My Triple Dresden and a Baby Quilt

I have finished my triple dresden quilt.






It was the first time I had done a fan for the corners.  I really like how it looks.  Used wool batting and Glide thread in top and bobbin.  
Here is my baby quilt which will be donated to Agape House in Martin, Tn.  Agape House is a pro-life clinic and our guild is making quilts for the babies born to those who changed their mind about abortion.  


Just freehand overall quilting.   I do not have a computerized longarm so everything is freehand or ruler work.  
Here is a picture of a mom and her twins in our back yard:

Yea!! A Finish -- Well, almost!

This is what I have been working on.  The block is called Round and Round -- but I think I will call it "Just Playing Around" since I played a lot with the quilting.   Learned a lot and tried some new things.






Now to get the binding on and it's finished!

Gibson Co, TN Barn Sampler Quilt

A couple of years ago I designed blocks based on blocks on the barns in Gibson Co., TN  The art dept designed the blocks on the barns so I had to do some improvising.
Here are lots of pictures of my finished quilt:








I love this quilt!!!

Two baby quilts made with memory shirts

Paula made these two cute baby quilts for a friend using shirts from, I believe, the babies' grandfather.

I haven't taken pictures of the back, but they really turned out pretty.
And David bought me this yesterday for Mother's Day!!!  Love that man!!
Now I'm past being my mother -- now I can be my GRANDMOTHER!!  She always had a glider on her front porch which we sat in during the mornings since it was on the west side of the house.  Most of the time we sat on the back porch but she only had rocking chairs back there.  
Love the drop down cup holder.  I can put it up and take a nap.
And here is my mother's old black pot:
Grass doesn't look good because David had sprayed it.  So you have to ignore the yard!
Happy Mother's Day to everyone!  You know where I will be spending my mother's day.
