I thought I would make something a little different. I love trees, especially birches so I make some blank note cards with birches in the designs of 4 seasons.

2011-10-03T10:16:00.000-07:00

I keep trying to catch up on all the quilt designs I want to try. I have enough on my list to last 2 lifetimes. Here are a couple of new ones I finally finished.

2011-08-31T10:41:00.000-07:00

I decided to list another Bold And Beautiful Quilt in my Etsy store. This one has a green and purple backing with set in stripes and a green and yellow striped border. Double bed size

2011-05-03T04:09:00.000-07:00

A new quilt made with Kaffe Fassett fabrics. I love his choice of bright colors!

2011-04-25T12:27:00.000-07:00

This has to be one of my favorite quilts so far. I love the New York Beauty blocks and the different ways they can be arranged.

2011-04-16T10:38:00.000-07:00

More new bags in my Etsy store

2011-04-14T14:27:00.000-07:00

I don't very often make baby quilts but I wanted to use some strips that I've been collecting. It can also be a lap quilt.

2011-04-14T14:24:00.000-07:00

These are my newest bags. I'm trying to make as many as I can for a craft show in June.

I wanted to make a small piece of my Bold and Beautiful Quilt and came up with this bag for a customer. Then I made one for my Etsy store too. I love the way they came out.

2011-03-04T07:12:00.000-08:00

Another quilt finished is my "selvage circles". I've been wanting to do a selvage project for a long time and finally finished one!! I think it was well worth the effort.

2011-03-04T07:10:00.000-08:00

I just finished binding my newest quilt "pickled silly". Modern fabrics make this old design really pop!

2011-01-13T10:12:00.000-08:00

This is my first challenge quilt. I've never tried one before and I have to admit I really enjoyed it.

A couple of new Items in my Etsy store for Valentine's Day.

2010-12-03T14:36:00.000-08:00

Christmas is my favorite time of year with all the decorations and family get togethers. Here is a new table runner I made to add to my etsy shop. I rarely make Holiday items but I loved this design and made one for my girlfriend. Then decided I needed one for the shop too.

2010-11-23T18:53:00.000-08:00

I've added some winter hats and mittens to my Etsy shop. From size 1 baby to medium/large women.

As the cooler weather moves in, I've been thinking about the things that I would like to accomplish this winter. I don't go out much in cold weather because I find it hard to warm back up. I've been trying to design some new items to put in my Etsy store but I also need to start making Christmas gifts. I now have a whole notebook of ideas to try and thought today would be a good day to start playing with them.

I have also added a few new items to my store this week. I have several more quilts still at the quilter's that I'll be adding soon.

2010-09-19T11:02:00.001-07:00

2010-09-19T10:53:00.000-07:00

This is one of my newest bags for 2010. Pretty pink and green flowers on a black background.

2010-08-13T11:14:00.000-07:00

I finally finished and listed a new quilt in my Etsy Store!! It's been a long time but there are more coming.
This one is a chevron design in Kaffe Fassett fabrics mixed with a few other stripes. It is a double/queen size.

2010-07-25T19:26:00.000-07:00

I would like to introduce Moranartandquilts on etsy. I love her originality and color choices. I have included a picture of one of my favorite pieces.

I've finally added a few new purses to my Etsy store.

2010-06-02T07:40:00.000-07:00

Love this handle. It has a turn latch closure! I haven't found any more yet. I also love the bright green and orange fabric of this roomy bag.

Signs of Spring

2010-03-21T11:35:00.000-07:00

I love all the signs of Spring so I decided to use some fabrics I found recently to create some new items for my Etsy store. I used birds and butterflies for the first few items.

2010-03-21T11:27:00.000-07:00

I've added a couple of new quilts to my Etsy shop this week. The first is a pretty peach pink, romantic, double sized quilt. It has touches of chocolate brown for contrast. I've named it "romance" for obvious reasons.

The second quilt is a twin sized that can be used as a double throw quilt. It is made with rich Fall colors of red, green, orange and creams in a pinwheel design.

Both quilts were machine quilted by QuiltLover.

Pillowcase challenge

2010-02-18T05:46:00.000-08:00

My ETSY team, Quiltsy, is joining with thousands of others to make pillowcases for needing causes. We have decided to add ours to help the victims of Haiti. We encourage everyone to get involved and donate a pillowcase. THe goal is 1,000,000 cases. Many local quilt shops across the country are also participating locally to help shelters and needy in their local areas and states.

I urge everyone to join and make a case for someone! There are patterns available on- line for free.

I will add my cases to this blog later this week.

My new pillow covers

2009-06-04T17:25:00.000-07:00

I decided to add a new line to my etsy shop today. My first two pillow covers are the same design as my "multi-striped quilt". I love doing these color family strip quilts and pillows.

2009-05-27T16:29:00.000-07:00

I decided to add aprons to my shop when I found this cute fabric family while vacationing in Lancaster County Pa.

2009-03-25T09:57:00.000-07:00

This quilt is the third in a series of the seasons.. I love making these pictoral quilts to try to capture some of natures beauty. The Autumn Quilt is a raw edge quilt where everything is fussy cut and layered then machine quilted. I hope you enjoy this newest addition.

2009-03-25T09:55:00.000-07:00

2009-03-01T12:18:00.000-08:00

The newest bag added to my shop is a whimsical lavender swirls with a cute scalloped flap and appliqued flowers.

2009-02-21T16:12:00.000-08:00

This bright flowery bag would make any girl the one to turn heads. I love the fuchsia color.

2009-02-21T16:08:00.000-08:00

Thought I would add some new items today since I've been very lax about posting here. This is one of my newest bags. I'm trying new designs.

2009-01-11T15:53:00.000-08:00

I love swirls! This melon tapestry fabric is so pretty. I added a double button trim to the flap accented with two little leaf shaped buttons. This bag has a magnetic snap closure.

2009-01-11T15:49:00.000-08:00

This beautiful fabric just grabbed my attention and I had to design a bag just to show it off. I added chocolate brown piping for a little extra punch. There is a double button closure and a long strap for comfort.

2008-12-09T07:50:00.000-08:00

I'm happy to share a new purse design I just listed in my etsy store. I fell in love with the folk art birds and had to come up with something new for them. I hope you all agree that the bag fits the bird.

The love of quilting.

2008-11-28T07:10:00.000-08:00

I belong to a wonderful group of quilters on the handmade site: Etsy.com

They are a warm, creative group of women from around the country and around the world. They have been an inspiration to me and each other over the last year or so. Their spirit is reflected in their work with the vibrant colors and wonderful creations they make and sell on etsy.

We have become a sisterhood of encouragement and compassion. I hope anyone visiting this site will fall in love their spirit the way I have. The first two quilts were made by Jabaro Designs. She has a wonderful feel for color and composition. I have loved the yellow quilt from the first time I saw it.

The Forest In Winter

2008-11-28T07:05:00.000-08:00

This is one of my favorite scenic quilts. You and almost hear the snow crunching under the deer hooves as they forage for food. The peace of a winter day is what I was trying to accomplish with this quilt and I think I managed to capture it.

2008-11-28T07:00:00.000-08:00

Here is another scenic quilt that I love. I find that the feel of being outdoors is soothing and I try to achieve that feeling with my quilts.

My Favorite Quilt
