I fell in love with the "Low Country Indigo" fabric and had no real idea what I would do with it, but eventually decided on a very simple modified 9-block. When I noticed that MSQ had the "Low Country Indigo" layer cakes on sale this week, I thought I'd share my project and show one way to use this wonderful fabric. This is my FIRST full sized, pieced quilt top that's made it to the long arm machine. I've been quilting less than a year and my first attempt(s) were awful (crooked, bad color choices, poor execution, etc). Since trying my hand at quilting, I've developed a greater understanding and a HUGE appreciation of the time, knowledge and dedication that goes into each quilting project.

Hour Glass Quilt in Red White and Blue

I made this quilt for my father's 90th birthday. He was in the US Navy in WWII and remains very patriotic! He has watched the many quilts that I have made so I felt it was time to give him one. He loves it!

Pendant Quilt

Quilt no.6! Using any old excuse to sew, I decided to make this quilt as a birthday present for myself :) I used yardage from Joel Dewberry's "Aviary 2" line in lilac and the Pendant Quilt pattern from his blog.

Natures Garden

Oh, my! Have you ever worked on a project that just kept growing? That is how I felt while working on this quilt. It started out with one little bird followed by some hearts and then flowers. Aha, I think I will make it into a quilt. I added more blocks, drawing some and getting others from a book purchases years ago. I added sashing and then came up with the border. The yo yo's added a little fun to the overall quilt. Then the quilting! It took me several weeks to finish it up. Although I am not a fan of purple, it grew on me enough that I think I will keep it!

My Aloha Girl

I purchased a layer cake called Aloha Girl a few months back and had decided to do the nine-patch/fence rail pattern that Jenny demonstrated a few months ago on YouTube with it. Upon watching the video again, I realized it would be a perfect design to add pictures from our recent trip to Hawaii. So this quilt has become a memory quilt of a wonderful vacation. I was also able to use some fabric that I purchased on Oahu for the backing.

Lilacs Wedding Quilt

The last few yards of Fresh Lilacs by Debbie Beaves of Maywood Studios remained in my favorite quilting shop. The shop also offered a Missouri Quilt Block Class, Goodnight Irene, from Missouri Quilt Magazine Book (Spring 2015 Vol. 2, issue 2) and I knew it was a match. Jennie's video tutorial helped a lot. It was a challenge to figure out what quilting design to use. Using my walking foot, I finally settled on straight line stitching in the "X" sections, free motion quilting in the squares and border. It's my first wedding quilt and I was so pleased with how it turned out.

Flower Patch Pansy

Who doesn't have a stack of leftover charm squares and strips from other projects? When I stumbled upon a television interview of Eleanor Burns with a group of women quilting in a log cabin, the pattern she used, Fabric Frenzy, caught my imagination. It was the first time I attempted a piecing technique she demonstrated. Having watched many of Jenny's videos, I feel they supported the completion of this project. I used my domestic machine to free motion stippling, flower and leaf designs. My sister-in-law now has the finished quilt gracing her living room couch where I found her black lab resting his head one afternoon :-)

Quilt made from recycled fabric.

This quilt was made from old used fabrics my Mom had. I intentionally made it to look like it is an antique quilt. After piecing it I gave it a short tea bath. I pieced this four years ago and think it looks old. I love this quilt. It made me wonder if anyone else has tried this. Fill a bath tub with warm water add tea bags then remove then put quilt into tub until desired stain is on quilt. Try on scrap to determine soaking time. My quilt was soaked for 20 minutes then rinsed in cool water followed by white vinegar and into the dryer to set.

Love of Halloween

My beautiful daughter was born 11 years ago this October 27th. It was the 27th because I asked to be induced because I didn't want her born on Halloween. However she would have loved that, because Halloween is one of her favorite holidays. So for her I made this 4-patch frenzy out of Cheeky Pumpkins. This is also the first quilt I took the time to hand bind.
