Last Quilt of 2022
Here is my last quilt of 2022. I enjoyed getting back to quilting. This was a quilt for a special couple in our church. They married at Christmas and I made one of my "go to" quilts--a jelly roll Christmas quilt. Size is about 42" by 56", I think.

A Little Catching Up
Just a little catching up on projects not posted in a few months. I stay busy in my quilting room. It is my happy place. I always apologize for the photo quality. I imagine one day learning how to take a better picture.
This first quilt is one I love, but the picture does not do the colors justice. It is 55" by 55" and made of Free Spirit fabrics which are so bright and cheery. It is from a book called "Happy Hour" and I have made so many quick quilts from this book.
This next photo are three dolls I made with my dear friend, Janet. She had a friend who had a nephew born without a thumb. The doctors will perform surgery to add a thumb using his pointing finger. We made the "Dolls like me" for each of the three sisters. The hands were a challenge!!!
Next-- a look at my Christmas stockings I made from Shabby Fabrics. They were so much fun and so adorable.
I have posted this next picture several years ago but never had a full view of the quilt. I found this and wanted to post it just for me.
The next few pictures are of my "travel quilt". This hexagon quilt has been in progress since 2008. The hexes for been from Port Gibson, MS to Peru (8 times), New Zealand, Alaska, Colorado, Illinois, New York, Shipshewanna, Gatlinburg and all the states in between. I have finally finished it. The ladies in one of my favorite quilts shops in Gatlinburg picked out the gray border. No other color seemed to work. I did add the border to protect the sides of the quilt. I am not sure how long the points would stay points if handled. After so many years in the making, I did not think I had another 10+ years to handquilt, so I used my Gammill Elevate to quilt it and get it finished. It was about time!
