Blue and white hidden 9-patch
I just love this blue and white quilt! I wracked my brain trying to come up with a quilt pattern to use. I found an example of this is a quilting magazine and thought it would look good in blue and white!

Indigos Around
Here is my latest quilt top - this one is for ME! (finally!) I made it a bit larger than the pattern called for because I thought it a bit small for a lap quilt. I just love it!

Go Fish!
One of my close friends said, "I want a quilt!" So, I asked her what her favorite colors were. She said they were purple, blue, and green. The very next day in my mailbox I received a quilt magazine offer with a free pattern included for this quilt. I knew it meant that I should make it for her! I also added a strip of patchwork on the back of it, inspired by Amandajean (crazymomquilts). This was also the first quilt that was quilted on my new frame with my new Juki machine!

Starry Night
This was my first wall hanging. I started an attic window block just for practice and ended up doing the whole quilt!

My smallest quilt!
I created this to replace the very worn out little piece of paper we used to let us know it's time to empty the dishwasher (or just to NOT put dirty dishes in it =)
I learned that I should have started with a larger piece of fabric and then cut it down to size after machine quilting it, but it's cute and I love it! It measures about 2" x 3"
Quilt for my mother-in-law
I finished this quilt in about 2 months. It is a simple 4-patch with sashing and cornerstones. The center part was machine quilted with an HQ Sixteen using "groovy boards" in a scallop design. The outer border area was machine quilted on my home machine. The entire front is Thimbleberries fabric. This was a gift for my mother-in-law for her birthday.
