Looking for a New Home

 I have an over abundance of quilts.  I enjoy quilts and don't see me stop creating them any time soon.  I still have way too many ideas and fabric waiting to become beautiful pieces.

What do do?  I am offering the following quilts to friends and family.


1. Iced In

This was a test for a local quilt artist.  Many pattern designers will solicit help with new patterns to ensure they are clearly written and have not mistakes.  This pattern was published in 2016.  I completed this quilt in 2024.  It measures 76" x 80"  It fits nicely on my double bed.


2. Flower Mosaic

A zoom class during COVID from another local quilt artist.  This is 22" square and has a sleeve on the back for hanging. Could also be used as a table topper.


3. Funky Flowers

A challenge with a package of fabrics.  The fabrics came with a pattern that I wasn't fond of, so I challenged myself to make something out of my comfort qone.  These funky flowers were all ad-libbed.  This is a double sided quilt with 'orphan' blocks on the back. I almost like the back better than the front.  This was completed in 2022 and measures 37" x 49" - a good size for a lap quilt.












4. Zen Beginner

Made from a bunch of asian inspired prints. This is48" x 59" and was completed in 2022.  It's a good sized lap quilt.


5. Quilting Sampler

This was made from left over scraps drom a quilt I made for a friend's first grandchild. I used it as an exercide to experiment with quilting patterns.  Finished in 2021 it measures 42" x 55".  It would make a good lap or baby quilt.


6. Blue & White Stars and 9-Patches

Finished in 2020, it meausres 54" x 74" - a good cuddle quilt for the couch.


7. Summer Heat

Fabrics and pattern froma  quilty box subscription.  Finished in 2021, measures 44" x 54" - a good lap size or baby quilt.


8. Green Can Be Gorgeous - TAKEN

Green is not ma favorite color.  Stephanie gave me a box of green fabrics with the challenge to make something from them.  This is the result.  It is about 74" square - a good cuddle quilt or mattress topper.



9. Scrap Party

A mystery quilt completed in 2021 using scraps from other projects.  It measures 75" x 92" and fits nicely on my double bed.



10. Asian Applique

This kit was given to me by a friend who fell out of love with it.  I enjoyed making it, but don't really love it either.  Perhaps you do.  It meausres 47" square is hand appliqued and machine quilted.


11. Chicken Quilt

Who doesn't love a chicken and some funky eggs.  It measures 24" x 40" - a good baby sized quilt or wall hanging.
