I only have about 25 4-inch blocks to applique and I will be ready to sew this Dot to Dot quilt together. I need 144!

Christmas BOM from Gail Pan
Six finished

Just starting a Hexagon quilt. I found a stamp at a quilt show. You stamp the wrong side of the fabric and match the lines and sew on the lines.

No templates needed. So far so good.

Prize for Sister's Trip

Took2 different patterns from Moda Bake Shop and made these little "What-not Bags"

Check out the names I put on with my sewing machine.

Quilt Retreat 2009

Seven fun ladies were able to spend a few days in the White Mt.'s and

We all brought projects we wanted to finish and one day we worked on one together

We learned how to make a pinwheel out of 2- 10 inch squares

Churn Dash Quilt/Jolly Good Fellow Quilt

Just changed the extra room for Grandsons spending the week with us.

The Red and White room was changed to a boys room.

I took this Churn Dash quilt down and put up the My Dad's "Jolly Good Fellow Quilt"

I Love it

Quilt for Megan and Chris

Mom used to make tied quilts for the grandkids for a wedding present.

My Sisters have carried on the tradition. Donna helped me put this on on the frames when she was here a few weeks ago. We tied a few rows and I finished it this week. Sally made the last one so it was my turn.

Peg's Daughter Meagan was getting married so she didn't have to worry about this one.

I am counting this as my 6th quilt in 2009. I am now ready to start some new projects.

I still have 3 more quilts to complete this year, so I better get busy.

Graduation Day

"This is not your Granny's Quillow"

For Maddie I kicked it up a notch and put satin on the back. It feels fabulous! I also quilted it with straight lines on the machine.

Good Job Tyler!

This quillow looks exactly like the one Mom made for her grandchildren when they graduated from High School.

Mom had 63 grandchildren and now that she is gone her daughters have tried to keep the tradition and make a quillow for the graduate.

We only have 8 more to go.
