Quilt #8
This Huge quilt-top bedspread was completed in June 2026. The quilted top made of family jeans was completed about three years ago but was put aside when my nephew needed a place to stay for over a year. It is on a queen-sized bed and has no batting. The backing is flannel so it stays where it is put quite nicely, sipping down one side or the end in the middle of the night. My largest and heaviest quilt yet.
Quilt # 7
This quilt was finished in November 2025. It was by far my most ambitious project. I had never before quilted with sashes, nevermind cornerstones. I also hand-quilted around the bunny images.
The Bugs Bunny fabric was leftover from when my daughter made herself some pj shorts. I gave it to her for her third daughter who was born at Easter 2025.
The only fabric I bought was the purple for sashing and border- everything else I had on hand from donations.
Quilt #6
The lilac fabric is light taffeta that was the bottom of a floor-length flower-girl dress that my sister wore for my and my husband’s wedding over 35 years ago.
I am offering it to my sister’s daughter who is only 4 years old.
The backing and border are from fabric donated by my brother’s girlfriend who inherited a favorite aunt’s cache of fabric when she unexpectedly passed away.
Quilt #5.
The top fabrics are all poly-cotton blend except for the fuchsia patches which are lame satin. The batting is just white fleece (new) and the backing is a very light-weight satiny lining type of fabric, donated by my brother’s girlfriend. I quilted along the edges of the pink patches with a fuchsia thread. I used the outer portions of a purple fitted sheet (the middle was worn) for the border. It was very easy to tear into perfect strips.
Quilt # 4
Quilt number 4, made of sweatshirt-type fleece. Very soft! Crib-sized. Spot quilted in corners of squares.
Finally finished!
Backing is grey sweatshirt fabric and the edging is soft ribbing I had for 20 +years.
Quilt number 3 - crib sized made of stretchy but soft fabric.
Quilt #3
Quilt #2
The purple squares are the same as the backing fabric but the lighting makes it look more blue. The light pink patches are floral satin.
Quilt #2 for 5 year-old grand-daughter who loves purple and whose room is painted the icy blue of Disney’s Frozen.
Quilt #1
Quilt number 1 for our Grandson. His room is green and black with a white stripe. He likes soft blankets. All of this fabric was donated by my brother’s girlfriend - even the lovely heavy satin backing which is fleeced on the other side. The edging is black satin lame.
Fleece bed roll

What to do with a old fleece sheet and 5 old pillows?
6 seams create 5 pockets that can house pillows for a comfy kids’ bed roll for sleep-overs or cozy family TV evenings.

For an integrated pillow…
two folds
To keep the pillows from easily slipping out. the fleece sheet was folded twice lengthwise:
This is the door sign designed and painted for my newest grand-daughter as a gift for her first Christmas. My other two grand-children were given metal and vinyl door signs made by a little company in Yuma AZ. We were not able to visit Arizona this year due to the pandemic so I had to improvise. I like the result.
Two choices of crocheted baby blankets for grand-child #3 due in August.
My grand-mother’s teacup made into a pin cushion, and a 2L plastic bottle cap made into a finger/thumb pincushion. Both very handy.
