Jelly Roll quilt

Sharon — Sun, 23 Dec 2012 22:39:56 GMT

made with 1 set of a jelly roll (plus the extra for an outside border and binding. Backed in Minky for a super-soft & cuddly quilt. Quick & easy to make; it took more time to iron the seams than anything else.

"just a tote"

Sharon — Tue, 30 Oct 2012 17:58:27 GMT

made using the 'new' laminate material (like what those of us old enough to remember called oil cloth, but sooooo much better!) and screen-stuff like you'd find in a pre-made pet carrier (soft and pliable). ignored directions and made the outside be pockets (why would the directions call them pockets, but not have them either sewn down or have openings?) and added the inside pocket. Wish I had made everything from the laminate material, which was pretty easy to sew on. I DID NOT pin it, but used my quilt clips (those little red/clear things) and they worked like a dream at holding the screening and the material.

'Sweet Caroline' pattern for Caroline & Carter

Sharon — Sat, 10 Mar 2012 22:45:14 GMT

I made mom a quilt for while she was expecting Carter. Caroline (the older sister) got one with bugs and quilting is her name, apples, flip-flops -- stuff a 3yr old could recognize. Carter's quilt has dogs, kitties and animals on it. The quilting is the outline of mom, dad & big sister's hands. Mom's, Caroline's & Carter's quilt all have some materials in common, along with the same backing.

Road to Edinburgh - Stars over Scotland

Sharon — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 22:32:24 GMT

After we visited Scotland, I found this pattern at the Quilt Show in Washington (that would be the state, NOT DC). The plaids are from Scotland (it was really HARD to find a fabric store there). The backing is plaid, but I purchased it here. This is a loved quilt (it went to our god-daughter) who, unfortunately, has to have it dry cleaned since the plaids from Scotland are wool.
