This quilt pattern is called Flag It by Dorothy Ann Weld found in the Fons and Porter Magazine.  It was made with my darker scraps............I love black.  The outer border is pieced.  Straight line machine quilting, which is not very fun but seemed a better fit for this quilt.  

Heart Blossoms by Thimbleberries.  You can't tell but the fabric has gold outlines around the berries.

Moda collection "Let it Glow" made in Japan.  A gift for our dear friends, Janet and Tom.

Here is darling Olivia snuggling with the Hawaiian quilt pattern pillow I made for her parents years go.  Very fun pattern to work on........hand quilting but using only two colors is not my favorite  style.

Just finished these two doll quilts.  They are much larger than I usually make.  They measure 23" by 30". Lots of free motion quilting practice using an over all stippling which I do not do very often.  It was fun.

 One is a gift for my granddaughter's preschool and the other is a raffle gift for my daughter's doll making workshop.

Another birthday dress for my oldest granddaughter.  Second time I made this dress from the pattern Geranium by RAE.  Great directions and very easy to sew.  The best part of this dress is the fabric.  It was made in Japan, designed by KOKKA Co. Ltd. "Trefle".  

Here is the fabric close up.  Little tiny ballet dancers and the print says "I Love Ballet" and my granddaughter does love ballet.

We worked all of September to remodel the toy/guest room.  No more crib.  For these twin bed quilts,  I used the same fabric  but did two different designs.  I was very happy to find the peach fabric for my background that matched the peach walls.  

Table topper to match

In 1976, my friend Leah's mother Greta taught me how to hand piece this quilt.  This is my first quilt.  With a cardboard hexagon pattern,  I used fabric scraps from my clothes sewing projects.  It took about a year to complete.   I took the quilt to a lady in downtown Spokane to hand quilt and bind.  She had a large quilt frame set up in her living room and charged me very little to complete the quilt.  I did not go back to quilting until the year 2000 when I took a 6 week class in quilting with a sewing machine and a rotary cutter.  Much different experience.
