Things I made in 2019

This quilt is based off a class by Carolyn Forster, who taught in Houston in one of the Juki classrooms. 

This was a block of the month through Mountain Creek Quilt Shop. I plan to quilt it soon.

This was pieced by Karen Pharr and I quilted it in Miami while we were there for training.

These are zippered bags I made for my rulers. No pattern.

This quilt was quilted using a walking foot. Each square has a different walking foot motif. I will use this when I teach classes on walking foot quilting.

This is one of my healing quilt project quilts.

This was a class with Lisa Ellis called Wacky Family Portraits. This was a picture of Isaiah. It was so much fun!

I finally got my sitdown longarm. I finished three quilt tops:

This is the quilt I started in Miami. Karen Pharr designed it and the fabric was supplied by Ginny and then I quilted it on my NX7.

This selvage quilt was starting many years ago. I finished it on my sit down longarm. The first place I showed it was at the St. Louis Consumer Training we did in May 2019. One of the people who attended wanted me to write up the pattern because she liked it so much. :)

This quilt was a class I took with Anita Chasity using the Deb Tucker rulers. I stitched in the ditch, then around the stars with my walking foot. I free motion quilted in the white background and then did straight lines in the purple border using my walking foot. I'll enter it in the quilt show this year. 

This is my 2019 SMQ Challenge. The block is Drunkard's Path and I call it Grey Goose with a Lime Twist.

This was a class I took with Julia Graber. You took a coloring book picture to make a quilt. I think he turned out so cute.

This quilt I pieced, quilted and bound on my sit down long arm. I will be showing this at the West Point store of Sewing Machine.com.

This are samples for a Christmas in July event at the shop in Atlanta. They are dish clothes you hang.

These are lip balm holders for the event in Atlanta.

These bowls are made with macrame rope. Will be given to guild to sell.

This is the ribbon I made for my guild's show. It is for surface design. The picture isn't great, but it was pretty.

This was a charity quilt pieced by someone else. I quilted it. 

I pieced and quilted this charity quilt.

This the back of the Christmas quilt below. Karen Pharr pieced it. I quilted it.

Marian and I made this quilt for Jessica's sister Amanda. It is made from old shirts from their grandfather. It was one of the hardest quilts we have ever done because the shirts were made from all sorts of fabrics.

I made 20 12 inch blocks to use for classes and for the vendor Bingo game at the Quilt Show. Here they are:

I also made a couple of quilts for an event at the Atlanta Sewing Machine store I did:

This is the quilt I made for Juki Walking foot classes, should I ever have them. :)

This bag I made for my friend Karen Pharr. She purchased the material and pattern and I put it together for her.

This is the first pattern I've ever written! It was published in the November Juki newsletter:

I love this quilt! I took a class at Gina's on the Laura Heine process of collage quilts. Gladys is the result of that class. Isn't she beautiful?

Quilting Between the Layers exhibit at Tennessee State Museum

These are the quilt blocks I made for the State Museum exhibit during Quilt Fest.

The first big thing I did was give a talk to the Beta Sigma Phi Women's Business group. Merikay Waldvogel roped me into doing it. They wanted her but she was out-of-town. I hope they enjoyed it. They seemed to. These are the quilts I showed:
Granny, Mom/Granny quilt, my 1st quilt, Double wedding ring, Picture Yourself in the Smokies, Sun Moon Stars, Scraps of Friendship, Dear Carol, Henge, That Old Black Magic, Tanzania, A Touch of Grey, Tree w/ Karen Pharr, Green Star w/Karen Pharr, Summer Tree, Healing Quilts, With a Little Help from my Friends and ruler work. I'm proud of myself for doing something I'm not comfortable doing. Maybe it will start a new sideline.

Visit to the Tennessee State Museum - Taylor and I went to the Tennessee State Museum on Tuesday, February 19 to see the Between the Layers exhibit. I made some samples for them to use in the exhibit. We started the day with breakfast at Biscuit Love. I had sausage gravy and biscuit; Taylor had the chocolate gravy and biscuit. I tried it, but chocolate just doesn't belong with a biscuit. :) Then we went to the museum.
