Cardinal tote bag

Patti — Tue, 18 Dec 2012 04:04:00 GMT

Tote bag has 6 paper-pieced cardinals. This took forever to make! I severely underestimated how long it would take to make it and I'm so glad that it's finally done! There is a cardinal Christmas pin on the front, in case anyone is wondering what that is! This will be a Christmas gift for my husband's aunt.

Diamond Head quilt

Patti — Tue, 13 Nov 2012 02:16:08 GMT

I made this quilt for a high school friend who has been battling a rare form of cancer for more than 25 years. The photo shows the front of the quilt, the back of the quilt, and the photo of my friend, Sarah, that inspired the fabric choices. The pattern is called Diamond Head by Daniela Stout for Cozy Quilt Designs. I quilted it on my longarm with a spiral pattern. I'm not a fan of patterns where I have to make the same block over and over again, so this was a real labor of love! :-D

Patti's Walk for Life Banner

Our church women's group made this banner to carry in a Walk for Life fundraiser in October 2006. The center section (the baby) is a Patrick Lose pattern. The pregnant woman and the toddler were original designs. The woman has real beads for her necklace and her bracelet and the toddler's hair is 3-D.
