I am stepping out in faith. See, I am proud to be a quilter. I love putting fabric together and making something beautiful. It is not Perfect but it does the job that it is intended for.

| Double wedding 2017 for clients |
Quilts bring comfort, warmth and joy to some. I can put the pieces together and pretty soon, out comes this quilt that one can admire.
I have done the difficult to the easy!
 |
| This one had the pieces already done...client brought this too me to finish for her. |
The ones I truly enjoy, are the memory quilts. T-shirt quilts or memorabilia quilts....it is kind of cool to put all the pieces together to get a wall hanging or a full quilt. This one I did in 2011.....just getting going then.
 |
| Client sent me boxes of t-shirts, sweatshirts and scarves to make this huge king size quilt |
 |
| Handsewn by me out of my kids clothes that I had left! |
This one above is my therapy quilt I made over a November month way back when. Lots of tears, blood and sweat making that one. Flooded with memories this handsewn quilt will forever be special to me!
I have used blue jeans for quilts. Think memory quilt with dad's ol' jeans! Back in 2008, 09, 10, 11, etc...My patterns were simple. I called them "Granny squares". Add one to another to another and out comes a quilt!
 |
| Multi-Colored Jeans and backed with another bed spread cover |
 |
| the nautical come from a baby crib skirting then I backed this with faux sheep material |
 |
| Veteran's quilt made with recycled jeans & material. Appliqued stars and a recycled sheet to finish off the backing |
Then I have used and still do....recycled material which is cheap as far as costs go!
I go to our local Goodwill or Salvation Army or Thrift shop for my material. Anywhere from sheets, blankets, old quilts, curtains, tablecloths, shirts, pants..really anything that I think I can work with. Saves on batting and fabric!!
I have made 30-40 quilts using recycled material.
 |
| This bedspread had wool, sheets, cotton fabric |
 |
| Made quilted pillow cases to match |
 |
| Backed it with a "cover" that was used for those feather comforters-recycled! |
 |
| Called this one the "sexy" quilt due to color and the feel of all that soft material (shirts, skirts and curtains) |
After joining the quilt guild, I have branched out to try other patterns. I have broadened my "horizon's", one could say!
I do use New fabric, too. This last quilt I finshed this week, my client picked out all the material she wanted and then let me loose to create a quilt. Here is what I came up with for the birthday boy turning 2..
From Baby, Lap To King!
My prices are reasonable...$75 minimum to start.
Each quilt comes with a embroidered label of your choosing.
Very easy to work with, I am in contact with you through the whole process via email, shared photos through the entire process.
