Butterfly in the Sky

This was probably one of my favorite quilts to make. It was easy to piece. The quilting part took longer than I planned. I quilted butterflies and loops, but it's a bigger quilt 72 x 83, so worked on it off and on for several days. The fabric is Bountiful Blooms by Sherri and Chelsea. I still need to put antenna on each of the butterflies though. I will probably embroider them on with a light gray floss. I will add more detailed pictures later and also a pic of the back of the quilt.

Completely finished:
NOTE: This one was donated to a silent auction to raise money for a young mother who has terminal cancer. I don't know how much it ended up being sold for. In 2025 I plan to donate several quilts for JustServe/Humanitarian Aid. Too much fabric and the family has too many quilts already.

Summer Table Runner

Yellow is my favorite color but I seldom make anything with yellow. Not sure why. I had these fabrics (Buttercup and Slate by Corey Yoder) for a while, so decided to make this table runner.




Jerri's Lap Quilt

We made a trip to North Idaho and stayed with Terry's brother, Wally. We gave this to his wife, Jerri. This is called a Potato Chip quilt. I've never made one before, so wanted to give it a try. Super easy, of course. Not thrilled about the pattern, but it does have a fun name. 
Here is a picture of the coordinating table runner in their home.

On The Go Baby Boy Quilt

Made for a friend who is expecting a boy soon. These are On The Go fabrics that I also used in Jonny's quilt a couple of years ago.
