Travis' Quilt




This is the fourth quilt that I did for my aunt. My cousin Travis got married to Leah in May and so my aunt wanted to give them a quilt for their anniversary as well. Travis is involved in the Westfield Fire Dept. so once again, I used the firefighter print that I had used for my dad's present as well as for his sister, Kimmy. It's a queen size, like the rest. I believe that I used a black binding and black backing for it. If the backing wasn't black then it was red at least. The pattern is an Around the World one.

Kimmy's Quilt



I believe this quilt went to my cousin Kimmy and her husband Clyde. Kimmy's mom wanted me to make quilts for her four children. Kimmy is having her first anniversary at the end of May and my aunt thought a firefighting quilt would be a nice fit. Kimmy is involved with the Westfield Dept. (along with her husband?) so we put on a firefighting print that I had used for my dad in his Christmas present. I came up with this floating block pattern. It was the first time I had ever done this pattern and I'm thinking that I may not do it again unless requested.

Steven's Quilt



My aunt wanted me to make a quilt for each of her children. Her youngest is in college and had a love of horses. He's always been around them and now even has a couple of his own. It was easy to pick out which print we would use. I found a maroon one with mostly tan horses, surrounded by ropes. I used a tan, black and maroon color to put it together. Justin came up with this Mountain Range pattern that we decided to use. I used a black binding and backing to use around the quilt.

Jayne's Quilt



I sent out a Christmas letter this past year and mentioned how I had been working on making quilts for a year. My aunt asked me to make four quilts ~ one for each of her children. She had an idea for each child, except for her youngest daughter. Well, we had our family Christmas and low and behold, my cousin (the one we had no idea about) asked if she could buy a quilt from me! She told me everything she wanted! I had to keep it a secret that her mom was going to buy it for her. She tried to send me a pic of her and her husbands' bedroom but it never went through. Her mom gave it to her this past weekend and she loved it!

Princess Dreams



I Love this quilt! I made this with one of the girls at the preschool in my mind. She's an absolute princess and what does a princess need to curl up with at night? A sparkly princess blanket of course!


This is done in a diagnol pattern with purple and pink squares. Each purple square has one of four Disney princesses on it (Cinderella, Belle, Snow White and Sleeping Beauty). There are also light purple swirls throughout the background. The pink squares are plain except for the small white magic stars on it. Both pink and purple, along with the princesses, have a pronounced shine to them when viewing them. The cost is about $70*. If you're interested then please let me know.


This is not a completed quilt as of yet. This is only the top. I still need to put a back and binding on it. However, if you want it then it can quickly be put together.

Jungle Fever


Rawr! That's right. It's Jungle Fever Baby! This is another one that I'm selling. The design is called a Novelty Block. It's really fun to do this kind. Anyway, the four patterns are a zebra, cheetah, leopard and tiger. The four corners are done in the zebra print. I think that print is my favorite since it really sets the oranges off. I did this in alternating rows going down. The binding is black and so is the backing. This one is selling for around $55-60*. If you're interested in this then please let me know.

The Glory of the 4th


This is one of the ones that I have made to sell. I really wanted to do it since I think that our American soldiers are some of our greatest heros. They are fighting whether they agree with the war or not and I respect that. Many men of my family have either fought overseas or at least has been involved in the military overseas.

So anyway, this is obviously done with red, white and blue colors. It is set in a diagnol pattern. The blue has small white stars and tiny red circles on it. There is a blue border that sets this piece. A red backing and a white binding sets off the patriotic flair. The cost for this is around $75*. If you're interested in it, please don't hesitate to ask.
