, so I had to add some details to make it look more like a ...
Cats and Kittens
2014
I did buy a pattern called "Cat and Kitten". But I didn't want my wall hanging to be that big. And cats usually have more than one kitten, so I ended up making several modifications.
I used what I think of as real cat colors and embe...
Eye-Squared
2013
I wanted to show my eye doctor what I use my eyes for, so I made him this little wall hanging with square eyes and semi-realistic iris colors.
Debbie's Doll Quilt

Crossed Kayaks
2013
My friend Carol Rogers is a Paralympic kayaker. I made this wall hanging for one of her fund raisers. It's about 24"x30". I elongated the "Crossed Canoes" block to make kayaks. The white border is quilted with little kayak paddles....
Christmas Wall Hanging
2013
I found this paper-pieced pattern at Wish Upon A Quilt. The only thing I changed this time was adding ribbons and bows to the gift boxes. The tree is highly embellished with metallic thread and sequins.
Christmas Tree
2013
This is about 30 inches square - not quite large enough for a bridge table cover. ( It might be hard to focus on cards lying on this!) I wanted to try this pattern from one of the old quilting magazines Rita gave me. I had enough different red ...
Nativity
2013
This is a paper pieced wall hanging. I found the pattern on the internet and bought it. Took me a couple of years to get around to trying it. It may not be big, but it has hundreds of pieces. Sorta like a jigsaw puzzle. It was so mu...

Jeannie's Quilted Tablecloth
2008
This is not exactly small, but it's certainly not a traditional quilt.
Jeannie made her own kitchen curtains and had some fabric left over. I made a quilted tablecloth for her round table. For batting, I used some white velour I had on...
My Grandmother's Quilts
My father had a quirky sense of humor. Everyone called my mother's mother "Big Mother" ( although she was tiny). So my father taught us to call his mother "Big Fat Mother" ( she was).
Big Fat Mother made quilts. She made them from remnants and p...
Big Fat Mother's Stars
My father had a wild and quirky sense of humor. He taught his children to call their paternal grandmother "Big Fat Mother". She didn't seem to mind. This is the quilt I copied to make the one for our bed. Big Fat Mother must have had a bol...
Dutch Girls
I remember Big Fat Mother calling this pattern "Dutch Girls". This is twin bed sized. It has a lovely pieced back.
My Quilt
This is the quilt my grandmother made for ME. I was thrilled with it. I loved the back too. There are 3 different prints in the back and one of them is a landscape that I used to pore over when I was sick in bed. It seemed perfect for Robert Lou...
Sunbonnet Sam
My brother Jim was born in 1954 and our grandmother made this for him. It's the quilt I copied to make Tommy's Farm Boy quilt.
It is a little strange to use pink on a boy's quilt, but my grandmother was quite frugal. If she had pink material, t...
Tulips
My sister Jean has this quilt. She displayed it hanging on an interior balcony rail. You can see that this is quilted in an arc pattern like the quilt I copied.
This quilt was probably made in the 1950's.
