My quilts that I've done

I've been getting requests to post the quilts that I've worked on since I've moved from Tucson, sooo, here we go...

I made this for our neighbors just up the street.  They collect
black bear motif and when I found this panel I just knew
I had to make it for them.  Started with the panel and just
"winged" it from there out to the border.  Quilted by
Penny in Troy PA, she did a great job.

This is a "Wonky" pattern.  Used a base fabric, muslin, and
scraps sewn on at angles.  No real pattern, easy to do and it
put quite a dent in in scrap bin.  Nancy helped and we gave
it to a friend of hers that had recently been a fire victim and
lost most everything in their home.  She was delighted.

Christmas Stockings for the grandkids here in PA.  Thanks to
Barb and the quilt group at Grace in Tucson for teaching me
how to make these easily.  They were done quickly and
enjoyed immediately.

A Steam Engine, Freight Train and a Passenger Train.  This
was pieced while I was in Tucson, but quilted by Penny here
in PA.  This was given to Bryce, grandson here in PA.

I love this pattern!  I've made three of these.  The kids really
enjoy this one.  It was given to our youngest grandson, Evan.

Hunter's Star.  Thanks to Charlotte for teaching this pattern
 to me.  It was challenging but very rewarding.  It's not been
quilted yet, can't decide how I want it done.

A simple Attic Windows pattern.  Found a panel of school room
theme and just had to make it for Cheryl.  Cheryl has been the
best friend ever, since Junior High days!  Oh my!!

Lazy Susan pattern.  I used this as an experiment with my
first attempt at a "quilt-as-you-go" project.  It works GREAT!
It is my new favorite technique.



A close-up of the quilting.  I tried to do feathers on the petals
of the flower and did an overall stippling on the background.
 I did free-hand vines and leafs in the sashing.

I used scraps for everything and ran short when it came to
the back, so I improvised.  It seems to have worked well.

Table runner.  I taught a class to my friends here in PA with
the "Sound Waves" paper-piecing pattern and this is what
I made for that class.  They did a great job on theirs!

This one is all scraps again, stripes and plaids.  It's made like
the "Gods-eye" that I learned to make in girl scouts years
ago.  It turned out well too.  It put a dent in my scrap bin, but
it seems to never get empty, will just have to keep making
more scrappy quilts!

Twisted squares.  I like this template and pattern.  It is a bit
of a challenge, but it comes out great.  I did one that was all
twisted blocks and it seemed like I wasted a lot of fabric, but
putting it into blocks like this, it's not much waste at all.

Close-up of the twisted squares quilt.  I used a charm pack
in batiks and some batiks I had in my stash.

 I'm sure there are more quilts that I have done, but I don't have pictures yet.  As I do them, I will post and share them with you.
