This quilt I finished the end of October 2017.  It has been in the works for about 10 years.  The pattern is from an old quilt magazine and is called Indian Hatchet.  Or it's newer name is Hugs and Kisses.  Enjoy!

I absolutely love this quilt.  I made it in 12 sections and then sewed the fronts together and hand stitched the backs closed.  This method is called Quilt As You Go or QAYG for short.  The blocks are approximately 5 1/2" square.  I think I might make another one only with bigger squares. 

So just got finished with this flimsy (quilt top not quilted).  Am thinking about finishing it up for my grandson.  Just depends.

Can't decide on how I want to quilt it though. 

Okay if you aren't sick of seeing photos of some of my quilts then continue looking.....LOL!!  I am trying to get them all in one place but that is kinda hard.  There are so many of them......

This is a grandmother's fan that I made 20+ years ago for my husband's grandmother.  Still in pristine condition as she has had it in a cedar chest.  Go figure!  When I got it out to photograph it I left it on her bed.  Not sure where she has it put now.

This quilt was just thrown together with zig-zag stitching and I would say a great way to use up scraps.  Was gifted to my son's girl-friend at the time.

This particular quilt I made in about 2000.  Made it for a team member.  The name of the pattern is "Ribbon Star".

This is another one for the daughter.  She had SOOOOOO many t-shirts that I just about gave up on ever getting it completed.  But she loves it. 

This is my sons t-shirt quilt.  It is a little over king size.  Has it on his bed now. 

This was an 8-point star that I decided needed to be finished.  So I did it QAYG.  This is my go-to quilt when watching tv....Love it...

This is a quilt that I originally started for my husband grandfather, but he passed before ever seeing it.  He loved scrap quilts...

Here are a few more pictures of quilts that I have made. 

 This one is called "Snake in the Hollow".  I won a 2nd place ribbon on this one. 

 This is an "8-point star".  Loved doing this one. 

 If I am not mistaken this one is a "Shoo-fly".... Won a 3rd place ribbon on it.

 My first quilt as you go project.  Still in good condition.

 This one I made for a friend's retirement.  She retired from Avon Products so the lip fabric was a great find.

 This is a mini bow tie.  Love it.

 This one is for my 1st grandbaby.

 This one was for my husband.

 This was a small bow tie I made when I lived in Carthage, Indiana.

 This one resides on my bed.

This is my very 1st t-shirt quilt and it was a commission.

After looking at all of the quilts I have made over the last 30 years I decided to try to get all of them posted on the blog.  Hopefully this will be a great way to keep up with what I have accomplished over my lifetime.  We shall see. 

This one was made for my daughter.

This one was also made for my daughter and is QAYG.  (Quilt As You Go)

This one was a top that my grandmother did before she passed away.  I only hand quilted it.  I won a ribbon for it. 1st place (blue)

This is a quilt that I made all hand sewn and gave to my mother and step-father.  I don't know what ever happened to it.

This bow-tie was a top for a long time because I just couldn't choose fabric to go on the outside of it.  Finally got it finished 2-3 years ago and it now resides on the foot of my bed.

This is a grandmother's flower garden I started the flowers about 20 years ago.  I backed it with Minnie Mouse fabric and gave it to my granddaughter 2 years ago.

This is a T-shirt quilt I made for my son-in-law from his Army t-shirts.  It is huge.  Gifted to him in 2016.

3 Commissioned Quilts

I have been working hard on trying to get some UFO's completed but it isn't working for me just yet.  I had 3 commissioned quilts that needed to be completed before I even thought about the UFO's.  Here are the 3 that were commissioned. 

So after getting these 3 quilts completed and out the door it is back to UFO's...Hopefully I can get something accomplished here soon.

This is a quilt that I made my niece for her new baby.

The quilt below was made for my niece's older child who loves John Deere tractors.

Both of these quilts were made in 2016.  I have yet to get one completed for 2017.  I am on my way but not quite finished with my first one for 2017.  I will post a photo when I finish the first one of 2017.

Hello

Hello Everyone,

My name is Cathy and I love to make quilts.  I started quilting when my grandmother passed away and my mother gave me all of her quilting supplies.  That was a long time ago.  Since that time I am sure that I have made at least 50 quilts.  Most of them by hand at first but now I am doing a lot of them on the sewing machine.  I still hand piece some of them but most of them I started piecing on the machine because there is only one me, and there are so many wonderful designs out there.

I do have a list of quilts that are in progress.  Or what some call UFO's (un-finished objects) LOL!!  I would say about 30-50 of those UFO's that are either started or are being cut out.  Which by the way, I still do the old fashioned way, with scissors.

Be on the lookout for pictures of my previous quilts which I will be posting soon.
