Blogs are written for a variety of reasons. In the fall of 2014 I was bitten by the quilting bug. While attending Long Arm University in Seattle it was recommended we do a blog to promote our quilting, and so my blog began. I wanted to use the blog to share my journey quilting, however the blog evolved into something totally different. It seems to share a journey, but it's a journey about piecing my life together. In trying to use the blog as it was originally intended, I'll periodically share some of my quilting journey. Below are three quilts I have made in the last 6 months.
This quilt was made for my daughter for Christmas 2015. I used 2 jelly rolls, and chose white as the background fabric.
This quilt was started at a retreat at Mt. Eagle, north of Clinton, AR, in the fall of 2015. It was finished and given to my son for Christmas 2015. The pattern is called 'spinning stars'. I picked up the pattern in Mountain View at the Ozark Folk Center a couple years ago. I'd hung onto the pattern, and finally got the opportunity to do something with it.
My grandson loves dinosaurs, so I made this for him. I found the dinosaur print at a garage sale, and couldn't pass it up. In December, at the Arkansas Quilters Guild meeting in Little Rock, Donna Robertson with 'Fabric Cafe' was the speaker. She had a pattern book with 3 yard economy quilts for kids. This pattern was in the book. I modified her pattern a little to get the most use out of my size of dinosaur print.
