Hello Quilting world<\/div><\/div>\n

\"Blue\"<\/a><\/div>

Blue<\/a><\/h3>
\nA woman from my Tai Chi class has become a friend. She gave me some fabric - lots of blue - and I used a lot of it in this quilt with a pattern I wanted to try. So this quilt goes to her. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThis shows quilting and the bright blue backing. \n\n\n\n...<\/div><\/div>\n
\"Project<\/a><\/div>

Project Linus Baby Print<\/a><\/h3>
\nI had acquired this nursery print - yellow and blue with cars, trains, airplanes and boats. It was all in pieces not bigger than 20\", so I cut it into blocks and added yellow sashing and border. Actually I made 2 of these. And still have some of...<\/div><\/div>\n
\"Project<\/a><\/div>

Project Linus Horse Quilt<\/a><\/h3>
\nI snagged a lot of horse prints at a Project Linus Give-away. None were more than a yard, but there were several different ones. Some needed to remain in big blocks to be able to see the pattern. This is just channel quilted - long line of quilting...<\/div><\/div>\n

\"Christmas<\/a><\/div>

Christmas Presents<\/a><\/h3>
\nThese were made on commission for friends to give their adult children for Christmas. I've waited until after Christmas to post them so I could not possibly ruin the surprise. Requested colors were pink and lavender and blue and green. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n ...<\/div><\/div>\n
\"Thomson<\/a><\/div>

Thomson and Wi Wedding Quilt<\/a><\/h3>
\nI started sewing squares together for this quilt a few years ago, thinking at the time it could be a present for my nephew Thomson if and when he ever got married. This summer he did marry his long time girlfriend Wi who is a delightful addition to...<\/div><\/div>\n
\"For<\/a><\/div>

For Jeannie<\/a><\/h3>
\nMy sister-in-law-and-heart Jeannie wanted to make some quilts in memory of her dear friend and co-worker Julie. Julie was inspirational as a teacher and also in her fight against cancer. Jeannie had many of the T-shirts that creative Julie had designed...<\/div><\/div>\n
\"More<\/a><\/div>

More Project Linus Quilts<\/a><\/h3>
\n \n\n\n\nI never tried a Disappearing 4 patch before. I chose colors to go with the donated backing fabric. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nPanel quilt. It has a blue and white checked flannel backing, also donated fabric. \n\n\n\n \n<\/div><\/div>\n
\"Red,<\/a><\/div>

Red, White and Blue Quilts for Project Linus<\/a><\/h3>
\nThe idea here was to use fabric and scraps I already have. I did buy some solid dark blue for the backings and binding. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThis one is large. It may be upside down. Not sure it makes any difference. The multi color fleck is sunlight through...<\/div><\/div>\n
\"Scrappy<\/a><\/div>

Scrappy Circles<\/a><\/h3>
\nI liked the motion in this pattern and saw it as a good chance to make a tiny dent in my scraps. It's pretty big - almost bed sized. This quilt ended up with a friend a couple of states away who'd had surgery. Too far away for a visit or a hug, so...<\/div><\/div>\n
\"Baby<\/a><\/div>

Baby Russell Adair<\/a><\/h3>
\nAnother little grand-nephew! Born to our niece Jackie Sayre Adair and her husband. The baby's big sister Gwen gets a doll quilt too. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThe front is lots of little squares with many fabric pictures. I found a very BOY print for the back. \n\n\n\n...<\/div><\/div>\n
\"Trying<\/a><\/div>

Trying to reduce stash<\/a><\/h3>
\nI have quite a collection of fabric, mostly smaller pieces leftover from other projects. Friends have also given me remnants and scraps. I also have some larger pieces that didn't work out for what I originally intended. One of my goals is to use up...<\/div><\/div>\n

\"Blue<\/a><\/div>

Blue Sampler<\/a><\/h3>
\nAnother bed-sized quilt with 120 different 4 1\/2 inch squares. These are fun to make, but hard to quilt. The back is a lovely blue and turquoise blended pattern. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nHere are some details. I took these pictures in sunlight which has made the...<\/div><\/div>\n
\"Judy's<\/a><\/div>

Judy's Quilt<\/a><\/h3>
\nThis 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. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nDetail. \n\n\n\n...<\/div><\/div>\n
\"Baby<\/a><\/div>

Baby Shower Quilt<\/a><\/h3>
\n \n\n\n\nI 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. \n\n\n\nHere is the cute print I...<\/div><\/div>\n
\"Bricks<\/a><\/div>

Bricks - Project Linus<\/a><\/h3>
\nThis is another quilt where the back determined what to do on the front. I got this multi-colored license plate print at a big Project Linus workday last winter. It's flannel and it is large enough for a quilt back for a medium sized boy. I tried...<\/div><\/div>\n
\"Lavender<\/a><\/div>

Lavender Baby Quilt<\/a><\/h3>
\nI made this for my sister-in-law to give her niece at her baby shower for her first child - a little girl. I included a little doll quilt for my own great-niece. The nursery is done in lavender and the niece loves daisies. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThe pattern...<\/div><\/div>\n
\"Pink<\/a><\/div>

Pink Puzzle<\/a><\/h3>
\nMy friend Sandra gave me some fabric to use for a quilt back. Usually I make a quilt, then choose the back. In this case I let the back determine the quilt. Colors had to be pink and green. So I hit my stash. Lots and lots of green and enough pink....<\/div><\/div>\n
\"Project<\/a><\/div>

Project Linus - Teen Boy Quilts<\/a><\/h3>
\nI 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...<\/div><\/div>\n
\"Project<\/a><\/div>

Project Linus 2<\/a><\/h3>
\nMore quilts for Project Linus. I decided to use up my leftover baby quilt squares and added enough to make 2 small quilts. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThe girl quilt ( with pink in it ) got this pretty backing: \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThen I tackled my strip collection. I had...<\/div><\/div>\n
\"Project<\/a><\/div>

Project Linus 3<\/a><\/h3>
\nFinally used up the rest of the tractor print as a backing for a larger quilt with green squares and 2 different vegetable prints. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAnother smaller quilt was made with the leftover squares from a sampler quilt. Its backing is blue. \n\n\n\n \n<\/div><\/div>\n
\"Project<\/a><\/div>

Project Linus 4<\/a><\/h3>
\nThree small quilts with the same pattern, but different blocks. One is appropriate for a boy. The other two have some girly blocks. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n<\/div><\/div>\n
\"Quilt<\/a><\/div>

Quilt #2 for Carol M<\/a><\/h3>
\n \n\n\n\nSecond 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. \n\n\n\n \n<\/div><\/div>\n
\"Project<\/a><\/div>

Project Linus 1<\/a><\/h3>
\nI 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...<\/div><\/div>\n
\"Little<\/a><\/div>

Little Houses<\/a><\/h3>
\nI 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. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n<\/div><\/div>\n
\"Jackie's<\/a><\/div>

Jackie's Quilt<\/a><\/h3>
\n \n\n\n\nJackie Sayre Adair is Becky's sister. Last spring their father died. This is a quilt made for Jackie from some of Bill\u2019s T-shirts. As well as being a loving father, husband, grandfather and Chicago sports fan, Bill was a deacon in the Catholic c...<\/div><\/div>\n

Quilt for Carol M.<\/a><\/h3>
\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nCarol 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....<\/div><\/div>\n
\"Debbie's<\/a><\/div>

Debbie's Retirement quilt<\/a><\/h3>
\nMy 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...<\/div><\/div>\n
\"Jean's<\/a><\/div>

Jean's warm t-shirt quilt<\/a><\/h3>
\n \n\n\n\nMy 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...<\/div><\/div>\n

\"4th<\/a><\/div>

4th of July<\/a><\/h3>
\n 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. \n\n\n\nDetails \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n ...<\/div><\/div>\n
\"Green<\/a><\/div>

Green Kaleidoscope Quilt<\/a><\/h3>
\n \n\n\n\nThis quilt started off as an altar cloth! Too bold. So now it's just a quilt. \n<\/div><\/div>\n

2022<\/a><\/h3>
<\/div><\/div>\n
\"Labyrinth\"<\/a><\/div>

Labyrinth<\/a><\/h3>
\n \n\n\n\nI'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...<\/div><\/div>\n
\"Mr.<\/a><\/div>

Mr. Bones<\/a><\/h3>
\nI 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! \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nYou don't have to be a forensic pathologist to know what he died of - I quilted...<\/div><\/div>\n

\"Gary's<\/a><\/div>

Gary's Granddaughter<\/a><\/h3>
\nMy 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. \n\n\n\nShe picked out the backing fabric...<\/div><\/div>\n
\"Megan<\/a><\/div>

Megan and Matt<\/a><\/h3>
\nWhen 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...<\/div><\/div>\n
\"Ruthanne<\/a><\/div>

Ruthanne and Greg's baby girl<\/a><\/h3>

Quilt in a Box<\/a><\/h3>
\nJeanne 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. \n\n\n\n \n<\/div><\/div>\n

\"Cinco<\/a><\/div>

Cinco de Mayo<\/a><\/h3>
\nThe 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...<\/div><\/div>\n

Denise - for baby Matthew Anthony Martin<\/a><\/h3>
\n 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...<\/div><\/div>\n

Chase Graham<\/a><\/h3>

Gary's birthday quilt<\/a><\/h3>
\n \n\n\n\nI 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...<\/div><\/div>\n
\"Happy<\/a><\/div>

Happy birthday Sister Jean<\/a><\/h3>
\n \n\n\n\nI 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....<\/div><\/div>\n
\"Basket<\/a><\/div>

Basket Weave Quilt<\/a><\/h3>
\nI 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. \n\n\n\nThese...<\/div><\/div>\n

Astronomer quilt<\/a><\/h3>

\"Blue<\/a><\/div>

Blue Jane Dear<\/a><\/h3>
\nThis 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....<\/div><\/div>\n
\"Gwen\"<\/a><\/div>

Gwen<\/a><\/h3>
\nGwen is the first grandchild of Reid's brother Bill. A most welcome baby. This was my gift for a zoom baby shower during the pandemic. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThe back is a soft print with pink. \n<\/div><\/div>\n

Cosmos Table Runner<\/a><\/h3>
\nI just fell in love with this fabric from Jason Yenter's In The Beginning collection . ( Available locally from Bernina World of Sewing .) \n\n\n\nThis is one of the projects. It's about 17 x 48 with black back. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThis picture shows a quilting detail....<\/div><\/div>\n

Blue Table Runner<\/a><\/h3>

\"Christmas<\/a><\/div>

Christmas Table Runner<\/a><\/h3>
\nThis 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. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nHere's a detail that shows fabric and stitching....<\/div><\/div>\n
\"Fireworks<\/a><\/div>

Fireworks Table Runner<\/a><\/h3>

\"Twilight<\/a><\/div>

Twilight Zone<\/a><\/h3>
\n \n\n\n\nA 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! \n\n\n\nBut one of my nephews and his...<\/div><\/div>\n
\"Baby<\/a><\/div>

Baby Beckett Cornelius<\/a><\/h3>
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. \n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n<\/div><\/div>\n
\"Pinky\"<\/a><\/div>

Pinky<\/a><\/h3>
\nThis 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. \n\n\n\n...<\/div><\/div>\n
\"Storm<\/a><\/div>

Storm at sea<\/a><\/h3>
\nThis 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. \n\n\n\n \n<\/div><\/div>\n
\"Red,<\/a><\/div>

Red, White and Blue Table runner<\/a><\/h3>

Sally's Grandson<\/a><\/h3>

Inspiration<\/a><\/h3>
