Cosmos Quilt

 

This quilt was made for my daughter and her husband as a huge wall hanging quilt. It measures 8 feet wide by 6 feet tall. This was created using In The Beginning fabrics. Specifically, two large Cosmos Panels, a Cosmos Border Strip, one small Cosmos Panel, and some fabric my daughter picked out that I cannot recall the name of. I made some traditional snail trail blocks for the corner stones. I do hope this wall quilt brings warmth and joy their home.

Bamboozled

 

This Bamboozled Quilt measures 72X62". I used three values each of blue and purple batiks for the main hexagon blocks. I used a glow in the dark moon fabric for the background. For the backing I used scraps from the quilt, black, and a scrap fabric panel. The quilt looks pretty cool in the dark and in the light :)

Lap Pad - Treasure Box Blocks

I have begun making what I call Lap Pads that can also be used as large hot pads for setting larger hot items on the table. I put Insul bright inside which is a heat resistant batting. The lap pads are to be placed on one's lap under their laptop. It keeps the lap and the computer cool without any hassle/bulky things. The lap pad also works as a quick dust cover for the laptops. I did not get everything lined up perfectly but it came out good enough for its intended use. This one will be for my son-in-law. I really like this paper piecing pattern used to make the treasure box blocks. I'll be working harder next time to keep things lined up because I know I'll be making more of these little treasure box blocks. The pattern for the Treasure Box block is from https://littlepatchpockets.co.uk/

Crumb Quilt - Double Wedding Ring

 

A quilt made of the scrappy fabric crumbs collected over my first year of sewing. As such this is the 2020 crumb quilt. Who knows what my 2021 crumb collection will make.

Labyrinth Walk Quilt

 

I completed this exactly one year after purchasing the pattern (that's how long it took me to get the guts to try!). It is a king size quilt with simple quilting. I'm quite pleased with it overall.

 A Jelly Roll Table Runner

Made for a friend. I decided not to add a border but instead to attach flange binding to add a touch of flare.

Cleopatra's Fan Table Runner

I made this table runner, consisting of 6 Cleopatra Fan blocks, as a gift.

 

The Winding Path

 

This is my first attempt at working with bold curves to make a winding path quilt for my daughter. I struggled to get it "good enough" and learned a tremendous amount along the way. I almost chose to scrap it because it was not perfect but then I was reminded that done is better than perfect so I finished it. I am so glad I did!

Pattern was found in the book Circle Pizzazz by Judy Sisneros 

Panda Quilt

 

This is my first panel quilt. I made it for my son-in-law. I learned a lot about free motion quilting with this one and am overall pleased with the end result.
