Two Truck / Cars Quilts



I was commissioned to make one truck / cars quilt..... then she wanted two!  







Although the designs are the same the placement and quilting in each are different.








Some of the back quilting




The front border is very busy so you can't see the border design..... but on the back you can!


She didn't add a custom quilt label, so I added my mini one.

Flamingo Quilt for a Baby Girl

I was contacted to make a quilt with hearts and flamingos for a baby girl.  The client loved it!!






Memorial Wall Hanging

This memorial wall hanging was made from a denim jacket.  



 The jacket had a very special meaning to the family.


Originally she wanted it to look like a jacket with the pockets, buttons, sleeves  and such throughout a patchwork border.   When she saw the idea come to life, she changed her mind.... and we created this!




 Love how it turned out.  



I even made a little kick knack jar with scraps from the jacket.
