Hello! I feel like I've been busy busy busy the past couple of weeks. Thank you to all the Brownstone Quilters who came out for my talk and workshop on Feb 11. Also thanks to Clamshell Quilters where I presented my lecture; Quilts - The Story of My Life last week. It is always rewarding to share my passion for quilt making.
Here is a little 4-patch variation that I made to celebrate my 30th Wedding Anniversary which was Valentines Day.
I included photos from the 3 decades in an IG post.
Happy Belated Presidents Day! Here is very small sampling of my Presidents collection.
I made this before I heard about the challenge from the Two Thimbles Quilt Shop with the same theme. I ordered this super cute challenge package filled with fun goodies!
I've already started a new little quilt for the challenge. Join the fun!
Remember this project? I finally had the time to really figure out the next border (it took lots of math brain power, lol). It will be all clamshells and sparrows.
You can see a printout of the bird color placement on the left. It is so so helpful for me. I machine basted everything again - I love this method for hand applique it is so secure and no pins to catch.
Seriously Starbuck? He is perched on some bedding while I was doing the sheets.....notice the empty cat bed. If he fits, he sits.
My Alice Payne quilt will be on display this weekend at the Mid-Atlantic Quilt Festival. Is anyone going? I'd love a photo of it since I won't be there.

In other news, I finished a little log cabin doll quilt - its more runner size. I did simple straight line quilting.
I had a very small piece of this pretty blue toile' for the backing.
Here is a little "Year of the Rooster" quilt that I made using leftover ninepatch blocks which worked well as little coops.
