Close up of Tis The Season

Tis The Season

This quilt started out to be a table runner but I loved it so much I kept going and made a quilt!!

Fall Tablerunner

Fall in Springbrook Park

This fall quilt was made out of soft flannel fabrics.

Endless Summer

I saw this quilt in the window at the Cherry Pit Quilt Shop in Sevierville, Tennessee. I knew that I had to make it. I love the beautiful blue batiks against the striking white on white fabric. This quilt was accepted into the AQS Quilt Show in October 2008 in Des Moines, Iowa. I pieced and Debbie McMurray quilted her.

My Beautiful Contrary Wife

Debbie McMurray designed this quilt using the Contrary Wife quilt block. We enjoy making two color quilts that show off the perfect piecing and beautiful machine piecing. My Beautiful Contrary Wife was accepted into the Amercian Quilter's Society Oct. 2008 Show in Des Moines, Iowa. I pieced this quilt and Debbie McMurray completed her with beautiful machine quilting.

Celestial Guides - The Space Quilt is redefined

"The project is a "space elevator" and some experts now believe that the concept is well within the bounds of possibility--maybe within our lifetime." This quote is from CNN.com/europe

Sometimes we support our family members as best as we can. My brother-in-law Bert and my son Aaron are on the National Space Society team to build a space elevator. You can read more about this at http://www.nssspaceelevator.org/

My sister Dawn and I decided that we would help the team out by making this Space Quilt. There are many shades of grey in this quilt to give it depth. Caryl Bryer-Fallert's gradation fabric was perfect for one of the colorful borders. The outside wide border gave paper-piecing a new meaning. It took me over 4 hours to complete one side of the border. Dawn painstakingly paper-pieced each of the moons and stars and then appliqued them to the quilt. I cannot begin to determine how many different fabrics and how many hours went into the designing and sewing of this quilt. Debbie McMurray took machine quilting to a whole new level on this quilt. Thank you Debbie!!
