Laundry Day, Quilted
This sweet little quilt is Laundry Day, a kit from Fat Quarter Shop, featuring a Kim Diehl design and fabrics. It is a mini quilt that I just got back from my quilter, Mary at Quilt Hollow. The light wasn't quite right when I took the picture, so I don't know if you can see…

2014 A Retrospective July – December
I was somewhat more productive the second half of 2014. I finished a good number of quilts, but also constructed some non-quilt projects and decorative items. July July was The Month of the Quick Curve Ruler. I had mixed results using this tool, but Metro Hoops, above, is my favorite finish using the ruler.…

2014 A Retrospective, January – June
2014 was an awesome year for quilt projects. For me, it was The Year of Curved Piecing, a trend I hope will continue into 2015 and beyond. 2014 was also The Year of Making Smaller Quilts, which I found to be rewarding. I also finished up some UFOs and got a couple of things quilted…

Just last week I received my Kate Spain "All Wrapped Up" quilt back from my quilter, Mary Flynn of Quilt Hollow. This is just the cutest quilt, probably ever. This quilt is destined to go on Eva's first Big Girl Bed, slated to be set up this weekend or maybe next. I have the binding…

Lucy
Lucy is completed! This pretty quilt took no time at all to make. In fact, after all the curved piecing and ruler drama I have had lately, this quilt was the perfect answer for me. I put a couple of audio books on the iPod and stitched away happily engrossed in both the books and…

Spooky Canasta, Quilted
Wow. Remember this little Schnibbles? I call it Spooky Canasta. It is a pattern by Miss Rosie's Quilt Co. that I finished just about a year ago. My quilter (Mary of Quilt Hollow) just sent me this picture, and I tell you, she transformed this little quilt. I never cease to be amazed by the imagination…

Kaleidoscope Quilted
I am so thrilled with this quilt! It only has one major problem, and that is that I didn't make it twice as big. It was beautifully quilted by Mary of Quilt Hollow, and I don't think I could be any crazier about how it turned out. Zoom in if you can and take…

Out of the Blue Quilt Graveyard…
I know. Just reflect on that for a moment. When I was reminded that I had made a blue and white Winding Ways quilt awhile back, I decided to see if I could dig it out of the flimsy bin. Well, bless my heart, it wasn't the only blue quilt waiting to be quilted in…

Ryan’s Quilt
This is the second quilt I received back from my quilter, Mary Flynn of Quilt Hollow, last week. I made it for a very special man in my life, and am so pleased with how it turned out. Mary's quilting is wonderful. She used a classic design called Baptist Fans, which I think perfectly sets…
