Quilts
seem to take up Betty's time as much as Jon's hobbies. I
started quilting back in the late 70's, so have completed quite a few
quilts (although some are in various stages of completion).
I've been told that they did not turn out too bad.

This block of the month, is named
"Country Garden". This was a fun quilt was machine pieced and
hand appliquéd; hand quilted.
Jul 2004 - I put this one somewhere in the move to Houston. Don't have any idea what I did with this one! (Sep 2004 - found it!) |

OK, everyone has made at least one quilt from the Yellow Brick Road pattern. This is one that I machine pieced and quilted on the long arm, done in flannels. This one went to Jon's dad in Otis Kansas for Christmas (2004). | |

"Spoiled Rotten Christmas"
- This sampler is a combination of pieced and appliqué. There is
quite a bit of embroidery, as well as beads and buttons embellishing this
quilt. Hand quilted with holly leaves and berries in the sashing and
borders.
Jun 2000-This one is now finished, just have not updated the
picture! |

"Tennessee Waltz".
This quilt is somewhat scrappy, and was made for Rachael.
She laid out all of the blocks, and ironed as I sewed them together.
She then thought that I should be able to hand quilt it as quickly as we
got the top put together! (hand quilted).

Beware the child that
comes home from college and sweetly says "Mom, I would sleep so much
better under one of your special quilts at school". That means you only have about 3 months to get the entire quilt finished before she heads back to school! "Wyoming Whirligig" - from Kansas City Star in 1936 and again QuiltMaker May/June '98. |

Betty's quilt |
Hattie's quilt |
The left hand picture is a 'new' quilt made
for Lindsey a few years ago. She wanted to use her
great-great-grandmothers well-worn quilt, (the one on the right), so I
promised to make one similar. We used some old feedsacks that her
great grandmother gave me in the center squares, the rest are reproduction
fabrics. "Trip Around the World".
Note: There are frogs quilted around the outside green border. |
