Patchwork Pineapple - NEW pattern!

Patchwork Pineapple by Judi Madsen www.judimadsen.com 
I am so thrilled to finally share what I have been working on for the last several months.  I have wanted to make a pineapple quilt forever.

So, I started over and decided on the design, Patchwork Pineapple, that you see now. This is such a fun quilt to put...

New Pattern! Gypsy Revealed!!!!

Gypsylogo
It is finally done!  Gypsy is done!  This quilt has been in the works for over 2 years.  It was drawn, then sat and waited for its turn to be made up by me.  I know I wanted to create a pattern that I could play with the quilting design. I also knew this pattern would be a fabulous quilt to piece in any fabric choice.

Kyoto Gardens finished!

kg1 
Okay, so this fabulous quilt is called Kyoto Gardens from the book, Stellar Quilts by Judy Martin, found here. Jan pieced this quilt and took a little liberty with the design and added borders and things that she wanted for her master bedroom quilt.  It is a beautiful design and quilt that I had a lot of fun quilting. The quilt is around 94 x 104, so it is big.
