Notes From the Ringmaster: Quilts

2015

My newest project under way is a selvage quilt made entirely out of selvages and scraps all pieced on used dryer sheets. 100% recycled!

A Bug Jar Quilt made for the kids' co-op science teacher. It was so much fun to make with all the tiny details. My first time with major thread color changes. It's quilted with 7 different colors.

A sweet baby quilt made for a little boy who will soon be adopted from China and brought home with his forever family.

Onesie Quilt

A Drunkard's Path made in 1963 possible by Dan's Great-Grandmother. I quilted it for my mother-in-law.

Baseball Jersey Quilt made for a friend's son.

One block wonder - Jelly Bean Explosion. My first time adding cubes to a one block wonder

2014

And the last of 2014, Caden's Yoda quilt. I finished it just in time for his birthday in January. Yoda is made up of over 1,000 2" squares. It was a beast to make and keep hidden. My sewing area is in the middle of our house. Caden walked by me working on it constantly.

Not exactly, quilting, but this are fun free standing lace ornaments I made on Jae's embroidery machine.

A t-shirt quilt with shadow blocks made as a Christmas present for a friend's son.

This quilt is extra special. I made it for my Uncle Clifford. He received it the week before he died. I know he opened the box and read the tag on the back, but he did not take it out of the box and see it. The quilting on the back of it is so pretty.

Winter Magnolia - made with material from material I found in Doris' stash when cleaning out her and Grandpop's house.

Kitties play at Midnight. Jaelyn made this for me for Christmas.

Words to Live By - made for the Smallest Gift Charity Auction

Jennifer's quilt - My first One Block Wonder. I can't believe I don't have a finished picture of this quilt. It is so pretty. I'll have to take one when I'm home this summer

I found a picture!

Stain Glass Disappearing Nine Patch for my Dad's birthday and father's day

Jaelyn's 9 Lives Quilt she made for my mom

Jaelyn's New Twin Bedding...started out as a pattern named Wavelength, but we hated it and rearranged the blocks until we came up with this arrangement

A baby quilt I made to sell

A disappearing pinwheel quilt I made for my mother in law. I tease her about the table cloth I made because she keeps it spread out on her dining room table so she can see it all the time.
