New Year's Kiss quilt pattern by Taylor Krz of Toad and Sew.This is a baby quilt for Jen and Sam Jaffe.  Maya Eloise was born this July, 2025.  Jessi picked the pattern and the fabric.  I really like how it turned out.  

 

Took a trip with daughter Jessi's family in February.  Did this counted cross stitch project as a keepsake.  It was very addictive.  Now I want to do more cross stitch projects.
 

A few years ago I made a quilt for my friend Julie's grandson, Sebastian.  Her grandson Nicolas now old enough to notice said "I want a quilt with my name too!"  Nicolas picked out this novelty print of Pikachu characters.  Hope he likes it........fun to make.
 

 Mercantile Sampler quilt.  Started this June 8, 2024.  Used so many scraps, which is very fun.  Still haven't dented my supply of quilting scraps. I quilted this using my Q24 Bernina Longarm.  First time using the computer quilting.  Not excellent but I'm very happy to have learned how to use the computer element.  I still love the self guided method though. Nice to  have choices.

Daughter Jessi made this felt embroidered wall hanging of my husband and me.  I think she made it when she was in college.  Just found it in my sewing cabinet.  Love it very much!

 

This quilt pattern is called Interwoven.  My daughter-in-law chose the pattern and the fabrics.  Her birthday and Christmas present.  It was a very large quilt.  The fabric colors were beautiful.  Anna colored a graph of the quilt for me to follow.  The graph showed the placement of each color.  An Ombre effect.  Anna said it turned out even prettier than she imagined.  That is a good compliment for me!
 

This pattern is called Lincoln Stars.  Used a moda fabrics fat quarter bundle.  I'm getting better at longarm quilting.  Had fun quilting this one.  
 

 I bought this counted cross stitch kit on my visit to Nova Scotia.  Eastern Seaboard cruise in September, 2022.  Just finished.  It was a bit challenging for me.  Very small stitches and complicated but fun.

Larry Freemantle's Hawaiian shirts.  I made this quilt for his wife Dottie.  Larry wore a Hawaiian shirt every day his last year of teaching.  He and my husband were best teacher friends. My friend Cynde helped by making 5 of the shirts.  Very fun to make.  

 

Applique quilt from The Quiltmaker magazine.  So fun to free motion quilt.  

Here is the back.  Free motion quilting shows up so much more on solid backing.  Not perfect but I will keep practicing!
