A Farmer's life is filled with harsh truths. Labor is tough, the hours are long, and nature sometimes just doesn't want to cooperate. But at the end of it all; when you reap what you sow, every hour of you spent on your farm feels truly worth it.

When I saw these stars I immediately thought of making them out of gold satin. This pattern is paper pieced.

I loved this very graphic design. I used a variety of red and pink fabrics from my stash to mimic the look of striped roses in my garden.

I wanted to design a quilt to feature my collection of beautiful doilies. This quilt includes appliqué, trapunto and piecing.

The first time I saw this, I was mesmerized. I just had to make it. The quilting is a combination of hand-guided free motion and rulers. I love how it turned out.

This was my first time making a quilt using all wovens. The front, back, and binding are all wovens that put off a different color depending on what angle you look at them. I used a bamboo blend batting to make a light and airy summer quilt.

Ive bought many blocks of the month over the years but this is the first that I've actually completed. Made using Wilmington Prints Batiks.

With the theme of baskets my mind automatically went to flowers and my garden. Hopefully this primitive appliqué basket represents that.

Every year Quilt Patch Lane hosts their 2nd Saturday Sampler. I’ve been participating for a few years now. I really love how this one turned out. It was quilted using hand-guided free -motion and rulers. It took 12 hours to quilt.

Totally fell in love with this lovable bear panel, in fact, I swear he followed me thru the 2024 WSQ show. Gave in, bought the kit and pieced it learning lots about bear paw blocks, fussy cutting and accuracy in squaring up!! Tons of fun tho
