Sampler

I rarely buy quilting books, patterns, magazines. However, about 15 years ago I bought a multi page sampler pattern. I used the size of the blocks (9 1/2" x 12 1/2") and some of the blocks (Log cabin, 12 patch, tree of life, hearts, stars, bird house and sunflower). I added a few blocks of my own (goose, basket of apples, basket of flowers and checkerboards).

This wall quilt has been made to match my father's chair. I gathered all my navy, beige and maroon fabrics. I have added a thin navy inner border and a wider maroon second border.

I am making a companion piece using leftover fabric pieces.

Traditional Hand Quilting

This twin schoolhouse quilt features 1/8th of a inch quilting around the houses, featured circles and chains.

Scottie Dogs

Reproduction 1930's print dye cuts from Keepsake Quilting. Hand appliqued and hand quilted.

A Piece of Persian Stars

This small portion of Persian Stars shows the background echo quilting. Echo quilting 1/4" apart.

A mini

This is a portion of a series of hand pieced minis done by a wonderful long term customer. Her hand piecing amazes me. The circles are approximately 3 inches each. The green tape was used as a guide for the hand quilting. Echo quilting done every 1/4 inch.

Sailboats II

This is the second in a series of sail boat baby quilts. It has 4 sailboats by 4 sailboats with no border.
For the next one I want to add more water to the design with clam shell quilting lines.
