This is the quilt I finished for my sister to celebrate her daughter's 25th birthday. Below is a photo of what my niece's puppy did to it. Luckily there were scraps available and I was able to splice in a section of batting and create a new block and backing. Now to replace the quilting!!

Another T-Shirt Quilt

Today I mailed the second of a series of quilts to a family who lost their Wife/Mom/Sister. This one consists of shirts to commemorate trips to Hawaii. There were so many with flip flops on them that I could almost make an entire quilt with them! The quilt pattern I used was, of course, "Flip Flops". I look forward to seeing the next batch!

This is my most recent T-shirt quilt creation. The owner of these shirts collected them on trips she made with her husband. Sadly, she passed away 2 years or so ago. I'm hoping the quilt is a comforting reminder of the adventures they shared.

I made this table setting for my sister, Lori, who is an avid gardener, and loves sunflowers. The fabric is a beautiful batik which I quilted as a whole cloth piece with an allover sunflower design. I cut it into placemats and trivets, then bound them as usual. After Christmas, Lori called and said "You know what would be really nice is matching napkins". So, back to Poppins to buy the remainder of the bolt!!
