ROUND AND ROUND WE GO


This quilt is done with Little Red Riding Hood line of fabrics. This picture makes it look kind of pink, but backgrounds and out border are actually white. It also has little birds appliqued onto the quilt.  This would be fun for a little girl.

Pumpkin Patch


Sorry this is sideways, now I can't get computer to let me go back and turn it.

This pattern is by Barbara Jones of Quilt Soup, and the fabric is from her line called "Frank 'n Friends".
I really LOVE this line of fabric and the pumpkins were so fun to applique.  This is my favorite table runner I have ever done.

PERKY PEONIES (number 2)


I made this quilt, called Perky Peonies, many years ago when my friend, Barbara Jones, first designed the pattern.  I recently saw this new line of fabric by Moda, called California Dreamin, and had to try making this quilt again.  I am very happy with the way it turned out and I am donating it to our Ward auction at church to raise money for Youth Conference this year. Hope I can get a bidding war going!Quilt up for auction

Quilt Soup Mystery Quilt 2011

I had so much making and appliqueing this awesome quilt.  I had to use all the tricks I know for applique and the figures on the quilt were so varied and I love, love, love this fabric line which is called Cherry Fizz by Barbara Jones of Quilt Soup. Be sure to double click on the photo and see the details on this one.  Thanks to Kathryn Lindsay for quilting it so beautifully.facebook.com

SIMPLE AND SWEET



The name of this quilt is "Bliss" by Thimble Blossoms".  This is needle-turn applique with large alternate blocks that my friend, Kathryn Lindsay,  did a fabulous job quilting with  intricate patterns.  She really outdid herself on this one and it shows the quilt off so much.  This reminded me of an old-fashioned quilt your Grandma might have made.  It is currently on display at Material Girls in West Jordan, Utah.  Be sure to click on this photo to see the beautiful quilting up close.   facebook.com
