I quilted this top for Shiela Gowen. My brother recently married his high school sweetheart. Only 40 years later. She had this top from her grandmother. It was hand stitched I am guessing around 1950 to 1960. I machine quilted it for her. It had some stains and was not too flat, but I think it turned out ok. At least it will last her a little while longer.
Just finished this quilt today. Having a difficult time trying to decide who to give it to. I made this from Pat Sloan’s snowflake pattern and used a snowflake quilt pattern on my long arm. The pictures don’t do it justice. August 2020
Just finished this quilt for another grand baby for Sandi McKim. This one is for her son’s baby boy. It is a panel with a pieced border. Random quilt border.
Finished: August 2020
I made this baby girl quilt for a young couple at my church. Kaleb and Angela McLain serve with the youth. They are such a cute couple and this is their first baby. They had a beautiful little girl the beginning of June. This quilt is ribbon dance, a pattern I found on the internet. Finished April 2020 and gifted June 2020. Another one completed during Covid-19 stay safe, stay put.
During the Covid-19 stay safe, I was able to work on some quilts. My favorite thing to do is baby quilts. Since we were unable to shop, I made this from my stash. Just a random pattern from my thoughts. This was made for a lady I worked with before I retired, Sandi McKim. I made this for her daughter, Alyssa’s baby. Completed May 2020. She had a beautiful healthy baby.
Two years ago my wonderful husband built me a happy place. All of my stuff was spread throughout 2 bedrooms and not very organized. We enclosed the patio and made my Nest. Now I have it all together. Of course I have added an embroidery machine, added to my fabric stash, an accuquilt cutter, and done some rearranging/organizing. It is so comfortable and I am able to keep it clean and all together. Of course we extended the patio as well.
Liberty Star Banner by Kim Diehl, purchased at Sager Creek Quilts, Siloam Springs, Ark.
I don’t generally purchase kits, but I couldn’t resist this banner. No particular place to hang. I had just joined The Pryor Patchers Quilt Guild and they mentioned this shop. So I made a 45 minute road trip to check the shop out. It did not disappoint. Of course this wasn’t all that I purchased. This was in January 2020, completed and hung June 2020.
How I chose the name. Just as God created the Heavens and the Earth, We are wonderfully made. Each one of us is unique in our own way. We are pieced together as are quilts with no two being the same. When quilting, I always make a mistake and none are perfect. Just as we are not perfect, but saved by His grace. As Psalms 139:14 says: “
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. Be encouraged and know that you are loved by God.
Going to start back up.
