I saw this quilt on the wall of a quilt shop in Eugene, Oregon, last summer while we were on vacation, [sorry, can't remember the quilt shop's name] and thought it was lovely. So, I had to make my own.
The pattern is 'Slideshow', by Atkinson's Designs. Once again, Tammy at Sugartown Quilts did the machine quilting. I back all my quilts with flannelette to give them warmth and to ensure they don't slide off the bed.

This quilt is from a pattern called Urban Chic by Artichoke Collection. I chose to do black borders as I thought it framed the quilt better than pink. It was machine quilted by Tammy at Sugartown Quilts. I think this is my favorite! But, each one that I finally get done is my favorite!

After making quilts for six grandkids last year, it has taken me a while to get back into it. This one is from the pattern called 'Strings of Color' by Carolyn St. Claire. It uses many of the scraps from the grandkid's quilts. It was machine quilted by Tammy at Sugartown Quilts.

I needed to do a quilt for Jayna, 6, next. She is a sweet little girl with a lovely smile. I had a Strawberry Lemonade [by Moda] jelly roll; a simple strippy quilt evolved. I backed all these quilts for the grandkids with flannel. It keeps the quilt cuddly. Again, Myrna Layton did the custom quilting.

Grandson Joey wanted a black quilt. I thought that was a little 'dark' for an 8 year old. I looked through my stash and started gathering the brightest fabrics I could find. A variegated rail fence evolved and of course, only black would do for the borders. It set off the bright colors and hopefully will satisfy a small boy's request for black.

Granddaughter Janelle, 8, has beautiful blue eyes and a sweet disposition. I found a fat quarter bundle that reminded me of her. This simple layout was fun to do. It was custom quilted by Myrna Layton. This quilt won first place in a local fair in the patchwork category.

My granddaughter Kaitlin, 11, had seen a fat quarter bundle in my sewing room and said she wanted a quilt with those fabrics. I made up the pattern as I went. I submitted this quilt to a local fair and won first place in the pieced quilt category. It was custom quilted by Myrna Layton.

I decided to make each of my grandchildren a lap quilt for this Christmas [2008]. This has been a fun project. Spencer, aged 10, wanted an orange quilt. I compromised with blue and orange. It is so bright it hurt my eyes to sew on it! The pattern was in the Fall 2008 issue of Quilts and more and was titled 'In the Meadow'. I saved time by having it custom quilted.
