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. 💚

Found the quilt top in a kit at a local shop. Got lucky and found the matching cuddle backing at another shop across town. This was a made few years ago and for a sweet great-nephew. He loves it!

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.

If I win the lottery, I won't tell anyone but there will be signs... mostly 100% flax linen quilts with bamboo batting.
Pure indulgence.

Holy quilt, Batman! 🦇
This is the latest, but not last, pixel quilt I've made.
Gifted to my BIL who is a lifelong, you guessed it, Batman fan. I mixed in several black-on-black fabrics to give the background that night sky dimension. 🖤
