Here is my Irish Friend Olivia

After visiting Olivia in Ireland in June she came to Wisconsin to visit me for 2 weeks and while she was here we went to a quilt convention, many quilt shops, a quilt show, garage sales and thrift shops all adventures.  What a great friend. She made this vest--her first vest ever it was perfect--cute! She went home with two suitcases full of fabric, one case weighed 48 lbs and the other 23lbs---almost all fabric--what a quilter.  pb

Raw Edge fan-wedding gift for Niece Jane & new husband John

Raw Edge Fan quilt, scrappy of course 7-2012 this was given as a wedding gift to our niece Jane and her new husband John.

Embroidered Tulip Quilt finished last week. 7-29-12

Every year our quilt guild gives us each a fat quarter, we are to make a secret project from it and have it ready for our July quilt show.  This is my project--the blue snowman fabric boarder was the challenge fabric.  Fun project but putzy!

A couple weeks agoI went on a quilt retreat---this is one of the quilts I put together, the Dresden blocks were made in 2002 and after much searching I finally found a boarder fabric that I thought worked with the blocks.  This also was my first attempt at feather stitches in the quilting.
