Hyacinth Quilt

It's a girl! The quilt is purple! 



Name: Alexa's Quilt
Design: Whole cloth quilt
Quilting: FMQ with loops on my home machine 
Size: about 42"x52"



A super simple quilt that was a joy to make. Each side is a single 1.5 yards cut. The letters are fused and have hand embroidered edges. I loved the variegated thread I used for the quilting, it's been in my stash for years: Gutterman 100% cotton

Slouchy Red Hat

A fun and quick knit 



Pattern name: Barley Hat by tincanknits

Not sure I like the slouchyness, but the pattern is great. I hope to make it again, maybe a size large with a shorter length.

Wonky Bees

A silly quilt for a new little boy! He is so welcomed by his family. And me too!


Name: Wonky Bees
Design: Wonky log cabins 
Quilting: FMQ with loops on my home machine 
Size: about 42" square, did not get it washed yet 


I did you some mad hand embroidery skills I learned from Casey York at Quiltcon 2015. My machine did not really like quilting over the thicker edging. 


One done, many more projects to go!

My little cousin

I have the privilege of having many cousins. Most of them had children before I got the whole quilting thing figure out. I may or may not ever catch up. I hope my cousin and her gorgeous son enjoy this little creation. 


Name:  A quilt for Xandros
Design: My imagination 
Size:  40x44 inches
Quilted by me on my little Brother, with lots of little squares
The quilt design was inspired by my first try at embroidery. I used Crayons to add a little color. 

Only a few more hundred to get all caught up.
