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. I drew one up at the beginning of the year and made that design up into a quilt, but - it didn't look good, or work right for what I wanted. So, I started over and decided on the design, Patchwork Pineapple, that you see now. This is such a fun quilt to put...

 

This picture has so much meaning for me, especially with the little guy watching me quilt.  It was 10 years ago this week that I was pregnant with our 3rd child, we had just sold our home and we were awaiting the arrival of Jonah so that we could head down to Saint George, Utah from Salt Lake to make a fresh start.  Clint had quit his job and we decided that we would take Green Fairy Quiltsto a...

 

I have had this quilt top sitting in my studio unfinished for over 4 years now.  My thoughts at the time were that I was going to custom quilt it, however, my life and schedule have not allowed the time needed to do so.  I am a little sad about that, but I think having the quilt finished and being able to gift it finally, is a better option. 

I used V and Co'sbeautiful fabric for the piecing with

 

This beautiful quilt was made by my mom, Gayla. She finished this beautiful "Block of the Month" pattern designed by Peggy McDonald for her local quilt shop just before she suffered a stroke. It has been one of those crazy life events that puts everything into perspective. Mom has given me the love of quilting and she really was the reason I have been able to do all I have done with quilting. She...

 

Okay, so I had the bug to make another Patchwork Christmas and I wanted to make this new quilt in a totally different colorway. I wanted to have the Christmas Tree looked like it was flocked by using white, blue and grey fabrics.  Of course I used a Fat Quarter Bundle from Green Fairy Quilts. The bundle used is called Forest Frost Glitter by Sentimental Studios, which unfortunately we don't have...

I'm so happy to finally be able to share this quilt with you.  The is an original design by Dawn Gerber.  She did an amazing job creating this fabulous quilt and her applique is perfect! It was a pleasure and a challenge to work on this quilt.  Here is Dawn's own words on her original design:

So, you saw my latest post and my beautiful Gypsy quilt, I hope.  If not, you can read all about it here. I made a second version of this quilt pattern because I realize that not everyone will be quilting the pattern like I did on the original quilt.

I also took out some of the smaller piecing; keeping the original block in tack, but taking out some of the extra work in the block. This version is...

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.

So, I used V and Co's Ombre fabric for the colors in this quilt - watch for a...
