This is a recued quilt top. I don't know its story but the quilter who pieced it had a lot of ambition. Here's to new beginings!

The center of Annette's Rose is a design by my niece, Tracy. Originally a minature quilt that Annette made and w juried into Road to California Quilt Show. Tracy and I expanded the design to honor Annette who lost her battle with cancer.

I made this quilt because I wanted to share the joy of daisy's in the spring.

Old cowboy material use to create the quilt.

I found the panel at a sewing day with my church group and then took it with me on a shop hop to find the other fabrics. I put it all together and quilted it with variegated thread matching the colors of the quilt.

I purchased this quilt top at an INMQ sale because I was intriqued by the embroidery. We will never know why Mamie never finished her star or how it ended up in Spokane. I enjoyed finishing it for her almost 100 years later.

I started with a strip of an antique quilt that was made up of 14 blocks that were falling apart. Please read the story board for a complete story on this quilt.

On July 4, 1776, 13 Colonies became a Constitutional Republic known as The United States of America. As we celebrate our Nations 250th birthday, I choose to use my INMQ Quilting Challenge to commemorate the signing of the Declaration of Independence

Our quilt group did a "block a Month" project with Lori Holt's Vintage Farm Girl book. 6 inch and 12 inch blocks …so fun, with the addition of a mix of other blocks I found…..it became a few of my favorite things.

This was a black of the month that I struggled to finish due to so many blocks each month. It is far from perfect but was definitely a challenge for me. I could barely fit it on my 10 ft long arm frame.
