Orange
and Blue - (summer 2005) This summer's quilt project was also
at Pandy's Quilts and I made this alternating four patch lap quilt. I
selected the orange and blue fabrics, cut the squares and sewed them together,
and completed the quilt top. I then machine quilted it. |

Rag Quilt - (summer 2004)
I took another sewing class for kids from Pandy's Quilts and this
time we made a rag quilt. I selected all of my flannel fabrics, then
sewed them into this pattern. I had enough squares left over to make
a pillowcase also. |

Science Explosion -
(summer 2003) In August, I took a children's class from the sewing
shop in my town that taught me how to make a sampler quilt. I picked
out fabrics that alll had some sort of science theme or that reminded
me of something scientific. That is how I named the quilt. The quilt
blocks that I learned to make are called, "Log Cabin," "Split Rail
Fence," "Half-Square Triangles," "Double Four Patch," and "Secret
Sawtooth Star." We used the book, "Kids
Start Quilting" by
Alex Anderson. I machine pieced the blocks, then tied the quilt. |

Nickel Quilt -
(December 2002) When my mom got a new sewing machine, I set to
work looking for scraps of fabric. I found some already cut into
5X5 inch squares. I then sewed them into a quilt. I added borders
and machine quilted most of it (Mom finished the rest). |
