Graduation Quilt

Graduation quilts – seems like I’m making them all the time!  But that’s ok.  If I didn’t love those graduates I wouldn’t do it.  This one is for the daughter (Erin) of some long time friends, Doug & Lauren.  She’s going to Indiana University… Continue Reading “Graduation Quilt”

Batik Wave

Big Fluffy Flying Geese

First, let me explain the name.  Big Fluffy because the white fabric is a type of chenille fabric.  Very soft and fluffy.  Yes, once again it was a mess to work with, but oh so worth it!  It’s wonderful to lay on – like… Continue Reading “Big Fluffy Flying Geese”

Baby Quilts

During the Indiana State Quilt Guild retreat I made 4 baby quilts.  Two of our best friends, Kent and Peggy, each of their adult children had a child – so that made each of them a grandparent.  There was a boy and a girl… Continue Reading “Baby Quilts”
