Michel's Gingko


It was funny that I got back-to-back Asian lap quilts. This one is Michel's and she chose Blowing Pampas Grass digitized pattern from Legacy Quilting. It is similar to the Clamshell but adds the swaying blades of Pampas Grass.

The backing fabric that Michel sent is the most wonderful Gingko leaves print.

Kathy's Asian with Clams Pattern


Kathy just finished this one. It is from a book whose name escapes me.

Kathy always takes an active part in the quilting process. She likes to review several patterns before she selects the one that she likes the best for that quilt. She chose Clamshell for this one. It is a digitized pattern from Intelligent Quilting.

Kathy also has quite a good eye for thread color. It is always refreshing to have an engaged customer in amongst all my "do your magic" customers. LOL. I like both kinds.

Betty's Flowers and Stars


I have done several quilts for Betty. Her piecing is always impeccable and it is a treat to quilt for her. This one is no exception. It is a fresh and cheerful quilt for a twin sized bed.

It has 3 blocks around a theme of flowers and stars. I used purple, green and white thread. It is all freehand except for the Carnation border (digitized) by Legacy Quilting.



My life has changed in the last couple of years - some bumps, I retired from quilting, and then I moved to Texas. I'm anxious to see what new adventures await me in the next phase of my life.
