Memory Quilt for Tammi

A friend of mine commissioned me to make her a memory quilt from her father's shirts. The shirts were mostly flannels, but also a bit of denim and other cotton blends. I kept the layout very simple using 12.5 and 6.5 inch squares. I even used a couple of pockets!

I quilted in family names to make it extra special.

I used a serger for the piecing. 

"grandpa"

I used a navy plaid flannel that I prewashed for the back and the binding. I am happy to report that Tammi and her family absolutely love the quilt and it gets used and loved on the daily!

 

MaryJo's Tula Giraffes

MaryJo made this super fun and bright quilt with some Tula Pink fabric.

I thought the fabric was too busy for much custom quilting, so went with a fun all over designs.

Thanks MaryJo! 

The Mountains are Calling

Sharon made this super adorable quilt for her new grandson called The Mountains are Calling.

She wanted it custom quilted, but still keep it cuddly.

I added lots of texture in the mountains and pine trees.

Swirling winds in the sky.

A fancy sun.

A super cute fox.

The back was dimples minky.

Thanks Sharon!

Mary made this nice table runner. Looks like I only got a shot of half of it.

The back. Thanks Mary!

 

Red White and Blue Streak

Joan made this beautiful patriotic Red White and Blue Streak quilt. 

I custom quilted the border with this leaf and berry design, and used a red, white, and blue variegated thread throughout the quilt.

I love this pattern- a split 9-patch variation block just rotated and flipped into a zig-zag layout.

A look at the back. Thanks Joan!

 

Jelly Roll Race Quilt

Roxanne made this beautiful batik Jelly Roll Race quilt.

I used a light gray thread to quilt all-over paisley designs.

A look at the back. Thanks Roxanne!

 

Julie's Iowa State Quilt

Julie made this amazing Iowa State University quilt for a special grandson.

Go State! Thanks Julie!

Love this sweet little rail fence baby quilt!

Thanks Rita!
