Turning-Twenty for Kim

Here is the Turning-Twenty Pattern that you asked for, it is from the book Turning Twenty by Tricia Cribbs. This is easy and so much fun, it never gets old!

Kaffe Fassett Strips

This quilt pattern was made by Liz Jones which she calls Molly's Strips. It is 3.5" strips cut at whatever length that you would like and then sewn end to end like a giant jelly-roll. Then you simply cut the first strip as long as you would like the length of the quilt and then start sewing along down each new strip. Up and down the quilt rather, if that makes it easier to understand. I picked all of these fabrics made by Kaffe Fassett, probably my favorit fabric ever! Liz sewed because once again, this was before I was comfortable on the machine. This quilt was also sent off to be quilted, but I am not sure by whom. This is probably my second favorit quilt other than my reproduction squares. The back fabric is Kaffe Fassett Lotus Leaf and it is AMAZING!

Pattern for Ringo's Quilt

Here is the pattern that I came up with for Ringo's Quilt. This make a very small square quilt for a very small dog, no larger than maybe 5lbs. Hope you enjoy!

4 A Blocks from a traditional Turning-Twenty Quilt

Ringo's Quilt

This little quilt was something that I came up with when I was digging through Liz's scraps that she had left over from some Turning-Twenty quilts that she was making out of fabric that she purchased in San Francisco from an organic fabric store that Emma worked at. I wanted to make a small quilt for my Yorkie Ringo and my boy friend's sister Emma's Yorkie Chloe. So I took 4 A Blocks and twisted them around in 4 different directions and ended up with this little guy. This was also the first thing that I quilted on Liz's long-arm and when I really fell in love with quilting! I believe most of the fabrics are organic except for the back which is brown fleece that I bought at Hancock Fabrics. Ringo and Chloe both love their quilts!

Old Yeller and Blue

This is one of the first quilts that I had a hand in making. I picked the pattern (which I can no longer remember what it is, sorry) and the fabric that was to go into it. At the time I did not sew so Liz (Jason's mom) sewed the pieces together to form the top while I cut and placed them how I wanted them. This quilt was made sometime around Dec. 2006 and was sent off to be quilted by a lady in Temple, TX, not sure of her name. This is still one of my favorit quilts and I get compliments on it to this day. Thanks Liz!

Update Already

So, as you can see, I've already changed somethings on here. I just felt that it needed a little more sophistication...whether or not I've achieved that?!? Either way, I'm happy with how it's looking and hope ya'll are too! Let me know what you think! Oh, and lets get some creative talk going on around here, after all, that's what this thing is for!

Purl Soho!

I just bought some fabric from Purl Soho today that is sooo cute! Its kinda vintage looking and will probably have to be used for a childs quilt but I couldn't pass it up. They had some great deals under their sale fabric...go check it out! The link is to the right under Favorit Fabrics!
