 This is called Art Square.  Wanted a quilt to hang on my dark orange wall.  The white squares look like pumpkins but they are actually pin cushions with needle and thread.  


 This quilt is called Swoon Sixteen..........sixteen inch blocks, sixteen blocks.

I used Lori Holt Fabrics.  I've bought 4 fat quarter bundles of her fabrics.  I really love the colors and patterns.  I imagine I will grow tired of making quilts from the same fabrics, but not yet!

This is called Coming Home by Sarah Fielke.  Took 2 1/2 months.  It was really fun to make........as I always say.  The pattern had pieces to trace instead of measurements to cut multiples so I had trouble lining them up.  Not the usual way to put together a quilt.  Also, it weighs a lot and was a bit difficult to move around especially on the longarm but I'm happy with how it looks now.  Want to do smaller quilts again.

Hand applique projects from My Enchanted Garden book by Gretchen Gibbons.

This block is called Happy Bouquet

This block is called Bountiful Tree.

Love to have hand applique projects to work on while watching shows.  Also nice to do a smaller project.

 Pattern.........In The Flock by Suzy Quilts.  Daughter chose this linen fabric and pattern.  Baby quilt gift for a friend.  Subtle........sophisticated.  Photo, as usual, does not do it justice.

This pattern is called mini flower power.  English paper piecing which is super fun.  Then I hand sewed them to black background.  Used a blanket stitch around the centers.  Which I should practice more!  Fun to do a smaller project.



 

 Columbine Quilt.  Lots of hand applique and using my solids!
