Picnic Puppies
April 2015
I want to extend a big thank you to the kind folks affiliated with Center Veterinary Clinic in Mira Mesa (San Diego) for their fabric donations! In addition to their donated fabrics, I used scrap fabrics from Edith and Granny to create this Jean Ann Wright, Southern Comfort patterned quilt.
I donated this quilt to the County of Ventura, Children & Family Services, via the Children’s Services Auxiliary of Ventura County, in April 2015.
Poppies
April 2015
This quilt incorporates the last of Granny’s (non-scrap) lavender fabric. I know that Granny would be happy that this fabric has made its way into 4 quilts, including: Skypilots, Lavender Ladies and Sassy Squares. The green fabric was also some from Granny, while the poppy fabric was new.

Lumberjack Patches
March 2015
This is Allison Harris’ (Cluck Cluck Sew) Off Track quilt design. I still had a lot of the donated homespun plaid fabrics that I used here, while the cream and solid red were new. I like to incorporate solids, as they provide contrast and negative space, but so much of the fabric I have from donations and leftover projects are predominately prints, hence why the solids are usually new fabrics.

Twizzler Goes for a Ride
August 2014
Quilts seem to mimic life: you have a general plan of where things will go, and sometimes it doesn’t quite go that exact way. But, it is beautiful nonetheless. I had planned to carry the Irish Chain pattern all the way to the edge, but the fabric scraps I had chosen were just not going to stretch that far. So, back to the sketch pad, and I came up with the idea to use the animal fabric as a border. In the end, it turned out great!
The orange fabric was given to Jamie from her friend Jan, who likes the idea of my Love Hugs project. She gave Jamie a huge bag of all sorts of fabrics! The animal fabric was new, while the blue was some from Granny’s stuff, and the plaid was from the craigslist fabric I acquired last year.
As a big thank you for the fabric donation, I have named this in honor of Jan and her doggie Twizzler.
