Quilts!

One of my favorite leisure activities is making quilts. I spend almost all my free time in my sewing room designing and sewing quilt tops. I've even gotten my daughters interested in learning this traditional craft.

I have so many quilt tops made that are waiting to be basted, quilted, and/or bound! And I can't wait to start on that next quilt top - there are so many I want to make! But I've made the time to complete a few.


Critters in the Crossroad I 




Size: 42" x 49"



Critters in the Crossroads II



Size: 38"x39"

Traditional 9 Patch


Size: 36" x 37"



9-Patch Tulips



Size: 35" x 44"


Log Cabin Fever
There is no quick way to make a Log Cabin quilt. Each peice must be individually added to the block. This scrappy quilt used a significant number of different fabrics from my scrap bin, from the reds in the centers outward. But why is it that my scrap bin doesn't seem any emptier?


Size: 38" x 38"


Blue Rail Fence

Size: 43" x 51"


Celestial Music


Size: 43" x 54"

Gentleman's Fancy
This one I gave to a friend of my daughter for a fundraising auction.
While this is washed out, it's much closer to the actual colors than the other picture.

These are beautiful quilts and the prices are very reasonable. I can't seem to find anywhere the size of the blankets.
