Granny Went Star Crazy

Hooray!!  Now I don't have to add "Granny Went Star Crazy" to my UFOs for 2011 because IT IS FINISHED!  I even made the binding and have enough fabric left over for the back.

Pink Hexagon top

Dorinda, the final chapter

MY TOP IS D O N E!  I really love it.  I just put the last stitches in it this morning.

My original "Hexagons in Rotation"

This was the original "Hexagons in Rotation" quilt I designed in the early 2000s.  Here it sits with the basting threads (red of all colors) still holding it together.  The problem is that I quilted it so heavily that it will really take some time to finish it in the same manner I started it.  Also, this was probably one of the first quilts I ever attempted to machine quilt and I've improved so much.  I intend to give this one to my Aunt Dana as a gift.  She loves blue.

Jim's Levi Quilt

My husband made this denim quilt all on his own one weekend while I was off to a quilting retreat.  He jokingly said he wanted to see if it was possible to take care of kids, quilt, and keep a clean house all at once.  He did a wonderful job!  I just need to get it tied and bound for him.

Black and White "Going in Circles" Buggy Barn

I started and completed this Buggy Barn pattern called, "Going in Circles" at Mom's last weekend. It was a fun quilting retreat with friends and family.

Mom bought me this fabric in exchange for quilting some tops for her. I'll be giving it to Jolynn when she gets married some day.

Friends and Flowers Round Robin

I finally took some time this winter to work on this quilt top. It was a round robin project I did with my close friends and family a few years back. Each participant was asked to make a flower block for me -- any flower pattern they wished. I REALLY like the way it turned out!

The blocks were made by the following ladies from left to right:
Top row: Becky Evans, Penny Butler, Loretta Nielsen & Karen Truman
Second row down: Deana, Marie Pugsley, Mariella Potter, and Julie Hansen
Third row down: Pat Behling, Tereasa Terry, and Deb Butler
Bottom row: Linda Johnson, Lorna Jennings, and Lyn Evans.
