This fabric is called Best of Morris by Barbara Brackman for Moda Fabrics.    My focus fabric. Black, green, gold....love these colors.




I found this quilt fabric with birds...loved it.   I chose 12 different blocks from the website Quilt Blocks Galore that were 12 inch blocks and a square in the center.   I then fussy cut the fabric so that a bird was in this center block.    It was so fun to make 12 different blocks.   I did feather quilting on the sashing strips and a fancy spirals on the outer borders.

My daughter had her fellow teachers tie dye  squares to make two baby quilts for  friends.  I sandwiched and quilted them  this weekend.  My daughter wanted  only quilting in the ditch so that it would not compete with the tie dye design.  The quilts are unique and creative...............

A lap quilt, housewarming gift for our friends new lake cabin.   My friend wanted a simple pattern with greens, brown and tan.  This pattern is a traditional churn dash.   I did several different quilting designs. Here is the history of the churn dash pattern.

The name of this pattern is Delectable Mountains.   It was very challenging.  A minature quilt measuring 18 x 18.5 but so many seams which did not all line up as I had hoped.   My seam ripper got a good work out. Great use of my scraps. Each piece was 1"× 3".

 Sew spooky quilt pattern by The Quilt Company.  Used steam a seam for smaller pieces.  Some embroidery and extra accessories were also used...
