Hooty and Tweet

The little cuties are Hooty and Tweet from the pattern by Melly and Me. They were quite fun to make and I learned a good bit in the process.

They were a gift for one of my best friends that is like the Hooty to my Tweet... or maybe the other way around.
I really like that Kaffe stripe for the legs too.

Pterosaur Mini Quilt

This winged creature is embroidered from a iron-on pattern found at a Maryland Goodwill. I really like the Quilter's Linen line for embroidery work.
Then I framed it with batiks and quilted both machine and then by hand with pearl cotton.

I had a good time with this creature and will have to make him some friends soon...

Completed (so far) in Jan of 2011...

Air Force Star

This lovely quilted pillow is the first item I ever made with the foundation paper piecing technique. I really enjoy this process and have many plans for using it in the future!

It is a brilliant original design by Marcia Hohn. The pattern can be found: http://www.quilterscache.com/A/AirForceStarBlock.html .



I quilted the back as well and used an 'invisible' zipper along one side. I really enjoyed making this block and turning it into a pillow. Pillows this size are what I call 'knee pillows.' They are prefect for side sleepers.

 
(I think) I made it in May of 2009 as a graduation/ commissioning gift.
