Mine is Lorraine's Garden, I worked on the hand applique while she was hospitalized before she passed away. Special lady, special reminder

Mine is a doll quilt made for my only grandchild for Christmas. It has a solid strip on the side and the flowered portion is machine quilted in the pattern of a smiley sun face with rays beaming from it. Design is my own. Not real fancy like most here, but a good beginner project.

Mine is Cathedral Windows done by hand for no other reason than that I am not good at machine piecing (getting better). Background is what I call calico. some places call it muslin. The windows are made from scraps. My uncle is now the proud owner.

wow...I love looking at all the avatars...what creative bunch you are!!!
Mine is not somethinhg I did...but a tribute...back in 1970, when I found myself bored of doing embroidery work on pillowcases...I saw this article in a McCalls magazine of this beautiful quilt with another page of stitches...and the light bulb went on!!! And it's still blazing...I can use all those embroidery stitches in crazy quilting! I was hooked...but it wasn't until 1999 that the seed blossomed and I started my stitching journey...so my avatar is a tribute to what got me started!
