Sewing studio make over


We repurposed our old kitchen table base with a piece of pre-laminated particle board we bought and had cut to size at Lowes. Now my cutting table won't have to share space with my machine. The new table is about 3" lower than the cutting table was which is a MUCH more comfortable height. Now I need to organize my stash. It is now a much more functional space. I love it and can't wait to get to work!

Two New Memorial Quilts For A Little Superhero




After a month long illness that landed me in the hospital for 5 days, I'm finally back to work!  Here are the last two of four quilts for a an awesome family that sadly lost their superhero son.  These two quilts are for the parents so I tried to make them match.  One has a superhero theme and the other a jungle theme made from the little boy's clothes, sheets and curtains.  This project has been a real labor of love!  I know they will get many years of comfort from these quilts.

Baby Quilt on a Rainy Day

It was a lovely and rare rainy day here so I used a couple of hours of it to make this baby quilt for a friends boss.

Memorial Quilt for a Very Dear Friend

I am starting another memorial quilt.  This one is for a very dear friend that lost her daughter several years ago.  I received several dresses, shirts and pants of hers.  They are all solids so I will be adding some prints to compliment them and add some excitement.  I'll be using Ticklish fat quarters that I got from Fatquartershop.com.

Here is another memorial quilt I was asked to make for a very sweet family.  It is from the grandchildren to a grandma that just lost their grandpa.  I know this will bring her lots of comfort.
