Square in Square - "Family"
July 2004
Cotton top and back, polyester batting, machine pieced and quilted.
Photos printed on June Tailor Washable Colorfast Printer Fabric
I made this quilt for my grandparents as a housewarming gift. They'd recently moved across the country to be closer to my father, and I wanted them to have something new, and familiar at the same time. I rounded up photos of me, my sister, and my father in various life stages and printed them onto fabric in sepia tone so they would all have something in common. My father suggested the color scheme.

Cotton top and back, polyester batting, machine pieced and quilted
This quilt was inspired by an article in Quilt Magazine, and was an excuse to use the delightful fabrics that come out for Halloween. I made it for a dear friend who likes colorful prints like these as much as I do. It is the first one I've made with curved edges in it, except perhaps for some odd curves in a few of the crazy quilts I made years ago, and was my first to be machine quilted instead of hand tied.

June 2004
Cotton top and back, double thick polyester batting, machine pieced, hand tied
This was the quilt that got me back into quilting after a lapse of several years. I wanted to give my mother-in-law, Cindy, a special birthday gift, and settled on a quilt. My husband helped choose the fabric, and he's the one who picked out the froggies and the little chickens wearing bonnets. The playful spirit of this quilt suits his personality perfectly, which I'm sure his mother appreciates.
After I finished this quilt, we bought a new sewing machine. My old machine is a 30+ year old Montgomery Ward. It weighs a ton, does only two stitches, and hasn't got a light. But it does still sew, as this quilt proves.
