This quilt is what I made when challenged by the Modern Quilt Guild with a handful of Riley Blake prints and one solid gray. The prints were not what I would call pretty. Some people made amazing things out of them, but I just couldn’t see it. The rules were to use at least one […]
Edit: McCall’s Quilting featured this in their June/July issue in the Quilter to Quilter section! They also sent me two copies of the magazine and a queen-sized batting. I came across the pattern for this quilt back in April, 2013, in McCall’s Quilting, not where I usually find inspiration. It was already a twin size […]
At the October Dallas Modern Quilt Guild meeting, we were all instructed to bring in “low volume” fabrics. Low volume mean fabrics that would show up white in a black and white photograph. We then ripped our fabric in half and passed half to the person next to us. We did this again and again […]
A miniature quilt on a frame for Russell and Lucy Bartholomee’s 20th wedding anniversary. The field I put together from part of a Moda mini charm pack. I used the same technique with frame and staple gun as for Phoebe’s Sunshine.
Cousin Andi Carvalho asked for a quilt! I offered to make this one since I’ve made it before and it didn’t kill me. I sent her the Moda Bella solids swatch book and she picked out the colors. When Phoebe and I visited San Francisco in October, we got to see it in situ and […]
My mother sent me her wedding dress (from 1966) and this lovely raw silk plaid. Both of these are intimidating, to say the least. I haven’t figured out what to do with them yet.
I have the fabric for this quilt in napping size and I have started it…
I made this napping-size quilt as a wedding gift for Michael’s cousin Rob Thrift and Rachel Moore. We delivered it to the wedding on April 6, 2013, in Austin. The background is RJR 9617-117. The fields are Marcia Derse for Riverwoods Fabrics.
I ordered this as a kit from Modern Quilt Studio. This is my first attempt at curved piecing. This is a napping quilt size and I gave it as a wedding gift to Michael’s cousin Delia Yarrow and Anngel Delaney. Delia’s brother Matt delivered it to her after we handed it off to him at […]
I don’t remember how I found out about Quiltcon, but once I did, I knew I had to go. I arranged to work in Austin that Friday and then spend Friday night with my cousin Sarah Reed, and then stroll through the exhibit halls on Saturday. The quilts I’ve been making since are definitely more […]
