O's ladybug garden

O's Ladybug Garden was done for my buddy O in celebration of her 5th birthday.  She will complete chemo treatment in October and hopefully have some rockstar scans in November.

Hot harley nights

The auction ended with 3 bids and a final of $60.  While it wasn't as much as I had hoped for, I was reminded that it was better than a kick in the pants and a good place for me to work forward from.

Next year, king size!

Baby M's Rockstar Quilt

I wanted to try out a carpenter/swoonery star for a baby quilt.  I used no white on this quilt, my quilt lady called it breaking out of my box. :)  I used a simple plain gray minky on the back and a striped binding, striped binding is my new favorite.  Quilted in argyle by myself.

Kindle cover

AMac left for school earlier this summer.  She has plans for a local Vo-Tech college and wanted to get moved so she'd be able to find employment ahead of everyone else who enrolls in the fall.  AMac's mama had a pretty tough go of her last week.  She was pretty emotional, much like most mamas would be.

I wanted to do soemthing nice for her, and as luck would have it, I came across a pattern for a kindle cover that would fit C's new iPad mini.   In an effort to really make her cry, I used scraps leftover from AMacs quilt.

Hot Harley Nights

This was a donation quilt for this year's Hot Harley Nights.  HHN is a huge fundraiser for the Make A Wish Foundation which is pretty dear to my heart.   I wanted to make a bigger quilt thinking it might raise more money, this ended up being slightly larger than a lap size.  Let's see what happens!

Blue Skies baby quilt

This was made for a friend.  She had another bridesmaid dress she wanted made into a quilt.  She found a pattern on pinterest, and i revamped to her taste.

M's first two years

M's mom was nice enough to let me chop up some of her baby clothes and create a first year quilt.  The backing used was purple plaid sparkle.
