Well it has been a while since I posted anything on the blog. I have been very busy starting a lot of UFO's....LOL!!!! But here is my latest finish for my second cousins new addition.
Here is a close up of the block.
She is an Ohio State Fan. So the fabric is Ohio State. It turned out very well I think.

After about 28 years I finally got a picture of the very first quilt I ever made. I gave it to my mother-in-law and hadn't seen it in years. But here it is in all it's glory. A large Bow-Tie, made from double-knit that I had inherited from my grandmother, Rosy Lee Caudill Trusty.
My mother-in-law like it so I gave it to her. It is a one of a kind and is about full-sized.

Been busy here with the Holidays. But finally took the time to finish this quilt top. I thought I would never get the top to completion but today, Jan 1, 2018 it is finished. Now to quilt it. Not sure exactly how I want to quilt it as of yet. Thinking on that one. I will hand quilt this one, and not machine quilt it.
It is massive. The measurements are 120" x 136". Big enough to fit my king size bed with comfort. That is what the hubby wanted. It is made up of 42 - 12 1/2" grandmother's fan blocks and 1168 squares cut at 3 1/2". Will get quilted this year but not sure when as so many other's are taking a priority.

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.

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.
