Some quilts I've made and works in progress.
I find joy in making quilts and delight in gifting to those I love.

Currently in my "heavy sigh" stage of life... Taking a moment to breathe and reflect.

It's been three years now. This is one of the simplest yet most treasured quilts—made for Mom using Dad's shirts. She naps with it daily and has expressed a wish to be buried with it. He didn't have much money, yet he was rich, generous and kind beyond measure.

My daughter needed a Christmas present for her cousin a few years ago, so we came up with this snowball quilt. The best part was watching how much fun she had and the care she put into hand-picking each piece of fabric. 💚

Wonky Log Cabin Quilt. It's so subtle and sweet in person, but the low contrast pink and white fabrics just don't photograph very well.

No pattern... just made it up.
Top and backing is Free Spirit fabric.
