Jordan's quilt and some quilt tops




Baby quilt. Ordered by a friend.


I love the print on this one. Has a nice summery feel to it. 


This one I saw hanging on the wall on one of Jenny's tutorials
at the Missouri Star Quilt Company.  Love the pattern

House Blocks


Came across a pattern for happy scrappy houses today on Quiltville Custom Quilting. I took down the pattern this morning and after I had finished the banners decided to try them out. I still need to do the topsy turvy triangles but the house is great fun to do. Trying to use scraps on this one so I think it will take some time to finish.

Pieces lined up
House Blocks done

Banners for Naysa and Rhea

Green Pastures and Clear Skies


Keziah's quilt is finished. I like the green and the white. Its sweet and soothing. I'm reminded of Psalm 23
 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
   he leads me beside quiet waters,
 3 he refreshes my soul.
 I hope someday she will know what that means.

A quilt for Keziah


Working on a quilt for a little girl (baby actually) called Keziah (by order of a friend who wants to gift it to her). I like that I know who will be using my quilt. I don't know the baby but her mother is a cousin of a friend. When I began the quilt I prayed - for me, to do the best job I could, and for Keziah, that it would bring her comfort, and warmth and happiness.
Making a quilt can be so many different things. :)
