2025 QUILT FINISHES

It’s Valentine’s Day

And I love my quilts!

I hope you do too!

I didn't get a full photo of this beachy feeling quilt for

Laressa, my person in Myrtle Beach who helps me

book my resort when I visit my son!

Summer Picnic is a winner!

Starstruck Ghastlies used up a lot of my OOP stash!

I'm talking early lines from 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012

Twisted Geese, by Zen Chic was a fun one

and now I'm not afraid of a gaggle of geese!

This was a pattern test called Sweet Mae.

And the FQs were by Zen Chic as well.

A wonky churn dash used up a layer cake I had in my stash.

I love this design...tutorial by Missouri Star, Freestyle Churn Dash.

I finally finished some Ghastlie wonky star blocks into a top.

This was all part of a IG swap many years ago.

Oh now we are talking about some more wonky flying geese,

Monkey Wrench pattern and more Zen Chic fabrics.

Fall Breeze by V & Co

Fabric is GRUNGE set on a light gray tone on tone.

I finished a baby quilt for our great-granddaughter

and Great-grandad Phil snuggled under it!

When she arrives…her name will be

Anora Blair Chatman

Last but not least was Felicity the Feisty Flamingo.

A mini quilt for my sewing room!

Collage by Laurie Heine!

I had a good year...and 2026 will be as much fun as 2025!

KWILTY GIRLS WINTER RETREAT 2026

I made it to a Kwilty Girls Retreat!

I have missed sew much the last 6 months due to

My hubby s health. He is getting better

And finally at a place where I felt I child leave him alone.

He did habe a friend take him to lunch and check on him.

And his daughter covered one day for me

Sew nice to have some backup.

Caregiving is a full time job…

I need a raise!

This girl needed GIRL TIME.

It may have begun with my 

Wonky FG Patty quilted for me!

Celtic Sea w Mustard thread!

I sewed up this Scot’s Plaid design for my hubby.

He turns 80 in February and 

Was a TV repairman for 40 years!

This is his bday gift!

And a great steak dinner!

Then I made the Quilty Love design top

Using AnnaMaria Horner scraps 

that Kim Hensey gave me!

Kathy Guenther was thrilled to get her FOREST quilt

Patty had quilted for her. 

Love that E2E design!

This one, Play a Card, was also quilted by Patty 

Kathy spent most of her time over the weekend

Working in this beautiful Flying Geese Quilt top.

Lucinda Miller is always a busy bee at retreat.

Her rendition of Twusted Geese, Zen Chic is lovely.

She’s becoming a master at LV scrappy backgrounds.

She was knitting! Her first dish cloth!

She made a quilted basket!

Finished a floor rug pattern by Tami Pfeil 

Tami Pfeil was sewing uo this design she created 

And we can’t wait to see what this Nutcracker

When Tami finishes it !

Kim Hensley was making this Flag Quilt for her

Sin ti be nephew who is getting his US  citizenship soon. 

And this fabulous baby Quilt made in low volume log cabins 

Patty Estadt worked on a charity quikt.

And spent most of her time sewing together tractors! 

 Of course, hers were much cuter…I can’t find the pic!

Our next retreat is in April and my fingers are crossed

That I can attend that one too!

BABY CHATMAN QUILT!

A new great-grand daughter arrives in January.

I made her quilt, long before she was a gleam in her daddies eyes!

I was at Ocean Isle Beach a few years ago and made

a test pattern using Into the Woods Jelly Rolls...

I've always loved Lil'' Red !

The pattern was called TYPE and a very quick and easy make.

There was a local garden, not far from the beach

so I made a journey there for a photo op...

Into the Woods.

Then home it came and sat on a shelf for several years.

Now that Baby Chatman was in the works...

I found a backing that would work for this one.

I still floor pin my quilt sandwiches....it works for me

cept my old body doesnt care for it.

I wanted to quilt this one myself....so down I went.

It really didn't take long to quilts as I

just quilted some serpentine lines.

I made a scrappy binding that was just perfect for framing!

And now we wait...til she arrives!
