Welcome to my gallery of quilts!

These photos show my favorite quilts over a long period of time.  My preferred method is hand quilting, so I am not a high-production quilter! A few of the quilts here are machine quilted, particularly quilts intended for children.  the exception is the quilt with the appliqué  blocks and a red border.  I completed the top and put together the "sandwich" for this quilt in 1966 or 67, before my son was born.  Then it got stored away, moving from attic to attic for about 30 years!  I finally quilted it (by hand) for his oldest daughter Sophie when she was born in 2004!  When I purchased the fabric, there were no fabulous cotton prints  - most fabric was polyester.  So to have a quilt with a fun design like this one, you had to use solid colors and use appliqué.  It is a great technique, but now I much prefer to use the fabulous prints that are widely available.
