Wow! The last time I blogged about quilts was THREE YEARS AGO? I've gotten way deeper into quilting since then. I joined the Denver Metro Modern Quilt Guild, which is a hoot. I've been to QuiltCon twice, in Feb 2024 in Raleigh, and just a couple weeks ago I went to QuiltCon 2025 in Phoenix. QuiltCon is amazing!
I just love quilting. I think about quilting a lot when I'm not quilting. Here are some of the things I've made since March 2022:
 |
This one is called Looper and I made it for Adam for his birthday in 2022. I like the retro vibe. First time trying curves, it went...okay.
|
 |
| This is a small wall hanging I made as a mystery quilt-along and then donated to the Arapahoe County Quilters fall auction. Another quilter bought it! (Nesting Phoenix by Ships and Violins) |
 |
This is New Horizons by Suzy Quilts. I made this for my colleague Ashley when she was in the hospital trying not to have her baby too early, and then all their Christmas presents and car got stolen from the hospital parking lot on Christmas day.

 |
| This little pillow I made for Adam for Christmas. It's a character from Adventure Time. |
 |
| I love this little baby quilt I made for my friend Carolyn's 2nd baby, Gwennie. It's called Hello Geese by Leila Gardunia. |
 |
| This is a small wall hanging I made for our guild challenge. We just had to use the two colors (purply and aqua-y) that you see here. This is the first quilt I designed myself! I even designed the FPP toothbrush!! I call it Murphy's Law. 😂 |
 |
Another small wall hanging quilt I did for a guild thing. We got to have a quilt display at the Denver Airport! I used an FPP pattern I have in a book, but designed the quilt myself! I called it Balloon Festival. I love it.

| Here I am with my little quilt at the airport show! | | | |
 |
I like making little quilts. This is a trivet-sized mini quilt. Pattern from Quiet Play.
|
 |
I made Phoebe this awesome Colorado quilt for Christmas of 2023. I used the panels and mini-panels I picked up at the Colorado shop hop in summer 2022. It turned out amazing! This is the back.
|
 |
| This is the front! |
 |
| I made this big kid quilt for Orion and gave it to him in Raleigh in 2024. It is called Deep Dive from Legit Kits. It took a long time to make!! |
 |
| I made this little guy for the new Lapp Lodge at La Foret! |
 |
My friend Michaela was having her second baby and asked me to make her a matching quilt to her first one (see March 2022 post). This is the same pattern, different colors, for Baby Z!
|
 |
I made this big kid quilt for Aurora and brought it to her in Vermont just a week ago! The Elephant is called the Matriarch by Pride and Joy Quilting, the little mouse is by TartanKiwi. I called this quilt 'Mouse and Elephant."
|
 |
| Here's a detail of the mouse (pre-binding) |
 |
| Made matching hats for mom and I to wear at QuiltCon in Phoenix. They were a huge hit!! |
 |
Then I gave the pink one to Aurora, who looks way cuter in it.

 |
This is my still-in-progress data quilt for my Quilt Your Life online quilting group. I made a book block for every book I read in 2023. The center is a color wheel key to what the different genres are. That color wheel took me AGES. Now I've got another skinny border to add and another border of books and then some more keys. I hope to finish this quilt by the end of 2025.
|
I've also made a bunch of individual blocks to send off to folks in my online quilting bee. The bee is okay, but I don't like it enough to want to do it again. But March is the month where people will start sending me blocks, so hopefully I'll have a really neat neighborhood quilt made from all their blocks soon. Below are some of the bee blocks I've made over the past year:
