List of Quilts
Yesterday I was trying to think of all the quilts I have made.
From Start To Finish:
Tuckahoe Angel, applique, colors on black. Gave it to my mother-in-law Flora Cage; when she went to a retirement home, she gave it back to me. Later I gave it to my friend Jackie; her apartment burned, and the quilt was burned up.
Bear's Paw with Flying Geese border. I still own this quilt.
Mountain Echoes. This quilt was made entirely of isoceles triangles in shades of rose and burgundy. The pattern and quilting made it resemble mountains. I sold it through a quilt shop in Birmingham.
Broken Sash. I still have it. This quilt contains over 6,000 pieces.
Appliqued Hearts. This quilt was fun to make. I gave it to my friend Miriam and her granddaughters who lived with her.
Tree of Paradise. This is a Christmas quilt, about 50 inches square, pieced "trees" in red and green on white. I still have it.
Ohio Star. This is a mini-quilt, still in my collection and one of my favorites. Blue and white.
Sailboats. A pieced child-size quilt in blues and greens on white. It was featured in an Oxmoor House quilt book. I recently gave it to Jackie because the angel quilt I gave her was destroyed in a fire.
Octagon Tiles. I made this baby quilt and gave it to a fellow-employee in the Social Security office, Birmingham.
Nursery Print. This quilt was made with blocks of stuffed-animal prints, baby size. I gave it to another fellow-employee.
Palm Leaf. Made for showing in an Oxmoor House quilt book. The most difficult quilt to piece. I gave it to my friend Miriam's daughter Sharon as a wedding gift.
Sampler, large wall-hanging. Inspired by Sena Jeter Naslund's book Ahab's Wife. I still have it.
Five-Star in shades of blue and white, made as a Christmas gift for my sister Pat.
Autumn Leaves. Red, green, yellow and brown on white (not quite finished). A quilt book showed an antique appliqued quilt with leaves on white. I interpreted the quilt in patchwork.
Two small wall-hangings with cats, inspired by a Georgia Bonesteel design seen in a quilt book. One featured multicolors, and I gave it to my mother; when she passed away, I took it back. The second cat quilt by the same pattern is in black and orange, a Halloween piece made for my sister Susan.
A group of miniature, doll-size quilts, various sizes:
Sailing Ships
Pinwheels
Old Maid's Ramble
Easter Baskets
Two 9-patch dollhouse quilts.
I hand-quilted all of the above except the Sampler, which was machine-quilted by Donna's-In-the-Attic as a gift from my sister Susan.
