Benartex Kit

The quilt top was made quite a few years by me as a store sample. I just loved the lively colors.   Most of my customer's didn't, as it took a long time to sell these kits!  The pieces were all pre-cut and you ironed them onto a fusible backing, then sewed along a fold line. It was quick and easy and gave very nice lines. The The corners were mitered,  and I fussy sewed the binding so the blue stripe would show up. Because the quilt is so "busy", the panto "popcorn" was used as an all over design.  A cheery quilt to cuddle in on a dreary day!  I call it my "Happy" quilt.

Mom's birthday blanket

Mom's birthday blanket was so much fun to quilt. She is in her 80's and gets cold. So I thought two layers of polar fleece quilted together would warm her up! I used a navy Glide thread top and bottom. Turned out so very nice. She loves it!
