Preemie Quilts

Reap What You Sew is a quilt group in Phoenix, AZ that makes quilts all year and distributes mostly to children's charities. These are some of the preemie quilts I made with donated materials. People are always giving me materials because they know I quilt for charity. I'm also known as the "queen of scraps" at RWYS.

Sheila's Girls

This is a special quilt for a special friend. I had traced the hand prints of my friend's daughter and granddaughters and finally had to ask her for her hand print. I told her to ask no questions, but she would find out later. This quilt was the result. At the base of each hand print is a heart with their name and birthdate in machine embroidery. On the back, the label is my hand print. The quilt is machine applique and machine quilted. The fabrics reflects some of my friend's hobbies...fossils, collecting geckos, and her favorite colors.

My son wanted an OSU Buckeyes quilt for his 3rd son, so I created this quilt. There is machine applique as well as machine embroidery. The quilt is machine quilted. I've also made this as a wall hanging for a friend.

Sing to the Lord

Our Women in Mission has a convention every couple years. I have had the honor of being asked to make the quilt/banner to represent our local group. At the end of the convention the quilts are given to the local pregnancy crisis center. This quilt has machine applique, machine quilting that echos the wording in the center. Two of the fabrics have musical instruments and bugs playing musical instruments. The design is my own. God has been merciful and given me grace since my car accident 4 years ago, so I consider this a very special honor to have been asked to make this quilt.
