Past Quilts...

Over the years I have had many dream jobs. All of them included me being the boss because I love to do my own thing. My most current dream is to be a professional quilter. Quilting is a fairly new medium for me, but the moment I got into it I loved it. Over the past 6 years I have done many quilts, most of them being memory t-shirt quilts, but a few real quilty quilts. I don't follow patterns. I make it all up...or take an idea and make it my own. Each quilt is a new skill learned. Unfortunately I have not snapped pix of all the quilts I have done over the years, but I remember each one fondly. 

Here are a few I did capture...

This is a quilt I did for Bill Self, head coach of the Kansas Jayhawks!
 This one really put me on the map.

This quilt I made for my dearest friend Kim's first son Harrison.  It was the cutest panel of the alphabet...wish I had more of it because you could really transform those letters into so many different quilts! This is a one and only...for a super special one and only little guy :-)

This quilt I was honored to make in memory of an old friend's step father.

He was the fire chief in Lawrence.

This was my first attempt at artistic quilting. Fun to look at up close! I stuffed some appliques for a 

3-D effect. I also did some free motion quilting around the tea cups and appliques. My most prized quilt by far. Whenever we have a little girl, this will be hers to go in her pop art nursery.

This quilt I made for my cousins daughter Kate for Christmas...a bit steep for a christmas present, but this little girl is so super duper sweet...she deserves it :-)

This is a Free State High t-shirt quilt I made for an old high school acquaintance.

She did so much and went on to be a Chief's cheerleader! Another celebrity folks!! I think I maybe have 3 shirts from high school...a play, and two class shirts, I guess art class didn't put out t-shirts.

This is a duvet cover I made for Ryan and myself with matching pillow covers. 

Pillow Covers and folded duvet. "Cross Stitched" Monogram for Charlie.  

A few years back on a trip to SF to visit friends I stumbled into the most peculiar little shop in Divisidero, and found screen printed pieces of fabric of different images, sizes and colors. And I thought putting them into a bedroom piece would be a great way to display them. I then pieced together a few different prints into strips. A favorite color pallet of mine for sure!

This was a typewriter print I appliqued onto a complimentary fabric and embroidered for Charlie. Not a quilt I know, but I thought I'd end with a touch of LOVE.

I hope you have enjoyed my gallery and there will be many more....I've got a ways to go if I want to be a pro I know, but hey! You can help! If you need a quilt done...memory/t-shirt quilt, gift for a little one, or yourself. I am always up for being a part of your soft and cuddly happiness! Quilts are a heavenly thing, do you have a happy little quilt in your life? Oh my. I'm turning into the Bob Ross of quilting!


My next feat is a quilt for our bedroom. Because we switched the house around Ryan and I have to decorate our bedroom. It is a blank canvas...all I can think of is TEAL something! My favorite color in the whole wide world. Not sure what to do, but we need something for the summer months. The duvet although lovely is too heavy and goes into hibernation for the hot times. I have so many ideas, but need to hone them in. More to come on that...
