Our Own Quilts
The quilts pictured below were made for our own use or as gifts for family members.
Of course, family quilts get everyone involved: even the webmaster gets his fingers pried off the keyboard from time to time and put to work hand-stitching binding.

This queen sized quilt started as a class project to make a Buggy Barn lap quilt. I liked the stars so much, I made a queen sized quilt, with enough stars left over that three of them spilled out into the border. There's one on the back, too. Quilted with feathers in the border, big stars in the centers of the stars, and a meandering string of little stars in the background. Photographed at the Sapphire Quilt Guild's 2002 Apple Valley Quilt Show, Stevensville, Montana, August 2002. |

This queen/king-sized quilt was made for our oldest granddaughter for her fifth wedding anniversary. The central motif is a set of 25 "Nipper" blocks from Joan Hawley's book "Lazy and Lovin' It," from Lazy Girl Designs. The layout and color selections were done using the EQ5 software, from the Electric Quilt Company. Quilted with circles, roses, leaves and vines, and quarter-inch technique. Photographed at the Sapphire Quilt Guild's 2002 Apple Valley Quilt Show, Stevensville, Montana, August 2002. |
