My projects
 

It took me a year and a half to complete a quilt for my son Andrew, who lives in the Netherlands, because I was traveling so much for work last year. But I completed it while he was home for a visit in June. It is the pattern Thinking Outside the Box - I had seen it hanging in a quilt shop in Fountain, CO and fell in love with the pattern and thought it would be just the thing to brighten my son's apartment in Amsterdam. I did the long arm quilting at a shop that rents LA time. Not quite as good as I would have liked, but I did it myself. I failed to take a photo of the back which was pieced from all the left over fabrics, which turned out quite nicely as well.

The D9P is not quite finished yet - still have to bind it and make a label for it. This one was made this summer and was a collaboration with a co-worker and is for my administrative assistant who is getting married today. She will receive it when she returns to work after her honeymoon. The colors in her bedroom are graphite and aqua. The blue in the quilt is really an exact match of the aqua and my co-worker and I thought the black and white would go well with the graphite color (we had purchased pillow cases from her bridal registry in order to match fabric). My co-worker pieced the back with left over blocks and left over black fabrics. A local LA quilter was able to quilt it in a week for us. It has a paisley border so we thought a paisley quilt pattern would work well. We think it turned out very nicely.

I am very proud of both projects.

I failed to mention that my son's quilt is 64" x 64" to use as a throw or wall hanging. The D9P is a queen size quilt - in the photo it is spread out on my dining room table.

they are both beautiful quilts. lucky recipients.

They are both lovely quilts - I especially like the first one.

Those are very beautiful projects.

Both quilts are beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

Both are just wonderful, great job and thank you for sharing
Have a Blessed day

both very nice

and proud you should be. these are beautifully done!

WOW they are both wonderful. I love the 3D effects quilts (still need to make one). You did great

They are both beautiful! You did a super job. You evidently have had some lessons on that longarm cause it looks great.

they are both incredibly beautiful...your work is stunning all around!

Beautiful quilts! I saw the Outside the Box Pattern here on the quilt board this week and had to have it. Lovely ladies helped me find it and its on its way to me Yah! You have done wonderful jobs on both of your quilts.

Both your quilts are really nice. Well done!

Wow .....both are beautiful with great use of color and movement for the patterns! Congrats!

Beautiful quilts. I am sure they will both be loved.

both are very nice

Both quilts are fantastic! Great job!

Both look great and I love the quilting.

Your quilts are beautiful. Are you going to try longarming again? Is that really a D9P? I guess it's the sashing that gives it such a wonderful design. I love the way it's laid out.

Oh, my! They're simply wonderful!! Great job!

Both quilts are beautiful! The selection of colors for the second quilt is so pleasing to the eye. I am sure the bride and groom will treasure this D9 patch. I think it is exceptionally nice that you not only pieced the top for your son, but also did the quilting on the LA. Truly, this is an heirloom quilt. Thanks for sharing. You inspire us with your lovely work.

Just beautiful! Love both quilts - designs and fabrics! Kudos!

Beautiful!

What beautiful quilts. I would be thrilled to receive either one of them. The colors are stunning together.

Beautiful quilts. Great 3-D effect. Love the colors in the teal and graphite quilt.

I so agree , the sashing kicks up the D9P several notches. Is there any way you could take a full picture of it and send it to me in an IM. I do not know how to follow along since they changed the format. Either way both quilts are wonderful and I know you are very proud of them both...

Both are really great!! Love the colors. Did you fmq or use a panto? If a panto, which one? Your quilting is great, too:)

Lucky kids, all of them. Both quilts are beautiful.

Both quilts are beautiful. Not sure which I like better. OK I LOVE then both. You all did such a great job on them. Your assistant will go crazy over hers and Your son is sure to love his. BrendaK

they are beautiful!!!

i love the first quilt! i so need to find a pattern for that ive seen it a few times and it always amazes me. as far as the d9p, i think that is the PRETTIEST one i have ever seen!

I like the first one best of the two. Your quilting is great.

Both are lovely. Love D9P, but that first one with its dimensional look--well it's no wonder you fell in love with the pattern. Stunning. You have been busy with very satisfying results.

Lovely quilts-nice colours.

wow! especially love the d9p...beautiful quilting on it. is the motif your own design or, if not, could you tell us the name of it? you've done a wonderful job!

Both quilts are wonderful. Was the first one hard to do?

Love the pattern. It looks 3-D. Came out beautiful!

Beautiful quilts!

really like them both. great job. what talent.
