French Braid of the Tropics

It is done!  What a stunning king size quilt!!  Notice the little curved blob at the bottom of the picture....that would be my six month pregnant belly making its way into the shot.

Quilted with Crescents and Swirls in the body of the quilt. I have yet to meet a quilt that does not look great with this overall pattern.   (Click picture to enlarge.)

Ferns in the setting triangles.  (Click to enlarge.)



Doesn't this quilt just make you want to run away to the beach?  Such beautiful batik fabrics in shades of blue.  Mommy's little quilting helper, Jett, is ready to get started!  Excited to be posting my first actual quilt in progress.  Stay tuned for updates...

Lucky Little Girl and Dollie


What a great idea!  With the left over material from creating a baby blanket and changing pad, she made a matching doll blanket and changing pad.  Sounds like a little baby's big sister is going to get a fun gift too.  Quilted with Blooming Paisley pattern.

Georgia On My Mind






Beautiful sampler quilt in Fall colors....ah....Fall colors!! And who is not ready for Fall with this insane heat wave!!!

We decided to go with a Blooming Paisley pattern for the outer border, Curling Vine for the inner border, and a Feathered Curling Vine with Leaves for the main body of the quilt.

My little quilting helper, Jett, insisted on having his picture taken while I was snapping shots of the gorgeous quilt. I must be raising him right. Quilts put a smile on the sweet face of his!
