These boxes are made by using Kaye’s View & Do Hexagon Shapes.

I have attached the picture of the quilt I finished in Kaye’s Teacher Certification Class,    Stacking My Blocks.
I had a great time in class and learned a lot.

I made this jacket from the project you featured last summer from Nannette called Fractured Bargello.  I made it for my mother-in-law and included fabric from which I made my wedding dress.  It was a fun project, and I have two more lined up to do next.  It’s a great way to use up 1/2 yd impulse buys!

I made this in Kaye’s Spinning Diamonds Teacher Certification class.

This is a photo of my finished Blazing Star. I really enjoyed the class and learned some new techniques.  Thank you for all your time and effort you put into your classes.

Terri is a certified teacher. She teaches Kaye’s Stacking My Blocks pattern.

Using the eagle blocks as inspiration this is totally hand pieced and hand quilted, designing as I went. I quilted stars throughout the piece, thus naming it “Flying High over Stars & Stripes”. Not until November 11th did I know who I would give this to, finally deciding on my oldest brother, Roger, an Air Force veteran. I ordered an Air Force patch, sewing it in the middle, I wrapped and mailed it to him to open as his last gift this past Christmas.

This is the quilt top that my Grandmother made out of others used clothes and flour sacks. She made this in the early 1950’s. I have washed it and there are still a few stains on it, but I love it because she hand stitched all the girls and their bonnets on herself. They are really sewn on too. They are not going to come off that is for sure. She did a great job of embroidery also. When I look at it I am reminded of her and how strong her character was. She was a very honest and loving person to all she met. She was a great cook to all the many farm hands that she fed while the workers tended the 2000 acres of land in which they grew oats, wheat, alfalfa, barley and raised cow, pigs, horses and a big garden to feed them all.

This is the 2nd quilt I ever made, took me awhile, but I finished it using Kaye’s Starmaker 6 Master Template and her Spinning Diamonds pattern.

I had to send a pic of the Christmas Place mats I made.  I had collected so many Christmas fat quarters that didn’t really go with anything else.  I found a pattern online that only required a  small amount of another fabric for the 4 small stars in the corners.   I made 20 place mats that went out as gifts for Christmas, here’s just a sample!

This was my first attempt at a bargello quilt. I was very pleased with the results.

Click on the picture to see it bigger…. My quilts start like premonitions: my head races with a vision of my quilt and I am not satisfied until the quilt is completed. I usually begin my quilts by assembling the primary focal point and work out from there until I replicate the picture in my mind of the finished quilt. In all of my quilts I am mindful that the work of my hands should glorify God. “Hamar – 1994” is a visual memory of my two week visit to Norway for the Winter Olympic Games. This quilt represents the first night of my second week in Hamar, Norway. On that night I finally saw what I had hoped for, the Aurora Borealis. Hot green waves of light streaked and churned across the black frigid sky. God’s laser show broke the solitude of snow and ice. Could something this bright and powerful silently awaken this sleepy, peaceful Norwegian village?

This is my Christmas quilt that I made for my husband this year.  I used a panel and outlined some of the objects on the panel. Then I used the idea for the 6 Hour Quilt to finish it up. I also made one for a grandson for his birthday which is Halloween and he loves his quilt.

Hello Kaye, thought you might like to see my Christmas banner made out of fat quarters from Makower’s Christmas fabrics.

Attached is a photo of the Quilt I made my grandson for Christmas.  The Sailboats are paper pieced, from a pattern I purchased from e-quilts on line.

The fabric block is called Coastal Seagulls, used red on red for inner border and binding.

The outer border is Seaport Summer and last but not least the back is done with Coastal Lighthouses.

This was a great project to take on a quilting retreat I attended in April.  I started quilting three years ago, paper piecing two. Enjoy your information and videos.

We are listed in your “Charity Quilting” area.  I am the founder of a very small group and we make quilts for the sick, abused, neglected and/or abandoned children in our area.

We have sent quilts to England and a few U.S. States.  We have given to local shelters and the Fire Dept. for burn-out victims.  Our hearts desire is to continue to help those that are less blessed.  Photo’s are of some of the quilts we have made.  our charity quilts.  We accept newly made quilts.

Thank you for allowing us to share our photos with others.

I made this wall hanging for a friend and neighbor. The plaids are from shirts that belonged to her deceased husband. She has recently been diagnosed with cancer, so I made it hoping it will bring her some comfort.

The pattern is called Easy Stars. It is from a class that was offered in the Learning Fiber Arts Yahoo group.

These are some of the gifts that I made for my sisters this year.These were made from the pattern Folded Snowflakes by DJ Richards Design. Each one takes about 3 1/2 hours to make.I have made a total of five and still don’t have one for myself. They are a lot of work, but they are worth it. Because they were so much work I sprayed each one with Scotch Guard.

This quilt I made for the annual Moms for Marines picnic….it was a big success again this year.  I have plans already for next year.

Here is another quilt I made for 2008 MOMS4MARINES annual picnic, this one went over so good.  We sold alot of tickets and was able to raise money to send x-mas packages for our troops in Iraq.  It’s a very good cause and the families that come are growing every year.  It is an open picnic for any family that has a family member in the Marines, already in boot camp or going to boot camp, or deployed.  It’s a fun day for them all.  We always have a great time.

Marine Quilts gives quilts to the next of kin of our fallen soldiers to remind them that we feel for their sacrifice. You can go to their website to see examples and to get instructions for donating blocks.
