More than two years ago, I made my very first memory quilt from the clothing of a loving father. The daughter gifted it to her mother and I understand it has been displayed on her mother's bed every day since then. Late last year she asked me if I would take the scraps from that project and make five small quilts so that each of her siblings could also have a memory quilt to remember their father by. That is the primary project I have been working on in 2017. She wanted to gift them for…

The original post for these quilts was just over two years ago. This set of mini-quilts was made for a family of five siblings to remember their father. I've received several questions about reproducing the design for the first and third quilts so thought I'd share that information here so that you can make one, too. One frequent question is about how to size the finished quilt to be bigger or smaller. Both of these designs are based on an eight block by eight block grid. In other words…

This winter I'm in a bit of a sewing slump. I've decided instead of buying more fabric--I want to use what I have on hand, but use it differently. I don't have lots of solids, but I do have lots of fabric. Research: I've been gathering photo ideas to build Modern Scrappy Quilts this year.

Take an…

Soft flannels plus plaids - what's not to love!

It is an absolute eye -catcher in every room, but fits well into its surroundings because the color is subtle. Due to the different shades of blue, it has a very nice depth effect. The edge and the suspension was sewn with the hand, sewing the squares together and the quilt in the seam was carried out with the sewing machine. The back consists…

My boys (husband and son) took a quick trip last week which gave me a little time to sew in the evenings. I took the opportunity to finish a couple things. My first finish is the first Puzzle Quilt I made. The link will take you to the tutorial I did for this quilt. I just happened to have the perfect backing fabric in my stash. It's done and labeled and ready to donate to my guild's oncology quilt project.
