Anita's Wallhangings- Grinch Hand, Hearts


Anita made a couple more little wallhangings for me to custom quilt. How cute is this Grinch one?!






Anita has made similar wallhangings before. I quilted them very much the same way.



Thanks Anita!

Halloween Kitty


Anita made this adorable little Halloween kitty wallhanging.


Whoopies! This was such a small project that I decided to float it and secure it with a few pins. And then I quilted right through it and just kept on going!



A little ripping and all is well. 


Thanks Anita!

Memory Quilts


Yvonne and a few of her friends were commissioned to make four memory quilts for a family who lost both of their parents recently. We were able to fit two quilts on one wide backing.


Each quilt was sure to have a handkerchief,


a Lions Club, a shirt with their hometown name on it, and part of a special baseball cap.


As well as a printed photo of the couple.


I love how she used wider borders on two sides of the tshirts instead of a narrow border all the way around. It showcases the plaid and striped shirts much better.









They all turned out really nice. Yvonne shared with me the emotional experience the family member had when he picked up the completed quilts. What a special project to be a part of. Thanks Yvonne!

Diane brought me this fun State Fair baby quilt.


This one has a fleece backing and no batting.



A peek at the back. Thanks Diane!


I had my do.good stitches circle mates create a few Scrap Busting quilt blocks. These blocks were quick and fun to make. I made a few more to add on an extra column. It will go together quick whenever I decide to get after it.
