Plaid Diagonal 4-Patch Memorial Quilt

It’s always such an honor when total strangers are willing to entrust me with the last momentos they have to cherish a loved one gone too soon. I love working with the family to create a keepsake they can love forever. Some want a quilt that looks just like the person who’s transitioned. My firstContinue

Tampa Bay Buccaneers Mosaic Quilt

This custom, queen-sized Tampa Bay Buccaneers quilt is finally heading out in the mail.  After 135 days of sheltering in place from Covid-19, it’s nice to finally put a checkmark next to some of the projects that have been piling up, especially those that have customers waiting patiently. Last November (2019) a client reached outContinue

Cabin Fever Memorial Quilt

Besides Flutter, Cabin Fever is probably my other favorite pattern to use for memorial quilts. I love how the clothing items are allowed to shine in a simple way yet there’s still a lot of visual interest. See a previous version of this pattern, also as a memorial quilt here. This pattern takes 5 fatContinue

Road Race Memory Quilt

V-necks! One of the most common challenges I have to work around when designing a t-shirt quilt but the solution can be simple or creative. Since this quilt was already a pretty straight forward memory quilt, I opted for the creative solution. It’s rare that I get adult tees that all work out to aContinue

College Days Memory Quilt

For this commission piece I used an uneven setting that combines 12″ and 14″ finished blocks with scrappy 2″ pieced sashing. This setting allows you to accommodate shirts that are too long to fit easily within a 12″ block, a common issue with adult sized t-shirts. I also took graphics from the sleeves and chestContinue

Polyester Double-Knit Granny Square Quilt

Earlier this summer a dear friend asked if I could help her finish a quilt top that had been in the family. Hedging my bets, I told her I’d take a look at it. I’m always willing to help but I’d be quick to bow out if a task is beyond my skill set. MyContinue

Rose Gold Four Patch Memory Quilt Duo

Imagine a tradition in which the maid of honor turns her gown into a throw quilt for the bride and a baby quilt for the maid? That’s what my most recent commission requested. She sent me her rose gold dress and I knew the perfect fabric collection to pair with it. I’d signed up forContinue

Grandpa’s Fizz Memorial Quilt Duo

The most common questions I get regarding commissions involve what types of materials I can use in a quilt. The answer is, if you can wear it on your body, I can probably quilt it somehow. I may need to reinforce it, stabilize it or even baste it into place but more than likely thereContinue

Fizz Baby Memory Quilt Duo

My most recent commission work is a finished pair of baby quilts preserving the sisters’ baby clothes from their 1st years. There was 1 yellow dress in particular that was extra special as it was worn by both of the sisters. I fussy cut several of the blocks to include details from the clothes butContinue
