Full Size, for Mathew and Heather, 2009

I had seen this pattern in a magazine and wanted to try it. This was for Darleen's son and new wife.  This is just the center panel, it is surrounded with squares of similar fabrics.

Full Size, Fish Panel, 2011

We went on a little road trip and while we were in this town in Colorado, I asked Vere to let me walk through this fabric store I had heard about.  He came up to me and said he'd found some fabric he liked and would I like to make him a quilt from it.  This is it, a panel in the center of the three fish, and the complimentary material around it.  Where some of the material was cut, it sliced right through a fish, so for the inner and outer borders, I appliqued the cut off part onto the border.  Can't have a cut fish bleeding all over the quilt!!!

Two Wall Hangings, Word Play Challenge at guild, 2010

 Again, the challenge for the quilt guild for display at the Moab Museum.  The idea was to interpret a common phrase or simple word, then people were asked to figure out what that phrase or word was.  It is amazing the possibilities.  The top one is "Picture Purrfect", A picture with a cat silhouette looking out.  I had seen this technique in a magazine, sew the horizontal strips together, then slice it into strips vertically, shift, and sew back together.  So, it's just a landscape seen from a picture window.  The cat is on the window sill looking out.

The second one I thought was very clever of me, but I guess not too many people voted for it.  I still like it.  The phrase is "Fan Club"  The block I made is the fan block, three of them laid out like the club card in a deck of cards.  It's hand quilted.

Queen Size, for Lindsey, 2009

 I found this pattern in a McCall Magazine.  I don't know why, it just struck me as the one to do for this girl we knew from Maplewood who was getting married.  We went to the reception in SLC and her step-mom said she'd like Jewel Tones for her colors.  I've got a lot of those.  I tried to quilt it, but made a mess.  Had to unsew it and then had Tommye in town here quilt it on her long arm machine.

Baby Quilt/Wall Hanging, 2009 ish

I made two quilts like this.  The top one was for Terryl's daughter, and the second one went for the guild auction.  It's just strips of fabric with a little rick/rack or lace between and the figure in applique on top.  Guess what it is?  It's the Princess and the Pea,  She's lying on 20 "mattresses".  There's a green button sewn near the bottom.

Two Small Quilts made by My Mom

These two quilts were made by my mom and I got them from Carlene.  They are both about Throw Sized, made from scraps.  The second one looks like it was hand pieced from very slippery material.

Second Afgan from Jill

I meant to put both afgans on the same post.  Oh Well.  This one is really beautiful, another one mostly to look at, not to mess up by using.  It is also very big, huge in fact.  Valerie has it in her house.
