2006 - Jack and Rosemary's quilt for their mission

Jack and Rosemary Wixom were called to be the mission president couple presiding over the Washington, D.C. South Mission in 2006.  I made this quilt in the colors that Rosemary loves and gave it to them with permanent pens with the intention that they would have each missionary sign the quilt before they left for home.  A few years after they arrived home, I was able to take a picture of the back that was signed by all of those missionaries.  Some made quite the statement with their signatures!  Rosemary has told me that it is one of her greatest treasures.

2019 to 2022 Primary Children's Hospital Quilts

Image
Todd Larsen was called to be the branch president of the Primary Children's Hospital branch and he along with Brenda in 2019 and do a fabulous job.  Brenda keeps a closet of donations of blankets, art kits, toys and such to give to families who need a little lift. They put things out on a table so that anyone can take what they need.   They are so good to let me know where they go and so happy when I bring a quilt over. I have given 6 or 7 quilts to Brenda to use at the hospital and she always keeps them to give to "special children".   2022 Minky backing 2022 2019 2019 2019

2022 - Bountiful Harvest

Image
Love this little autumn quilt!  It is made from Riley Blake's fabric line: Bountiful Harvest with a gray background.  The pattern is from the Country Seat Quilts book by Julie Hendricksen and Vickie Gerike called Harvest Pumpkins.  I saw this quilt last fall at Pine Needles Quilt Shop and loved it.  Their choice of fabrics was perfect.   I bought a layer cake fabric pack for Stacie for her birthday and the book.  Then, I wanted to make it as well and ordered my own fabric.  It was fairly straight forward.  I redesigned the stars to be faster and easier to make and it was finished in no time.  I love it! quilted by Karen Morgan

2020 Glenn's Birthday quilt

Image
When I saw this llama pattern, I was hooked and had to make it.  There is quite the llama silliness in our family and Glenn is the one who usually promotes it.  This was an Elizabeth Hartman pattern, Lloyd and Lola.  I had a struggle getting the colors on the stripes right.  The hanging lanterns looked problematic but once started, they weren't that bad.  It is a cute pattern and fun to give.  I put a very soft black minky on the back.  It is a great cuddle quilt.  Anyone can tell it's a tennis racquet! Ah, Star Wars!  Thanks Matt! You only turn 40 once.
