Sampler Quilt


Many of us remember taking classes from the wonderful Catherine Anthony. This sampler quilt was one such project made by Josie.

Jinny Beyer Logo Quilt


Josie has some wonderful examples of quilts she made several years ago. This one was created from a Jinny Beyer kit and is just beautiful.

Wisteria




Okay, so it's not a quilt, but Arlene's wisteria was so incredibly beautiful this year that she just had to share it - maybe it will inspire a quilt!

Rilee's Quilt


Arlene's niece, Bethany, is expecting her first baby (a girl to be named Peyton Rilee) in May. Her nursery is decorated in pink with lots of ladybugs - the Robert Kaufman hot pink ladybug fabric was a perfect start for this adorable baby quilt.

Birds of a Feather


Over the years, we've tried to make quilts for each other on "significant" birthdays - this was made for Lynn for her mumble-mumble birthday.

Ties that Bind


Lynn created this quilt from ties worn by an old friend, Al Evans, throughout his life. The log cabin pattern is a favorite of his wife, Marilyn.

Batik Diamonds


The challenge of using most of her batik fabrics was Lynn's goal in this beautiful quilt - she thought it was loads of fun!

I Spy


Lynn created this I Spy quilt for a future grandchild from her son Robert (she's nothing if not optimistic!) Each of the hexagons has something relevant to her family or family history.

Self-Portrait


Lynn made this quilt for Kelly Smith, a member of another bee. It depicts her love of birds while the writing around the face shows many of the issues that concern her.
