Blue Rover

I wanted to make a quilt for my brother. When I saw the "Red Rover" pattern in "Cozy Modern Quilts", I thought it would be perfect, but I was happy to honor his request to substitute blue for the red in the quilt. :) It took a bit of time to get the top pieced together - there were a...

Posted by Yvonne @Quilting Jetgirl

Just a quick project this morning to make 8 pockets to protect filters for Michael's camera. It is a continuous piece of fabric that is pretty simply folded in half and stitched into 8 equally divided pockets. The fabric is left over cotton flannel from the backing of a quilt.

Fall is Coming

Back in August, I was visiting my in-laws and we decided on some beautiful fabrics for me to use to make them an over-sized lap quilt. They both quickly agreed that they wanted fall colors, and my mother-in-law and I had a wonderful afternoon in a local quilt store looking at fabric. We picked out 8 different fabrics based...

Placemats with Leftover Fabric

Posted by Yvonne @Quilting Jetgirl

I am almost finished with what may be the biggest quilt I've ever made - an oversized Queen quilt for my in-laws (it's basically King sized - yikes!). Since it's a bit bigger than what I normally quilt and I wanted it to be just "so", I sent it off to be machine quilted. While I was waiting on...

Quilt for bunbun

I have to give credit to Michael for helping me pick out the browns for this quilt I made for a high school friend who is expecting her second child ("bunbun") in December. I think I like the backing more than the front of this quilt - the wavy fabric is really fun!

I made these blocks in 2008. They're kinda crazy, and I really should get around to making something out of them sometime.

Starry Night Baby Quilt

When I saw this material, I just couldn't help myself. I call this quilt "starry night", and I think it turned out pretty well. Some of the quilting wasn't so straight, but things can't be perfect, right? :o)

I just finished my most recent quilt project - a lap quilt for our cousin Elizabeth. It's still getting washed as I type this post! I'm excited to be able to deliver it in person next weekend. I asked Elizabeth what she would like - blue flowers. She also preferred the secondary color to be white. So I collected up...

Relay for Life Team Banner

I was part of a Relay for Life team this summer. In June, our team captain asked if I could make the banner for the team. I had just received some free fabric from a friend's grandmother who had to downsize her fabric collection, so I dove into those fabrics and came out with this: In all, it took under...

I knew that our friends, Sam and Chelsea Miller, were expecting their first, and when Sam let us know that he would be out to visit in a week and a half, I challenged myself to get a baby quilt made in time to give to him. Yikes! Without mom around for help, I thought it might not be...

I had been trying to make a quilt for my brother-in-law, Todd, for years. I knew that I wanted to make it mostly red or red and black and work with the UNM Lobo / dog theme, but I had really been struggling to find a pattern and fabric I liked. I'm just not a red person, so I...

Simple Drawstring Bag – Tighe Baby Shower

I used up some of the left over material from the Tighe Baby quilt to make a simple drawstring bag to put books in for the Tighe baby shower. Not only were they a great way to use up some left over material, but I didn't have to buy gift paper and I hope they can be used for putting toys...

Handkerchiefs for Jess

While I was working with the material for Mr. O's quilt, my friend Jess had a birthday. Some of the material just screamed "Jess!", so I stitched up 2 handkerchiefs for her for use as a bandanna / headband. I think they've held up to use, so far.

After getting back into quilting, my mom came out for a week long visit and we worked together to make a quilt for my cousin Beas' first child. I had a great time quilting with my mom, and I was amazed that we were able to make the quilt in a week! Here's the log cabin quilt we made...

Tighe Baby Quilt

After moving to California, I did not set up my sewing room quickly enough, and it turned into an airplane spare parts storage room instead: I didn't really have any huge inspiration to do a project for almost two years, though. However, recently Michael and I have been getting more baby announcements than wedding announcements. So, I set out to...

Pillow Quilt (Quillow)

I came across some beautiful fabric that made me think of my sister-in-law, and I set out to make a quilt that stores folded up as a pillow. I made up the pattern and "stitched in the ditch" for the quilting. The pattern I made up starts with smaller blocks at the top, so that as you fold down,...

I cannot remember when I made this, exactly, but it was probably in 2003 or 2004. I had sort of envisioned it as a table runner, but I like how Frank R has claimed it for his chair. I look forward to making a real quilt for Katy and Frank later that will have better workmanship - having a...

I worked on this quilt for about a year. I didn't have it done when we got married, but I finished stitching the binding on the day we moved into our first house in Florida, about 5 months later. Michael is so tall his feet stuck out of the bottom of the quilt we had been using (the star...

The second quilt I ever made was a Christmas present for my high school boyfriend. We were in the marching band together, and I made a music lap quilt. I am still friends with him, and in 2012 he found the old lap quilt at his parents house and he shipped it back to me, which was a pleasant...
