    Midnight Rose in Bloom

    September 22, 2025 /

    We decorated for Halloween inside my house already this year. One of the things I like to do is change out the quilts on the wall for each season. I did not have a large enough quilt for the “big” wall for Halloween. This made me get in gear to complete this quilt. This quilt is the perfect size for this wall in my living room. I did not notice the error in the upper right-hand corner of the quilt until it had been on the wall for a few days. Oh well… creative license, right? And here is the back. This was such a cute quilt! Related Images:

    Fleur-de-lis Flourish

    May 19, 2022 /

    This quilt was one of my first appliqued quilts. I still really do not like applique (machine or hand), but the way my friend Jo-Anne taught me, makes it a little bearable by hand. The applique pattern is from Sue Garmen. The fabric is a line from French General – French General Favorites. It has small Fleur-de-lis all throughout the fabric – I felt it was perfect for the quilt. Being in Hawaii influenced my quilting style, as did being around my quilt bee group, the Sassy S&B (stitch and bitch) Quilters. I probably would have never tried this quilt without the support of those ladies, especially Jo-Anne – thank you! Related Images:

    Lucky Stars

    April 27, 2022 /

    For throwback Thursday, I am sharing a quilt that I made about 19 years ago. It is the setting of one of my most favorite photos of my daughter when she was a baby. The fabrics are various Moda Marbles in pastels. I was part of an online quilting group. We had a birthday FQ exchange where we sent a FQ of the person’s choice. I didn’t know if I was having a boy or a girl but something told me that I wanted to use these fabrics for a baby quilt. The pattern is Lucky Stars by Atkinson Designs. A good friend of mine quilted it for me as I was still very new to quilting. Related Images:
