This is the second quilt I've made from this fabric. Fabric is called Etchings by Moda. The quilt pattern is called Harold's Tulip Garden also by Moda. Turned out huge! Easier to quilt now with my 13 foot long arm. It covers my bed better than any quilt I've made so far. Had to used a king sized batting.

Another Lori Holt quilt pattern. This is called Great Granny Quilt. My friend Cynde and I each made this quilt together. I'm giving her my quilt to give to her mother. She is giving her quilt like this to her sister. It took us 6 months to complete. Lots of scraps. Mostly Lori Holt fabric. Scrappy quilts are very fun to make. Choosing the fabrics for each square. I have not even come close to using up my fabric scraps. I am sure I won't live long enough to use them up. Of course, I keep buying more!!

This quilt is called Amaryllis by Laundry Basket Quilts. My friend Julie, since first grade, sent this quilt kit. It will be a wedding gift for her grandchild. It was a difficult quilt. Needed to match all those points which I learned how to do from youtube. It came out pretty rippley but after quilting and washing I think it turned out nicely. Of course, it was a fun project.

Taught granddaughters how to quilt. Used 2 1/2 square bundles I bought in Lancaster. Taught them to hand piece, including the quarter inch seam line and how to join rows nesting the seams. Both girls were successful right away and seemed to enjoy it. They completed all 7 rows in just a few days. I made them a second quilt kit that is just slightly more difficult. Etta is 13 and Wilma is 11. When they stay with me this summer I will teach them to make quilts on the sewing machine.

This quilt is called Sequoia Sampler by Alex Anderson. I watched Alex Anderson's show, Simply Quilts every morning for years. I love this fabric. I have enough left to make another quilt. The fabric is called Etchings. A portion of the proceeds go toward Parkinson's Disease research and care. I felt that maybe this quilt was a bit too busy. But overall I like it.

My trip to Lancaster, Pennsylvania! Amazing quilt stores. No chance of visiting quilt stores around here so this was a great opportunity. Loved seeing all the Amish horse drawn buggies racing through all the traffic, clothes hanging on all the lines, boys and girls on scooters. Everyone dresses the same. Enjoyed visiting with the Amish women in the quilt shops. Several had German or Dutch accents and very friendly. And I bought lots and lots of fabric!!!

A Very large quilt. My new sewing friend Cynde and I each made this quilt. Took us 9 months. We did change the design a bit. We left out the tiny pieces that were in the pattern. This is a Lori Holt pattern called Calico Garden. Used Lori Holt fabrics. She has videos to watch for the construction of each square. Super fun to make.
