Week 11

This week I used a quick panel and donated chenille on the back. I made the quilt the size of the chenille by cutting sashing to fit.

49" X 30"

Week 10

 I used 6 fat quarters cut into 8 1/2" blocks to make this quilt.  The quilting is a pattern I used with my embroidery machine.

40" X 56"

Newborn Baby Cap

I finished this crochet cap much faster than I could learn to knit one!

Week 9

This week I finished up a donated top using up some icky polyester batting.

40" X 50"

Week 8

This week I finished two companion tops that will be our first Comfort Quilts. I purchased two 5 yard pieces of fabric that I used to make these Irish Chain quilts.  The blocks are 9" finished and the 9 patch blocks are 3" finished. I will be sending them out to our new long-arm quilting volunteer.

45" X 63"

Week 7

This top was donated from the quilt shop on St. Simons Island, Georgia. The colors are even prettier than in the picture!

40" X 40"

Week 6

This quilt top was donated with the quilting already started. I finished up the quilting using a free-motion wave pattern.

48" X 39"

Week 5

Ocassionally, on super busy weeks, I will be doing a panel. By cutting off the damaged part of this donated panel, I have a quick, cute quilt.

25" X 39"

Week 4

This quilt is made out of an old quilt that I had plus the addition of the 2 rows of star blocks.

54" X 90"

Week 3

I made this quilt with donated fabric and chenelle. I used flannel instead of batting because the chenelle is so heavy. The four panels were already cut to this size which account for the odd shape of this quilt. The colors work nicely together but don't photograph very well.

33" X 60"

Leigh's Elephant Bag

I made this for Leigh out of fabric she had left over from a project. The embroidered "JOY" on the inside of the bag was 35,307 stitches.

The bag is about 15" square and the strap is about a 40" drop.

Week 2

The Week 2 quilt is two donated tops that someone used for free motion quilting practice. I finished quilting the piece and bound it with extra binding that I had on hand. The fabric says "2000 - Happy New Millennium" and is covered in M&M characters.
