Magic - King Size


This is another quilt in the style my Grandmother would have made. She used whatever she had to make quilts. I really like this quilt. It has a lot of movement and the patterns you see constantly changes, just like magic.



Take a look and leave me your comments!

Oh My Stars







Becky and I have been working on these Stars quilts for a while. All the fabric has stars, silver stars, gold stars, red stars, blue stars, yellow stars, black stars . . . . Even the backing, binding AND quilting is stars. The larger quilt is a twin size and the other is a lap quilt.

Pretty Blue Quilt




The pretty blue quilt top is finished. The backing is ready to go and both will be on the quilting table soon!


Look at the stack sitting on my work table. This is the next quilt I am making.

Preview of a Coming Attraction


Went to Galveston, TX this past weekend. The Lone Star Rally was going on in town. The Galv News said 400,000 people attended the rally this year. The rally was in addition to the two cruise ships docked over the weekend. It was a lot of fun! There were motorcycles everywhere.
Can you guess what I might be doing with the t-shirt in the picture? Stay tuned for more clues.

Pretty Blue Quilt







The blue laurel wreath blocks are done. There are only 12, but each block has 49 pieces! Started assembling the quilt top and it is pretty. Also, finished 13 blocks of the second quilt. Put it aside for the moment while I finish the blue quilt.

The start of two quilts





















Two projects are in progress. The pretty blue Laurel Wreath blocks are for a Chritmas present quilt. The multi-color blocks are for another quilt in the style my grandmother would have made (read about her in my prior entries). I enjoy making quilts with pieces of fabric that seemed to small to keep.












Sam and Baby continue to manage the projects. Baby sits on her quilt on a chair under my work table and Sam sits in the window!

Queen size Log Cabin Quilt







I have been attempting to make quilts my grandmother would have made. This Log Cabin quilt was made with leftover fabric from many, many projects.
