Etta and I made a quilt together.  I put the sparkly pink fabric on the back.  She loves making a bed for her dolls with this quilt.

I made this baby quilt for Jessi's high school friend, Tara.  Maureen Louise was born in November in Massachusetts.  Jessi chose the fabric.  Tara said the purples matched the nursery well.  I quilted a bunny outline in each light purple square set on point.  I made a matching doll quilt.......very fun to make.

Taking a small break from quilting, I made these dresses for my granddaughters.  The pattern was called Giggles from Izzy and Ivy.  Etta loves pink and sparkly so I was very happy to find the silver sparkly dragonfly fabric.  The other two dresses were made from fabric that Grammy liked.  

Applique T shirts for my grandsons.  Arlo loves trucks but he wants trains for the next Applique T-shirts.

Finished this quilt on June 1, 2014.  Another quilt made from my scrap bags.  This pattern came from the website Quilt Blocks Galore.  The quilt square is called the Four Patch Ladder.  

Finished this quilt on April 27, 2014.  Fons and Porter magazine pattern called Butterscotch Pudding. Scrappy greens..............

Jessi gave each faculty member at her school at 5 x 5 square and pieces of felt.  The baby quilt is a gift for a teacher at their school.  I put the squares in a square and pieced them on point.  Setting triangles and putting the quilt together in diagonal rows was a challenge.   Finished this quilt on April 3, 2014.

I'm so glad that I photographed my quilts.  Most of them have been given to friends and family as gifts.

I learned how to quilt in 2000 in Olympia, WA.  Holly Bullock's Beginning Quilting.  

Quilting has been an obsession ever since.  

My favorite quilting projects are hand applique with machine quilting.  My favorite patterns come from Fons and Porter magazine.  

Making quilts from scraps is also a favorite.  I choose a square pattern from QuiltBlocksGalore.com and then use my scrap bags.  

Contrary to some beliefs.........I do not love quilting more than my husband.  Dennis is the biggest supporter of my addiction.
