Here is a few photos from our retreat. We really need to move to the mountains - it is so peaceful!

Batik Quilt

This is what I am hand quilting now. I basted it in June (?) and I'm already quilting the borders! It is a pattern from Bonnie Hunter... I forgot the name....

Garden Fence

This is my Garden Fence quilt all cut out. It is a QAL from McIntyre on Yahoo. I didn't cut out the white solid pieces yet but you can get the idea.

Another finish!


It might seem like I have an unusual amount of finishes for a short period of time but really I let quilts pile up before I put the binding on. This is another one that was hand quilted. I used up a lot of floral fabric in this!

Parisian Hourglass Quilt



A new finish! This is handquilted by me and is about a lap size. I used flannel as the backing so it is soooo soft!

String quilt






I finished this string quilt a few years ago and tied it VS quilting it for a quicker finish. I used up a lot of scraps making this but I still have a never ending battle with the scrap bin!

A patriotic finish!

OK, I admit this was completed to late for Memorial Day or July 4 but won't it look pretty on my kitchen table NEXT year? LOL...

Eight more 36 Patch blocks

I really like how this is turning out. I am only on week 2 doing 8 blocks per week but I can see this quilt becoming one of my favorites.

Christmas Quilt

I started this 3 or 4 years ago! It is hand quilted (no money for someone else to do it) and it pretty much used up my Christmas scraps. What do you think?
