Snowball Quilt

This quilt I hoped to have on my bed for winter, and it happened!  

This quilt had been sitting since March quilt retreat with only the borders still needing to be added and the quilting to be completed.  I am happy to say it is complete!

I designed this quilt all from scratch, which did cause some issues...but I was able to work them out.

Night's Sky

Since my nephew is getting a quilt for Christmas, and my son needs a larger quilt also, I figured I better get busy.  I ended up deciding on Night’s Sky by Jaybird quilts for the pattern.  It went well with all of the bright colored fabric I had picked out.  I also have to say that I have fallen in love with Julie’s patterns.  She gives such great directions these quilt block centers went together during my weekend at fall quilt retreat.  So happy with how this one turned out.  Hope my son likes it!

Red, White and Black Couch Quilt

A goal is complete!

Great news – This quilt is complete.  Here it is, in its new home….my living room. It’s a much needed addition to the room as I always seem to be cold when I spend evenings in the living room.

Sister's Choice

More great news is that I finished my Sister’s Choice quilt (Bonnie Hunter pattern) and it is on its way to my sister and her husband across the country in the state of Washington.  Hopefully they will like the new addition to their home.

Science Fair

So I am now addicted to Jaybird quilt patterns.  Here is the first one that I completed.



Earlier this year my nephew and son both moved from toddler beds to their “big boy beds”.  As such neither of them had quilts large enough for their new beds.  This Christmas that will change.  I have just finished the binding on the quilt for my nephew.  It is Science Fair by Jaybird Quilts and should be bright and full of cheer in his room.

Here is a list of my original goals.
