Things I've made
1992:
This is my first quilt was made mostly by hand and with a small hand-held sewing machine - completely from stuff I had at hand, and one cool patterned housecoat from a friend, and a blue striped shirt.
1994:
Another quilt I like is my sunflower one, using a simple star block. It has lots of yellow from a suit that my grandmother made for me and other scrap fabric, plus the inside batting is from a Goodwill mattress pad...I like the bright, happy feeling of this one. The scalloped pieced addition along the bottom is antique feed sack quilt pieces I inherited.
1999:
This is one I made from a huge batch of upholstery samples that my ex-mother-in-law got for me at a garage sale... she gave me this huge bag of fabric, all in neat little squares... a quilters dream! :) I used a simple nine patch design and then to finish it I used a skirt of antique embroidered pillow cases, it sort of makes a bed skirt look.... these pillow cases were from my grandmother's house.
2008:
I made this wall hanging from an antique quilt piece that had never been finished; I had a huge pieced star I inherited; so I cut it to straighten it out and create these triangles that hang down... I was picturing a banner from medieval times to hang in Cecilia's "castle" room -- I think it turned out okay and has the perfect colors for this... with bows and buttons, of course, for extra detail.
2008:
This is what I'm working on now -- "Summer Sun pattern using a new technique, paper piecing and its great! I'm very happy with this so far -- it should be a nice wall hanging when its finished.
