Dee's Sample Quilt Finished

Dee finished her 'sample quilt'. Started years ago, she finished it with us as we all worked on our sample quilt. Here is a link to her individual blocks as she was working on them.

Every Grand Child

My Mom has made one of these quilts for everyone of her Grand Children and Great-Grand Children. Every one of them has been loved and treasured! This shows some of the Great-Grand kids with their quilts.

Above, Cameron his showing his quilt. This is the best one that shows the whole quilt. Mom does a blind tie and then sometimes adds some hearts or bears, all hand quilted.

Below, Neal is wrapped in his quilt. It may not be the one Great Grandma made but he claims ALL the blankets (when he can get away with it)!

The next 2 blankets are for the newest grandsons (great grandsons). They were born 2 weeks apart. Wesley and Zander.

Keegan takes his blanket everywhere he goes! Here he is at his Dad's commission as an officer and still has his blanket along.
Dave, yes my husband, wanted a blanket like everyone else...so, Mom made him one too. Thing is, Amy kinda took it over and has claimed it as hers.

I Love Lucy

Susie is one of our "long distance" Quilt Group members. A few times a year, she makes her way over for some sewing time. This time she came over for the International Quilt Show. In between visits to the quilt show, we finished some projects. Here is one she put together with I Love Lucy prints. We even had time to get it quilted on Teri's new computer long arm.

At the bottome is a picture of the back to see the quilt stitches.

Teri's Show and Tell

Teri has been wanting to use up all her scrap material so she has been looking for patterns to do just that. This in one of the block we did in class for the sampler quilt. She bought some extra cream background fabric but other than that this was scraps she had laying around. There was enough to make 2 oversized throw quilts. The angle quilt below is one Teri chose to do to practic her hand applique on. The original pattern I think only had 6 angels on it but Teir didn't think that was big enough so she doubled the size.

Flannel Baby Blanket

While at a Family Camp, a few of us brought our sewing machines... :) While kids were having fun playing, we were able to get a few projects accomplished. Here Sandy is with her new project, a double sided flannel baby blanket. A little bigger than a receiving blanket which is nice.

My mom and I found this cool pattern while we were in Logan visiting. The front is a few inches smaller that the back so when it is sewed the back folds over to the front creating a mitered corner and boarder.

I make a lot of these for all the baby's in our Ward.

My First Rag Quilt

This is the quilt that in on my bed right now. It was one of the very first quilts I made and it is all from scraps I had. At the time I was making dressed from a great line of fabric from Mission Valley. I had lots of scraps (which I hate to throw away) and a whole lot of samples from the distributor...so I decided to make use of them and put them into a king size rag quilt.

Mary's Show and Tell

Mary brought a few project to share with us. The first is a table runner that both she and her husband put together. Aprons are SO 'IN' right now. Mary's son made this one for his dad.

This is a new apron Mary made, you can't see it here but it is reversible.

Lisa's finished Sample Quilt

Lisa has finished her Sample Block quilt!!!!

We have pictures of her starting earlier this year, not sure she could really do a project like this but REALLY wanting to. Each block she made increased her confidence and she steadily worked over the months and now look...she completed the top!!!!

Good Job Lisa!!!!
