For myself I want to make a landscape quilt that tells the story of my life from the time I got married. It will have beautiful rivers and steep water falls as well as peaceful valleys and some wilderness areas. Lots of color! We have walked thru hard times and good times but even the hard times were good because of all we have learned from them. God has been so good to us and we have seen many miracles. I would like to be able in some way to bring all this to life in a quilt that will tell how great , powerful, and awesome our Lord is!

I am planning to make myself a quilt from when I served in the Marine Corps and creating blocks of places I've been stationed at. I've already purchased most of the Marine Corps fabrics and also have designed some blocks and will also be printing some on muslim pieces that are needed for this memory quilt of my adventures while in the corps.

I am in the process of cutting my tumblers for my questroom...all roses and a few fairies. can't wait to start sewing them and see how it comes out.

I am s-l-o-w-l-y collecting light colored batiks for a bed quilt. Haven't decided on the design yet - something quite simple and geometric with quilting in a leaf design.

I guess I'm lucky. I've been able to make several quilts just for me. I just sew where my muse leads me!

I have a couple of quilts I made for me, but my dream quilt is a Baltimore Album quilt.

I want to make one of barnbum's quilts - never thought of florals in that way and I really, really want one!!! Don't know if I will make the log cabin or the bargello or maybe even both - it's nice to have dreams!

My DH and I saw a painting many years ago of dolphins "surfing" in a grain field with grain heads flying everywhere (like waves). I really want to make this into a quilt, but have them surfing a sunflower field. Maybe some day :!:

A red school house with parchment or cream background, lushly quilted. Or a blue and white pineapple, or a Norman Rockwell Log Cabin, or........sigh.
