While I have been quilting for a few years now, my quilts never seem to come out like they're supposed to but I have a lot of fun trying! :-P

I like them.
Especially the little turtles on the last one. They are turtles, yes?

Yeppers! I didn't even realize it when I bought the fabric that it coordinated with the turtles on the front. 8-)

Very nice.

Thank you very much! I'm so happy I found a place to display what I think is my talent! :mrgreen:

Thanks for the pictures and I needed to smile today and your little boys picture made me smile back at him....

Hi, Donna and thanks! He's our little doll baby. Although now at age 11, he keeps insisting he is a "preteen." He still uses his quilt every night though. He's a 9 year A.L.L. leukemia survivor. To us, he's a miracle every day.

Your quilts are wonderful. You should be proud of each and every one of them :thumbup: :thumbup:

You should be proud of your work. No person's quilts are perfect...it's the love that is given and received that makes the projects worthwhile. You're enjoying the process and that's the most important thing.
I like the dinosaur quilt and the little fellow likes it too.
The Lizards one is nice too.

I am proud of them, but my hubby tells me I am too hard on myself. The sad part of this is, I made most of these when I was working full time in the local ER, taking care of the kids and house, and still managed to find time to crank these out at an amazing pace. Now that I don't work, my projects seem to just linger...

Many thanks for the compliments:) :-o

Very nice quilts. Great job on all.

Thanks for the positive feedback. Did you make the quilt in your avatar??? I love it. The kitties, too!

Wonderful quilts! I think we all tend to be hard on ourselves!

Boy, you've been busy! Great quilts, thanks for sharing

Great job on all of them! :D

They are all so bright and pretty...love the dinosaurs and the little guy (sorry "preteen) too!

Wow! Do you take time to eat & sleep? You've made quite few gift quilts. I know everyone loves your work & to me that's all that matters. Have you made anything for yourself? I've given all my projects away, so in 2010 I'm planning to do something for me, once I figure out what, pattern & fabric.... When I've done my best, I'll still get up in the night, go work on it some more, go back to bed & be able to sleep.

You have some wonderful quilts there!!!

Wow, you are a busy girl, love the quilts and the little blue one at the top of the page where it shows the quilting pattern is adorable, I love the quilting. You have a sweet heart along with great talent.

Beautiful quilts and love the colors, you did a good job !!!

I think that's why I like quilting so much- it's mostly forgiving. :thumbup:

Sheila Elaine,
Hey! Yes, I have made quite a few. The tragedy is that I made about---- 10 other baby quilts for co-workers in the ER and never took a picture of 1 of them. :oops: What a loss to me! :cry:

That is so kind of you to say. I think I liked myself better as the not stay at home mom- I'm so not good at either one:)

I HAD been busy. Now I feellike the frozen snow... Has anyone done a snowflake quilt??? I think that'll be my next winter project... Now let me see... yes yes yes... Chilly Willy???



ps what part of eastern pa??? (I don't facebook)

Nice quilts.

well even if you think they didn't turn out it looks like everyone is enjoying them! and I enjoyed looking at them all.I better get going on mine!!

What an awesome assortment of quilts!!! They are ALL great :D:D:D

Thanks for all the praise and encouragment. I am dying to make a baby quilt so I gathered up my flannel unisex's and now I am just waiting for creation to inspire me and "give me a dream" so I can make it unique.

Wow! I love them all. Thank you for sharing. :D :D :D

maybe you need to sit down with a cup of something warm some of your quilting books or magazines or watch how to piece an american quilt, or for Richer for Poorer with Tim Allen and Kirste Allie, that movie is a hoot. I get inspired that way, at least motivated. Or go to quilterscache.com and check out all the patterns they have. What about applique? You can get really creative with those. I will be interested to know what you decide on.

Thank you to all who've commented or given words of encouragement. It's nice to know that so many people share the love of the same thing. Kindred spirits, is that what it's called???

Well, I got the phone call today that the husband is coming home or supposed to be on Sunday, which leaves me part of tomorrow and some of Sunday to whip this place into shape, as the Boys get lax when Daddy's not home. :shock:

Still trying to find the new pics I took- I know it's on the computer somewhere. Now where in the world did I put that? :?

Kindred spirits, is right. Beautiful Bounty is really cute. I love medallion quilts anyway. I believe your little dog has given his approval also.

Daphne,
Yes, my "little" dog Bella has given her approval- she's great when it comes to helping out like that.... ;)


Tony came home on Sunday afternoon. He cut me 3 different sets of fabric for some baby quilts. I already sewed together one- the unisex flannel one I talked about. I will have to take a pic and show ya' all. Now, I have the neighbor having a baby, my daughter's friend, and the friend's sister. (Baby Noah is getting a sibling and a cousin!) :XD: 8-) 8-)

Are you making baby Noah a quilt? Enjoy your time with your hubby it's fun when they get involved with your projects. Mine will help me every now and then. We work together pretty well most of the time. Can't wait to see your projects.

I really like the lighthouse blocks too.

Noah already has one- I think his is the very first picture I posted. I want to make a surprise one, ya know, unisex or no preknowledge of stuff but I have found it's kinda of challenging to try that. I'll have to post the one I've put together for my neighbor.

I have to enjoy my time w/ Tony- I never know how long he'll be home for, except on his vacation and that's barring him being on a job somewhere before it. :evil:

THIS quilt has been my thorn in my side for a long time now. I collected the various sea/ nautical/ lighthouse fabrics for like 3 years before I even started making it and I've been working on it for about 3 or 4 now! I hope to finish it before our beach vacation in August. This year we're going to the Outer Banks, North Carolina. Last year was Edisto Island, SC. So many lighthouses, so little time......

Wow....what a portfolio of quilts! I have to admit though that the dinosaur quilt with that cute big smiling boy has to be my favorite. They all look great to me though and obviously it gives you a lot of pleasure to share your awesome talent with friends and family. Yup...that makes you a kindred spirit! :lol: Thanks for sharing them with us!
