Baby Dots 1

6 05 2010

This child’s quilt is perfect for crib, stroller, car, or Grandma’s house.   The colors are bright, the pattern simple, and children can learn their colors by playing on it.  I found a collection of polka dot fabrics in so many colors, I had to make something that used all of them.





Pinwheel Set

This pair of ornamental quilts is a study in dimension.  The high contrast colors of red, black and cream make pinwheels with lots of motion.  Hang one on a wall and place its mate on a table to bring drama to the dining room.





Holiday Railfence

9 04 2010

This bright darling of a quilt can be used as a table runner, a wall hanging, or to decorate a banister, or  grace the back of your favorite chair during the holidays.  Red and black dominate, with added greens, golds, and creams.





Tumbling Blocks

9 04 2010

This is a fun, bright colored quilt to perk up any bedroom.  I used yellow, green and red to dominate the design.  Watching for the “light source direction” in the placement of the blocks creates the illusion of a stack of a child’s building blocks.





Plaid Tumblers

This warm and cozy quilt was made from tumbler shaped pieces, in a large vareity of home spun plaids.  The soft edge created by the piece shapes is enhanced with bias binding.





Vicky’s Pinwheel

This table runner was made of triangles in the Christmas colors of red, green, and cream.  Five pinwheels align, alternating bright and subdued colorways.  Pieced borders and dedcorative stitching complete the piece.





Baby Jewel

This sweet quilt was a gift for a baby girl.  Its stair-step pattern staggers the soft pinks and greens on a diagonal in alternating colors.  Stitching around the border creats the illusion of a pieced border.





Baby Rattles

5 04 2010

This is an example of a one block quilt.  I used a collection of 1930’s reproduction prints in an assortment of colors and patterns to create a baby quilt that is all softness.  I took all my clues from the curved shape of the pieces.





Christmas Table Topper

5 04 2010

This piece in red, black, cream has smaller details of green and gold.  This simple project is great for beginning quilters as it uses squares, outline quilting and decorative stitching





Red Stars

5 04 2010

Quilt made of two-inch squares of high-contrast colors of cream and red.  The stars are created by small patches of red, in a field of cream colored shirting fabrics.  The stars themselves are boldly hand quilted.
