Collide-O-Scope

 This is a quilt using the "no more tears" paper piecing tecnique from a class I took with David Sirota at the Vermont Quilt Show in June 2026.  Love this technique - no mess!.  The quilt measures about 48" square.  I used the Skewed Blocks quilt design from Karen of Wildflower Quilting.  I used almost all of the leftover fat quarters pieces for the binding.




June Bugs

 This is a pattern from Villa Rosa.  It measures 66 X 82 and was quilted with Bugaboo by Christy Dillon of My Creative Stitches

Seven Ringie Dingies

 I made this quilt after attending a lecture by Susan Cleveland at AQS in Harford, CT in April 2026.  It's based on a pattern from her book Dynamic Dresdens with some liberties taken on the background and placement of the dresdens.  Approximately 48 X 71.  Quilted with Westphalia Edge-to-Edge 2 by Christie Dillon of My Creative Stitches.





Sew Kind of Wonderful Poinsettia Table Topper

 I took a class at the Vermont Quilt Show in June where we made a block using a specialty ruler.  Here's a link to the pattern.  Poinsettia  Then I purchased the coordinating design set from Sweet Dreams so that I could custom quilt it.  I wish I had not used the silver thread on the red petals but everywhere else it blends in nicely.  This is about 20 inches square.

 Here are a couple of 4 Ever Scrap Buster from Aunt Em's Quilts quilts that I recently completed.  I used different layouts for each.  They measure 57 X 65.  One with a black trail and one with a white trail.  I used quilting patterns from My Creative Stitches on both.  The white trail quilt used Pirouette - Ivy.  The black trail quilt used Westphalia 3.
