I have been teaching quilting for the past 15 years. I really enjoy sharing my love of quilting with others.
I have been busy quilting this past year. I was inspired by the yahoo group stashbusters to finish several of my unfinished projects so here is what I have completed so far this year! (Only 2 months left I hope to finish at least 2 more).
These two pictures are of a quilt I made for my daughter's friend. I just love how the label turned out! I used a b/w graphic from pchug club and then colored the fabric. I think it's a great way to welcome a new little one!
This is a companion quilt that I also made at the same time.
This was made to be displayed at Regalitos, the local quilt shop in Jackson Michigan. It will go to a grandchild someday.
Dorothy Young sponsors a mystery quilt several times a year. This was her valentines mystery for 2006. I just love how she takes the time to make sure the directions are accurate, it makes doing a mystery so much more exciting knowing that it will turn out!
This is a nickel quilt that I recently finished. It is the Jacobs Ladder design. I taught a nickel quilt club. I love the contrast with the brights and the black background.
I have also had a hand in quilt designing this year. I have published and taught three classes on the 5- one yard pieces of fabric theme.
This quilt was made with fabric from my daughters dresses that they wore as babies. Now which one gets the Quilt? I really stash busted on this one, I did have to purchase fabric for the border but that's it.

WOW! I wish I had that many completed things to show (emphasis on the FINISHED!) Welcome to blogging. I love the Nickel quilt...prolly because I am enthralled by the blacks and brights. I'm working on my 2nd one in those colors. My house is NOT bright...wonder where they will go!!?
Welcome to blogland! You are a quilting machine too. The quilts are all beautiful, but I especially like the Jacob's Ladder and the last two you posted. Are those two the pattern you had so graciously offered on Stashbuster long ago? I printed it for 'someday' but never made one . Seeing 'the designer's vision' in fabric makes me want to do one. Very pretty.
That's what I love about Stashbusters is it really inspired me to finish the some of the many quilt tops that I had. When you teach classes you end up with several tops. Now that I am finishing them it's taken on a life of it's own. It really feels great to finish them. This is my second year in the UFO group. I hope to only need another year to be totally caught up!
