I just listed one of my Child's Prayer Quilts on eBay. It is completely hand made and professionally quilted. It is one of my favorites.

Vintage Illustration and Storybook Quilt Blocks- The Princess and the Pea

We have just finished another quilt kit. This one is,"The Princess and the Pea." It is different that my other kits in that I have 3 different size blocks, 8x10, 6x8 and 12x8 inches. Steve Jackson graciously allowed us to use his music- which really makes this video special.

The Good WItch Quilt

This is what we have just finished. It is titled, "The Good Fairy" and I have very little information about the book. It looks to have been printed in the 1920's or 1930's. This is the video we put together showing the blocks.

Children's Halloween Quilt

I just got our children's Halloween quilt back from being quilted and it looks great. I have wanted to find a vintage children's Halloween story. The colors are very bright and vibrant on this one. Thank you Ellen Petersen at Quilter's Corner for quilting it.

I have just figured out how to create a webface on my Mac. Now I wonder what is this for? There were no buttons to create an "aging" face- no sags, bags, wrinkles. Absolutely wonderful. Now I wonder what do we do with these ageless beauties?

Mabel Lucie Attwell

We just finished this quilt using illustrations from a picture book by Mabel Lucie Attwells. I made the blocks from her illustrations. Claudia Plett in Oklahoma pieced it together (http://www.claudiasquiltshoppe.com) and Ellen Peterson here in Grand Junction machine quilted it (http://www.quilterscornergj.com). I am so pleased with how it turned out!

Frances Hunter illustrations

This is the last of this set that I am doing using Frances Hunter illustrations. This one is titled, "Fiddlesticks and I are sure that Santa is near." This is a new size for us, 9x12 and we used C. Jenkins fabric. We found the fabric worked very well and we were able to easily quilt on it. Kimberly

Frances Tipton Hunter

I have been working on finishing up 3 9x12 blocks that I made using illustrations from Frances Tipton Hunter.I am using C. Jenkins fabric so that it can be quilted on the block itself. This one is called, "I'm not afraid of the dark, are you?" I have one more to complete before I can post them on my www.

I can't believe that it is almost the end of February!  As always I am working on a new design from old illustrations.  I will be listing on my site next a series of designs from a book by Maud Humphrey called Babes of the Year, published in 1888.  This series is called Calendar Girls.  I used C. Jenkins fabric.  It is machine or hand quiltable.

Happy New Year

The new year is here.  I have been working on restoring old photographs.  I am taking photos from our family albums and with the help of Photoshop reinventing them.  I am thrilled with the results.  They will be great printed on fabric or paper.  Here are some samples.
