Storm at Sea

John Flynn's website has posted a photo of the Storm at Sea quilt that Tamara pieced and I quilted. Here's a link: http://www.flynnquilt.com/workshop/gallery/. Scroll to the bottom of the page.

Green Quilt

Here is what I worked on this weekend, Green Quilt top. I can only fit half of it on my design wall at once. The size is a large full. Next I'll finish the second green quilt and post a picture.

Storm at Sea

One of the projects that's been keeping me busy is this Storm at Sea quilt that I quilted for Tamara. This is from a class she took at Houston with John Flynn. The quilt is only 22"x30". The kit was precut with a laser making it super easy to sew accurately. It was a pleasure to quilt, too. Tamara has entered this quilt in the Marin County Fair. I'll post the results when I get them.

Tamara's BOM

I am finally caught up on my block of the month. First shown is April's Brasstown Star. The pattern can be found here.

Second is May's Morning Star 2. The pattern can be found here.

And last, June's Amish Star. The pattern can be found here.

I'm glad to be caught up. Other projects have been keeping me busy and I'll blog about them as soon as I can.

Fonthill Quilt

I have been busily finishing green quilts so I would have room to start quilting this top. I finished this two summers ago and I am finally getting it quilted. It will be in the Santa Rosa show and at the Marin County Fair, so I have to get it finished by June 3. Yikes! It's full size, too! This will be all I work on for the next two weeks. Thank goodness for Memorial Day.


Another reason not much has been getting done, a short trip to Yosemite Valley, courtesy of my brother and his wife. This was the view from our room at the Ahwahnee Hotel (I was sharing with my mom.)

Call Me Crazy...

but I'm going to make another green quilt. This will be the fourth, after the original green quilt, the purple, blue and green quilt and the red and green quilt. I have so many green scrap left over I can't get the drawers where they're stored shut. This last green quilt should clear things out a bit. I often do this, fall in love with an idea and make it a few times until I feel like I'm finished with it. Here's a photo of what I accomplished last night.

This is a pattern I found in Scrap Quilts by Judy Martin (pub. 1985) called Country Cousin. She made it up in red and white scraps. I'm using green and off-white to beige scraps. I also removed the bright greens and I'll use those in kid's quilts. I'm not sure how big this will turn out. I'm going to make blocks until I feel finished.

Louisa Otis wrote about me and the San Antonio Childcare Center quilt project on her blog, Quilters and their stories. Here's a link: http://louisa-otis.petaluma360.com/default.asp?item=2363523. Many of the quilts donated are pictured in earlier posts on this blog.
