Ryan's Quilt

This was a very well made TShirt quilt. Straight and square, with the Tshirt blocks backed. Ryan's mother handquilts beautifully, but decided this one should be machine quilted. When he saw the quilt, the first thing Ryan did was roll up in it and take a nap.
Because of the quilt's colors, we used Quilter's Dream black poly batt and Woodgrain pantograph. (Click the photo for a better view of the quilt.)

Graduation Quilt

This graduation quilt was made by Joyce Norton, for her granddaughter, who will be soon be finishing high school. Joyce and I are related... her daughter-in-law, beautiful Natalie, is a niece, a few times removed. Or something. :)
The quilt was impeccably pieced using batik fabrics which are more mezmerizing than the colors show. The batting used was Quilters Dream Wool.

Bev's Dresden Plate

This is Bev's small dresden plate. Beautifully hand appliqued with small, even stitches of black floss which sets off the 30's reproduction fabric nicely. The turquoise sashings lend a bit of zing to the quilt. Free hand quilted.

The Rooster Quilt

I *seriously* had a hard time giving this back to its owner.
The piecing was impeccable, and seeing that I have chickens, this charming quilt would have fit very well in my home.

Look closely and you may see the chickenwire border, a few bugs and eggs.

Donna Lee pieced this gorgeous quilt for the outgoing Stake President and his wife. Many of the fabrics are from Donna's stash; a traditional autograph block was used. The quilt is large ~ 100"x110" Thank goodness no one made a mistake while signing their name!
Did I mention this quilt is gorgeous??

TShirt Quilt

I've quilted several TShirt quilts; this is my favorite. Torrie has used colorful fabric and additional pieced blocks in this present to her friend who is a runner.
