Motorcycle T-Shirt Quilt
T-Shirt quilts are one of my favorite quilts to make. Well, ok, they are all my favorite! Rounded up a group of motorcycle shirts and some flame fabric. The backing looks like chrome.

Christmas Quilts
Some fabric is too fantastic to cut up. Here are two of them. The Coyote Choir fabric is one of my favorites. The quilt has a border of cowboy boots with red and green Christmas trees! The second one has cowboy snowmen! The border says HoHoHo.

Texas State Fair Winner!!!!
The Texas State Fair is one of the largest in the country and is a lot of fun. We always go to the car show, try the food winners (Deep Fried Cheesecake is my all time favorite), look at all the new quilting machines and walk about 50 miles around the fair grounds!
This year I entered a quilt in the State Fair competition and won second place. Woo Hoo. The quilt is called Christmas Jars and it is quilted all over in gold thread. The jars and the lids are zig zag and the white background is quilted heavily to give it a gilded look.

Charlie Brown Christmas
While browsing the Blue Ribbon Quilt Shop in Wylie, TX, they showed me Charlie Brown Christmas fabric. I loved it! The quilt was finished quickly and my friend fell in love with the quilt and bought it.
I did manage to take a couple pictures before she grabbed it!

Queen size Fusion Quilt
I love making quilts with lots and lots of pieces! This quilt kept me busy for a few weeks! Just listed on etsy, but a picture of the backing wouldn't fit. Since the top is soooooo nice, I didn't want to use a picture of the back on the Etsy site!

Whose Wine, What Wine Quilt
During one of my shopping trips to fabric stores (my weakness) I saw this wine fabric. The Peter Frampton song, Whose Wine, What Wine started running through my head. I had to buy the fabric AND the matching wine bottle border fabric.
Since I bought the fabric without a plan in mind, had to find a setting to make it shine. The Attic Window pattern was perfect. The wine bottles, casks, labels and glasses are the focol point and they look great. I was very pleased with the results.
The front is quilted with buttered rum thread and the back has spanish moss green thread. Love the names of the colors!
This is definitely art that will keep you warm!
