I converted a picture of
a dragon I found online into an applique pattern and pieced together a
really cute pillow. Sorry, I forgot where I found the dragon pattern,
but here's Tommy playing peek-a-boo with his dragon pillow. He's
an excellent dragon wrestler. :)
Of course, when he's not
dragon wrestling, he sometimes helps me quilt.
Tommy’s “Wish Block Quilt”
A bunch of my friends from
the Quilter’s Coven email
group each sent a block
with a wish or gift for
Tommy on it. There are gifts of love for animals,
inspiration, friends, health,
happiness and more, among the 27 blocks sent.
(Close-up Samples from Wish
Quilt)
I sashed it with a snowy
swirl fabric because Tommy was born close to winter.
This was the first quilt
I had made in over five years!
Christa’s “Fishy Quilt “
Here's a “Fishy Quilt” that
I made for my daughter, Christa.
It was my first attempt
at using the "attic windows" pattern.
This was the first time I
used "set-in" or "Y" seams.
I was surprised at how well
the seams turned out.
I had more trouble aligning
the rows correctly than I did doing the seams!
Brian’s Tiger Double Irish Chain Quilt
This was my first ever Irish
Chain quilt.
It turned out HUGE!!! It
is the biggest quilt I have done to date.
I didn’t make it easy for
myself, as the fabric is ALL directional!!!
I somehow finished it just
in time for Brian's 18th birthday.
The QC is a wonderful group of quilters and we always have "swaps" going on.
Below is a thumbnail of my piecing of our recent signature or "siggy" swap.
For this swap, we all made blocks with our signature or a symbol we
associate with and sent them to the "swap momma" who distributes
the blocks to the list. I made a 5x6 block wall hanging with the blocks I received.

posting more here... :)
