Quilt in the Pinedale, WY, quilt shop. This colorful work has no saturated colors added. It was this vibrant!
Lorna, The Bear Den, and I headed out to Stephannson House Provincial Historic Site on Sunday for their quilt show. Lovely day, and so many beautiful quilts on display!
This room is my sewing/computer room and the quilt that is hanging covered with photos, was made by me many years ago. Photography has taken over my life and put quilting on the back burner.... since I have many quilts hanging on the walls, I just print out 4x6 pictures with the Canon Selphy and clip them up.
Today is a day of celebration, so I decided to interrupt my desert trip photos with one of a quilt I put together this summer while I was staying in a friend's country guest house during my six weeks of daily radiation. I decided to turn my cancer nightmare into an art retreat.
Here the pieces are cut and just being arranged on a white felt board. Since it was taken I have half the quilt sewn together and hope to finish it this winter.
The nice thing about quilting is you can do as little or as much as you feel up to doing.
And like society, the diversity of individuals working together make a beautiful, interesting, useful whole.
Using Summer Soiree fabric. I added one more row of blocks to fit a full bed.
Used the instructions at www.ohfransson.com/oh_fransson/quiltalong.html
I just love the border on this one. It was one of the repeats in the fabric that I split to make the scalloped border! :)
A quilt is a type of blanket, traditionally composed of three layers of fiber: a woven cloth top, a layer of batting or wadding, and a woven back, combined using the technique of quilting.
Quilts are distinguished from other types of blanket because they are pieced together from several layers of cloth by stitches or ties. Where a single piece of fabric is used for the top, (a “wholecloth quilt”), the key decorative element is likely to be the pattern of stitching, but where the top is “pieced” from a patchwork of smaller fabric pieces, the pattern and color of the pieces will be important.
Krista (Poppyprint) and I decided to do a little side swap, and this is what I made her.

This quilt was totally inspired by Nettie's awesome rainbow geese quilt seen here: aquiltisnice.blogspot.com/2011/04/rainbow-geese-quilt.html.
Right now there are 96 flying geese, but I've got 3 more in the label to make it 99. I named it "99 Bright Flying Geese on the Wall" because I always had the song "99 bottles of beer on the wall" in my head while I was sewing these things up, with the words changed about geese. "Trim one down, toss the scraps around, 96 bright flying geese on the wall" etc. What can I say, teeny piecing like this makes me a bit delirious. Do you have this song in your head now? I hope so.
Size is apx. 12 x 16 inches. Including the white, backing fabric, and the other 3 geese (one is a repeat of a front goose), there are 100 fabrics in this baby.
I've finished my mini quilt version of the Stitch Along that Rachel is hosting on her blog - Contented. This is a Birthday present for my Mum but I will definitely be making more of these. I love it and it was such a quick and easy little project.
Fabric is Heather Ross Mendocino on Essex Linen, and the binding is Bliss by Moda.
I put in a movie today during naptime and quilted my little heart out. I really hope this chunky sort of hand quilting is okay by you, partner. ??
Quilt for my partner. I switched designs in the middle of making it, but I hope my partner likes the direction I took. The doll quilt was inspired by a block made by quirky granola girl. Hope you like it partner!
My first quilt making attempt - a commisioned security quilt for a newborn. Made of various cotton scraps with a border of linen. Also has a pacifier loop.
16 squares of Tant paper and 2:1 connectors.
From a blintzed windmill base, inspired by stars I folded recently.
Connectors same as Fröbelian quilts
this is a quilt that i made using a pattern in the kaffe fassett book "glorious patchwork" (the quilt on the book cover actually). it has serious problems, not the least of which is that i really don't love that color scheme. what was i thinking? also, it looks wobbly because i laid it on my bed without removing the pillows first, oops.
Quilt made using Amy Karol - Bend the Rules sewing book. I used the "wastage" to make my quilt longer.
These Amy Butler prints are in my favorite green colour - This is my second in the same fabrics (I made one for my mum for Xmas but didn't take a pic.)

I've been working on this for awhile. I wanted it to be done by March 27th to take to Boston when we went to see her but it just didn't work out. Carrie (my oldest) 23rd birthday was today so I worked all weekend finishing up midnight Sunday, then throwing it in the washer as I slept, putting it in the dryer as I got my shower in the morning and off it went UPS Next Day delivery.
She was crying when she called after opening it. awwwhhh!
Picture credits to Carrie www.flickr.com/photos/22031601@N02/. I couldn't even get a finished picture of it!
Hoping to add one of the back as soon as she takes it for me. The quilt measures 64x67, the biggest I ever made.
Yea, it's done!
I think this has to be my most favorite quilt that I have made, so far!
I hope the recipient enjoys it for a long time! :)

ready for basting, and then hand quilting. the squares are 4.5", and the sashing is 2.5" (after sewing). in retrospect, i think i'd like it better with wider sashing, but it's still a decent size (60x66) (which after all the baby quilts, seems big, now that i've got the hand sewing left to do...).
This is a teacher Christmas present for my daughter's headmistress - she likes quilts, but doesn't sew, so hopefully this will be popular.
Completed Hopscotch quilt.
Pattern by Camille Roskelly.
fabrics are Chicopee by Denyse Schmidt and coordinating solids from a bundle i had bought from Pink Chalk Fabrics awhile back.
Modified pattern to make an 80x80 quilt, although it turned out more like 78x80". I laid the blocks out in a 15x8 pattern instead of the 11x7 pattern the pattern uses.
Quilted with a fmq meandering stitch through the triangles, but i did different patterns in the star areas though to highlight the stars.
Made as a wedding gift for my stepsister.
(My husband says we should keep it instead, LOL! I'll behave and give it away though!)
