Chantille's Bee Quilt

 
This is a quilt I showed my niece how to cut the hexagons and piece the quilt together and she was off and running. She made this quilt in the two weeks before moving to Italy so she could give it as a gift to a friend who is a beekeeper. It came out great and she did an awesome job.
 
We longarm quilted it at Bit's N Pieces in Pelham, NH.
 
 

Pattern Test Quilt for Melissa @ Bitter Sweet Designs

 
This was a pattern I tested for Melissa @ Bitter Sweet Designs back in July I think.
I still want to add another border to make it a bit bigger before quilting it.
 

Owl Baby Quilt



This quilt was made for my nieces mother to give to a friend for her newborn son.
The requirements were that it should have owls, books, letters and numbers if possible since mom was a librarian.
I think I managed to get them all in there nicely.



Whale Quilt

 
This is my latest quilt. It will be a store display at my lqs to display the big prints.
I love the whales. I still need to bind the quilt which is my least favorite thing which is why it always takes me so long. I may send this one to my binding fairy so I don't have to do it.  :)


Kerri's 6" Strip Mystery Quilt



Last year I taught my mother, sister and friend how to make a quilt using different block patterns. This was a first for all of them. I signed up for a 6" strip mystery quilt block of the month at the quilt shop and that is what we used.

Rather than purchase 6" strips of fabric I had them each purchase 3 fq's each month of any 3 fabrics of their choosing. I wanted to make it fun.

Because we used fq's they had enough fabric to make double the required blocks. Kerri decided that she would make 2 quilts and this was her end result. This quilt was given to her mother. I think she did a great job.

QOV Quilts


I made 3 of these giant star quilts as my version of a Quilt of Valor. I took them to Oklahoma with me in May 2014 when I went to attend my best friends college graduation. She is retired military so she made the arrangements for me to donate these quilts to de given to veterans.
I carried them on the plane with me as carry on items and never let them out of my sight until they were donated.   I wanted to make sure they didn't get lost or stolen.  :)
They all measured 60" x 60".

Mason's Quilt




 
This quilt was made for my nieces son Mason in February 2014.
This quilt was longarm quilted by me at Bit's N Pieces quilt shop in Pelham, NH.
The pattern was double bubble and it was quilted in  Angel green thread.
This is one of my favorite quilts to date.

Karen's Ovarian Cancer Quilt

 

This is the quilt I made for Owen's mother Karen.
I used ovarian cancer fabrics by Blank Quilting and a "What Cancer CannotDo" panel.
I longarm quilted dragonflies on it at Bit's N Pieces in Pelham, NH.
 
This is Owen and his mom Karen. It was an awesome feeling getting to give them their quilts and see their faces when they found out about them for the first time at the awards ceremony.
 
 




 

 


 

 
 

Owen's Basketball T-Shit Quilt





I was approached by my ex-husband's sister about making this quilt for a sick 13 year old.
Owen was undergoing treatment for Leukemia and his basketball team wanted to do something special for him. They got together with the entire Nashua, NH biddy basketball league and decided to retire his #2 jersey for the year for all teams and donated them for a t-shirt quilt. I was lucky enough and got to attend the awards ceremony and got to present Owen with his quilt alongside the coach.
As well as presenting Owen with his quilt I decided to make another quilt for Owen's mother who also was undergoing treatment for Ovarian Cancer at the same time as Owen was undergoing his treatment.
It was very rewarding getting to see them and give them both their quilts.
