Princess Charlotte

Here's my journal quilt from June 2009. The theme was architecture. I went with the bunny princess, Charlotte's castle. A little like Cinderella's. I photocopied the castle sketch onto muslin fabric and then colored the rest adding her flower garden and Charlotte's picture at the bottom. Green/blue stripey fabric at the top as with the other pieces.

Geometry at it's finest

Here is my journal quilt from March 2009. The theme this month was geometric shapes. pretty random, but I did have lots of fun playing with the different stitches on my machine. Plus, you may notice the blue and green sheer fabric in the top left corner is the same fabric I used in the January journal quilt. I decided to make it a consistent fabric in this series of quilts.

Winter Sunshine

This is a journal quilt - the only rules being that it has to follow the chosen theme and cannot be larger than approximately 8 1/2" X 11". I did this journal quilt last January. The winter weather was really getting to me, so I decided I needed a little sunshine. Journal quilts are a fantastic way to get a little sewing in - when you have time for none. I really should get back into doing these....eventually.

Row quilt - 1930's

And here's my row quilt. I made the middle row of flowers to start. Then several of the women in my quilt group made the other rows to go with it.

Row, row, row your quilt

My quilt group recently completed a challenge where we set the rules of our quilt and then the person that drew our quilt for the month had to make a row using our rules. My row quilt uses 1930's fabrics - I'll post pics of that later. Here are some of the rows I made for other people's quilts.

Just Bee

Wow...I suck at this keeping up with a blog thing. Here's some new quilty-wonderfulness for everyone to view. Here's a picture of my entry into the Bee Bold Quilt show this year. It won 1st place for machine quilting and the viewer's choice award. It also took 3rd place for art quilts in the Araphoe County Fair.

Hawaiian Breeze

Another UFO - now finished! This one was only started about a year ago. :) It's a simple diamond pattern made in very cool, muted colors for my friend, Meghan. Once again, I was practicing my machine quilting skills with a basic stitch in the ditch. This one was an easy one to finish up since (once I pulled it out of the closet) I realized it only needed the binding.
