Quilt Gallery

Since I retired, I have been making quilts.

Retirement quilt project #10

Have you heard of Craftsy.com?  They have great quilting classes, as well as cooking, needlework and crafts.  I quilted this "practice quilt" using what I learned in the Continuous Line Quilting class.

Retirement Quilt Project #11

 

I made this king-sized Ohio Star quilt for us.  I quilted it in two halves and put them together at the end, according to instructions in a Craftsy class.  I don't expect to ever make one this big again, but I'm quite happy with how it turned out.

Kaffe Fassett Garden Trellis (RQP#12)

 I saw this advertised as a kit and loved the vibrant colors in the Kaffe Fassett fabrics.  I'm not totally in love with the finished project, but it was fun to do and I practiced free-motion quilting.

Below are birds for Morgan.
