Mary's Projects

Thanks to some mechanical problems, Mary (my sister-in-law) found herself stranded at our house for a few days. She made good use of her time by finishing up some projects!

I can't take any credit for the pumpkin (wish I could). I just admire Mary's workmanship!


Here is a finished One Block Wonder.


And this is how Mary used up a few extra blocks.







Karen's Quilts

More quilts made by one of my prolific sisters. Aren't these "woven ribbons" cool?

This is a good way to use up scrap strips!


This is an eye spy. I like the irregular blocks.


Karen made 2 sports ball quilts. One for her son and one for her son-in-law.







Cindy's Quilts

This is a sweet quilt that Cindy whipped up from fabric samples. It is quilted with "Fantastic Feather".
This is a mystery quilt Cindy made as a bee project.


It is quilted with "Aloha" flowers

Camp Stitchee Gume/ Fall 2011

We had 7 family members for Camp this fall. We were cozy in Milwaukee. Brother-in-law Dave took the week off to cook for us! Here are some of us posing with my son's wedding quilt that we constructed. Many other projects were stitched as well. For a small sampling, see the next 4 posts.


Mary's Quilts

Mary made this Yellow Brick Road for her dog-crazy granddaughter in an afternoon/evening.

It has luscious Minkee backing.


Another granddaughter will get this fun One Block Wonder.


She lives in Florida. Here's a close-up of some of the fishies.







Karen's Sports Balls

Karen and I saw this idea at a quilt show and both wanted to make one for our sports fans. I am still "collecting fabric". Karen actually got it made!

Lari's baby quilt

Lari has 5 grandsons - and now FINALLY a granddaughter! What a sweet way to celebrate.

Diana's Gift

Diana made this for her grandson at camp in about 1 solid day of stitching. She asked me to quilt it with glow-in-the-dark thread because she knows from her granddaughter's quilt that it encourages bed-making. (you get the best glow if it is flat)

Sue's Gift

As long as I had the glow-in-the-dark thread on the machine for the previous quilt, I also used it on this quilt for Sue's grandchild. The fabrics of this quilt are really fun and playful.

This is what the quilting looks like when the lights are off!



Nina's Double Wedding Ring

Nina is on a quest to use up her scraps.

This sweetie is quilted with the Awesome Blossom pantograph.
