Folklorica Quilt
I fell in love with the Folklorica fabrics from In The Beginning fabrics. The fabric line came in a panel plus coordinating fabrics. The layout and design for this quilt is my own. The quilting was done by Charisma of Charisma's Corner, Ephrata, WA. The "quilt inspector" is Tango. She loves fabric!

Corduroy Squares Quilt
This is a corduroy squares quilt I made for my Great Grandson, Jaydon. The cord squares are all from skirts and left over fabrics that I used to make the skirts for my mother. The backing is flannel that I purchased many years ago to line sleeping bags, finally found a use for it.

Kingyo Quilt
I thought that I would start posting pictures of our previous completed quilts. This is a quilt I made for my son and his wife last year. The center panel is titled Kingyo and is by Red Rooster Fabrics. I originally purchased the panel as a kit then added my own outer borders to make a queen size quilt. I did not quilt it myself but sent it to a local long arm quilter for quilting. I was very disappointed in the work she did. Now all of my quilts that I send out for quilting go to Charisma's Corner in Ephrata, WA. Her quilting is absolutely gorgeous and always enhances the quilt.

One of My Daughter's Harley Quilts
This is a Harley T-shirt quilt that Krista completed in November. It is king sized and she used 20 t-shirt backs as requested by the customer.
Why This Blog?
My daughter and I are both quilters and create most of our quilts together. We wanted the create this blog to record our quilt creations, post our quilts and progress on each quilt we make. We share the same small workspace and are always performing what we call the "circle dance" around each other.
It also is a place to record my collection of vintage and antique sewing machines.
