November Donation Quilt

This quilt was made for the group "Sleep in Heavenly Peace" and donated to them via the Quilt Guild of Greater Houston. The photo is from the November show and tell.
The quilt finished at 54 inches by 70 inches; which is slightly smaller than the group preferred size for quilts. (54" X 72").
I am hoping it will make a little Texan feel loved and warm. 

October Quilts (2019)

These 2 wall hanging quilts were made with scraps from my fabric collection. The photos are from the October show and tell  for my guild: The Quilt Guild of the Greater Houston.

Small quilts are my favorites these days. The quilting was done on my Bernina using the embroidery mode.

Orca Bay my way

This is my version of the Orca Bay Mystery quilt by Bonnie Hunter from Quiltville. I made half of the number of pieces suggested for a twin size quilt. It will be a gift to a family member.  It was lovely machine quilt by Linda from: https://www.facebook.com/LindasBitsNPiecesQuilting/

Dresden quilt

The last finish of 2018 was this Dresden Flower quilt. It was a lot of experimentation for me. I did the quilt on my embroidery machine and I quilted before I did applique the Dresdens. I planned to make it a little bigger; but I did accidently cut the curved pieces smaller than I planned on paper. The measure twice and cut once did not came in play here. But it was serendipity because I like it better this way; and it was easier to quilt. 

The gorgeous Dresdens were made by my bee, the Cotton Pickin Bee, as a challenge in 2018. We decided on the colors for the Dresdens; but the rest was up to each person.  The Dresdens were hand appliqued on the quilted top.

I will take a picture of the complete quilt soon. It is a remodeling zone here; and the mess is too much to document in pictures.

Happy 2019

Welcome 2019!

Wishing everyone, renewed dreams, health, peace, love, smiles, and time to enjoy it all with the ones you love and treasure.
