My sister-n-law, who loves Legit Kits, challenged me to move out of my comfort zone and make one of their quilts. She said it’s like putting a puzzle together. So, this was my endeavor and I have to admit, it was fun!

I was gifted a panel with these gorgeous designs by Julie Paschkis. It took a long time to find a pattern that would suit it. Finally discovered the Town Square pattern and it was perfect for showing off her folkloric cats.

Charity Quilt to be donated to someone in Spokane area after show.

I've made a bench pillow for each season except Christmas (too many other pillows). This was a very fun and sparkly project. Loved the red, white, and blue fairy lights. Happy 250th Birthday America!

I made this block-of-the-month using assorted scraps of Tilda fabric. I know that quilting over applique is frowned upon, but it may never have been finished if I waited to figure out how to custom quilt around the appliques.

My husband loves flags (but not quite like Sheldon) so I picked this pattern with him in mind. It was also appropriate for our country's 250th birthday!

I just really loved the patriotic version of this quilt which seemed appropriate for our country’s 250th birthday!

This was a project to stretch my ability to do custom quilting on a large quilt. I found myself grinning as I quilted it. I hope you love it as much as I do.

I changed the outer border which required adding new blocks to the main quilt. I spent many hours redesigning (graph paper) and many, many hours coloring, embroidering, and hand beading the snowflakes. I didn't keep track of my hours but beads (1662)

Aunt Betty passed away before finishing Lincoln's beard, leaving the hoop clamped onto the fabric! I inherited the project and finished embroidering from Lincoln to the end, then pieced and hand-quilted it—just in time for America's 250th.
