This is the quilt that started it all. I've always sewn clothes - for myself and for many clients over the years. I decided to take a quilt class so I could learn what the ladies on the Airedale Quilting Bee were actually talking about.
This wallhanging was made for our grandson. He loves stars and planets.
It has machine embroidered designs and it was machine quilted.

Not to be outdone - My husband wanted a quilt!
With the holidays fast approaching, a Christmas wallhanging seemed appropriate.
This is his favorite and it stays up about 6 months out of each year.

Since our Grandson had a wallhanging, he obviously needed a quilt to match it.
So, of course, he wanted stars.
This is a twin size bed quilt - designed by me.
It is machine pieced, machine embroirdered and machine quilted.
