Teaquilts

Welcome to my place on the web. I enjoy quilting and have been doing so since 1994, and I tend to quilt almost every day. I hope you enjoy my virtual quilt show as I share some of my projects with you. |

What's New: New items are written in red like this, "NEW". Check the following pages for new quilts or updated photos in the past three months:
See new round robin quilts in which 6 quilters participated.
Thirteen more WIPs have been added. I have a lot of quilt tops I made that need to be quilted! Make sure you click on the Embroidered Basket photo to see them all. This is my first attempt at hand embroidering. The basket includes very basic stitches so that even my being left handed did not prevent me making them. Sometimes being left handed is a nuisance when trying embroidery stitches. Added four new blocks.
I have a new page for Machine Embroidery Items in which I'll be adding photos on a regular basis. I have also created a new lecture titled, "Machine Embroidery in Quilt Making." The lecture will give tips for incorporating machine embroidery designs not only in clothing, pillows, and other traditional items, but encouraging the use in quilts as well. I have different methods for quilting the design, and when to quilt, using traditional patterns with machine embroidery, etc.
I have uploaded a lot more photos of quilts. Go to 2008 Quilts to see them; remember that a lot of 2008 quilts are listed under Machine Embroidery Items.
Two challenge quilts for 2008 have been added to Challenges Page 2.
Sorry, but the Confetti quilt pattern is no longer available for free. I performed two lectures in May 2007 and decided to sell the pattern. My friends have been strongly encouraging me to write a book, and this is my start. It happened rather quickly so I apologize for not giving advance notice that the pattern would no longer be free. I have developed a scrap quilt pattern with tips for organizing, cutting and using scraps and the Confetti pattern is part of this package. The pattern also includes three more scrap patterns. The pattern is on sale for $12.00 (regularly 16.00) until I decide whether to submit it for book publication. Handling and postage cost of $3 will also be added for 1st class mail. If you are interested in purchasing the pattern, email me for details. If you purchased the pattern at the two lectures I held in May, I have a few corrections.

My current quilt interests are: Machine Embroidery Items - My new love as of October 2007 is machine embroidery. That topic lead into one giant challenge of how to machine embroidery, what to embroider on (types of fabrics and stabilizers) as well as when to quilt and how to quilt. I'm having so much fun!
Scrap quilts - I have been frantically cutting my scraps into various size squares and use them to make scrap quilts.
Stack-n-whack quilts - I have started (some are WIPs) twelve of these quilts and have stash fabrics to make at least 15-20 more.
Block swaps - I participated in a snowman block swap and liked it so well that I started my own group. See "Links" page.
Hand appliqué - Took a class in January 2002 and have been addicted every since.
My other interests: Other than quilting, I like quilting (smile.) I love to roller skate and I bowl in a bowling league with my husband. I bowled a 300 (perfect score) game August 2001. Wow, I was beside myself. I also love to read and spend time with friends and family. |
