J's tshirt quilt

J contacted me about making a tshirt quilt from her favorite high school basketball, dance adn figure skating shirts.  This was my first, so yes, it's one of my favorites.  I love the bright colors, there's a black and white zebra on the back.

Junebug needed in on the action as well.

Baby Sparks KU Jayhawk blankie

Another minky quilt.  This one went to Omaha for a friend's new little guy.  He was born a big Jayhawk fan. 

Baby Tollefson's Vikings minky quilt

I have a love hate relationship with these minky sports quilts.  I hate sewing with minky.  HATE it.  It is such a pain in the rear but they always end up looking so cute.

This Vikings quilt was done for my cousin .  Her hsuband and soon to be little beast are Vikings fans.  They have decided to stay gender neutral until they find out when HE arrives.  Mark my words, it's a BOY! 

Creepy Christmas doll quilt

My good friend LJ has had this pattern and fabric sitting in her stash for a long time.  I volunteered to make it for her.  This was my first time trying out stars, flying geese, and log cabins.  it took some adjustment but I got it finished and she was happy with it.

Countryside Hospice raffle quilt

I named the quilt "Hope is Powerful".  This was a collaberative effort between me, my folks, and our friend Shawn.  This quilt was donated for a raffle to our local hospice organization to help raise money for transportation costs for their clients.  The 14 colors used in the quilt represent different types of cancer. 

ALL proceeds go back into the community to help with travel for cancer treatments. $88,655 has been gifted in the last fiscal year for travel funds for cancer patients who must leave our community for care.

Baby Newcomb's quilt

I had two orders for these bridesmaid refurb quilts in 1 week.  My buddy D wanted something to gift back to her now-expecting bride.  Only requirements were that the quilt be gender neutral.  I think it turned out well.  I did notice after I had it bound that I didn't quite make the Jacob's ladder pattern correctly, I'll get it next time.

Bertsch Baby quilt

The black on this quilt was originally a bridesmaid dress.  My friend S. wanted to refurb her bridesmaid into a baby quilt to regift back to the now-expecting bride.  She's a big fan of chevron, so mod chevron it was.  I wasn't sure how blue zebra was going to match with a brown giraffe print but I loved it when done. 

Mom and baby also love it.

Sparks baby quilt

I made this using the sparkle plenty baby quilt pattern found on Etsy.  I used Robert Kaufman solids

 

 

Sparks wedding quilt

This is a wedding quilt I made for my friend's wedding.  I used the Michael Miller/Patty Young Sanctuary fabric line.  I'm obsessed with these fabrics.  The pattern was from Elizabeth Hartmann's Oh Fransson blog.

Mary's retirement quilt

This was a fun retirement quilt for my coworker's retirement.  Mary loves the log cabin style quilts and star quilts.  This was perfect since it incorporated both.

Arielle's senior quilt

This is my cousin's senior quilt.  Initially i was going to have her use it as a guestbook...but then after I got it back from my quilter and finished the binding, I couldn't bear the thought of people writing on it.  AMac got a denim quilt for a guestbook instead. :)

I LOVE the sanctuary line from Michael Miller/Patty Young collection.  This is the second quilt I've made from that one line. SO FUN!

Abram's baby quilt

My friend J was expecting her very first child and wanted something fun for Baby Abram's crib.  I was so honored to make this for her and her little man.  The mustache tag says it all.
