Material Girls Sample
This quilt was sewn by a friend as a sample for Material Girls quilt store. This is a really bright and fun quilt sewn together using a jelly roll. I'm not sure she loved her first exposure to sewing prairie points into a border. Looks great though!!

Two Great Quilts
Ok, this picture didn't turn out the way I had hoped, but the quilt is awesome!! I love the black, red and gold combination. I first saw this Buggy Barn pattern out of these colors about a year or more ago and instantly fell in love with it. I have been collecting fat quarters ever since, but mine is still NOT done. My friend gets everything done that I just intend to!! Anyway, I did think this was worth sharing.
This great Yellow Brick Road quilt was made by a teenager for her friend. I really love this pattern and think it is really fun how many different looks you can come up with for the same pattern. Her color combination is fabulous!!

Baby Quilts Made with Motif Fabrics
Both of these baby quilts were made by the same lady. In both quilts, she began with a really cute all-over motif print. In the first quilt, she kept the yardage together and added some fun borders. In the second quilt, she cut the yardage apart and sewed them into this great quilt. Both are fun and eye catching!!
Charm Pack Quilt
My customer began this quilt by sewing together a few charm packs she fell in love with. Then she wanted to make it a little bigger and loved the 3-D Bow Tie block. After about four trips back to the quilt store to buy more fabric, she ended up with a fairly large and dang cute lap-sized quilt for her grandchild.

Peek-A-Boo Variations
I began by making this redwork quilt as a project for Corner Canyon Quilters. I loved the quilt so much, my friend Shelley and I started collecting purples and greens to make a variation....
This was our variation, which I love. I wasn't quite sick of it yet, so I decided to try in it the ever popular pink and brown combination. This combination is now probably my personal favorite.

My sister, Mary, and I designed this variation of the Peek-a-Boo quilt for Tenderberry Stitches. Mary, of course, did all the hand stitching. I designed and completed the rest of the quilt.
My goal was to make five of these quilts--one for each of my daughters for Christmas--but this project hasn't been touched for several years. That's maybe not too likely anymore, but I LOVE the ones I have!!

Halloween Quilts
Snowmen Singing the Blues
This quilt was designed by my sister Mary and I for Sharon Reynolds of Tenderberry Stitches. Mary and I have been designers for her for many years. Mary's specialty is stitcheries and mine is quilt design, piecing and quilting. Mary and I each did our part of the quilt twice so that we could both have a quilt in the end. Mary has waited for her quilt for WAY too long, but I finally have it done!!!

Cotton Shop Block of the Month
This quilt was brought to me by one of my great customers. I wish I could take credit for the piecing!! I understand it was a block of the month from The Cotton Shop--and NOT an inexpensive or easy project. The blocks are pieced using templates. This is definitely a work of art. This is custom quilted in a neutral thread and in a black thread. I took a picture of the back so you can see the feathers going around the outside border. This Queen-Sized quilt is quilted with wool batting to give it some loft. I love the way the log cabin blocks set off the other pieced blocks. What a fabulous way to set a block of the month quilt!!
