Mystery Quilt 2010

" A moment in Time "
A close-up of quilting.This was a mystery quilt done New Years January, 2010 online with Planet Patchwork. We received instructions every hour. It was named 'Have a Nice Trip'. I added borders to make it 54x66. Used domestic, short-arm quilter and some hand quilting. I was really pleased with the way it turned out. I have renamed it "A moment in time' and will be given to a gal who is fighting cancer. I plan to do another one this New Years day. It is Challenging and fun.

Christmas Gifts

A Christmas Stocking for great grand son, Max who is 6 months old. I have made these for my family. This is the 16th one if I have counted right.

Sassy Purses designed by Barb D..the handles are removable so you can have several. Purse takes 2 fat quarters. These are very easy to make. I put special stitches along the ruffle on the top and they also have 3 pockets inside.

Tulip Bell's Table Runner

I finally finished my 'Tulip Bells Table Runner'. This was a project done at Tacoma guild. Barb, our president showed us the technique and then we finished them on our own. It looked easy but it was tedious. It consisted of three 12" dimensional blocks. The corners were sculpted after After quilted on my domestic machine the corners were sculpted. It will grace my living room.
