Patchwork Pals Baby Quilt
I made this quilt for my nephew's baby, and with every stitch, I felt my mom beside me. She taught me how to sew, how to love fiercely, and how to show up with warmth and care. She would have been over the moon about this new little life-her great grandchild-and though she's not here to hold him, her love is woven into every thread.
Thank you Designs by JuJu for the charming appliques!

The Garden Block Lap Quilt
Stitched as a heartfelt gift, this lap quilt blossoms with a delicate floral block pattern that radiates from the center like petals unfolding in spring. Each square is a bloom in a larger bouquet. The quilting features a meandering pantograph of hearts and butterflies, adding a whimsical layer that flutters across the surface like a breeze through a blooming garden.
Soft, inviting, this quilt isn’t just for warmth—it’s a stitched hug, a celebration of beauty, and a gentle reminder of the joy and beauty a handmade gift can bring.
From the Desert to the Tropics
Designed and lovingly stitched by Tamara Larsen, this quilt is a vibrant journey in fabric. A mix of intricate floral patterns with a row of varied block styles that create a stunning visual rhythm—each piece chosen with care for a dear friend she was soon to visit in South America. In the bottom right corner, the embroidered phrase “Del Desierto al Trópico” (“From the Desert to the Tropics”) adds a poetic touch, capturing both the spirit of the gift and the path of friendship it celebrates. A truly meaningful creation, stitched with heart and purpose.

Bubbling Baby Blocks
This sweet little quilt was lovingly crafted as a baby shower gift for a family friend, stitched from dozens of tiny 2-inch fabric squares that come together like confetti in a celebration of new life. The quilt is brought to life with a playful bubble pantograph, quilted in soft, swirling curves that add a gentle texture. These bubbly stitches seem to float like giggles in the air, wrapping the quilt in a sense of playfulness and joy. The design is subtle yet spirited—perfect for a handmade welcome to the world.
The Double Gift
The charming Paddington Bear quilt was stitched by Mary—bringing a childhood favorite to life in fabric form. Destined for family overseas, it’s a heartfelt gift that provides nostalgia and warmth. But the story doesn’t end there: the vibrant quilt beside it was crafted by Mary’s granddaughter, a burst of color and creativity that showcases budding talent and joy.
Together, these quilts represent more than cozy quilts—they’re a double gift. One celebrates the gift with a treasured character, the other celebrates the passing down of skills, stories, and love between generations. A legacy stitched in tandem, creating memories and traditions that will last for generations.
The Santa Surprise
This festive quilt, impeccably pieced by Teresa, captures the magic of Christmas Eve with Santa tiptoeing down the chimney, sack of toys in tow. The snowflake pantograph she chose in gold thread adds a subtle sparkle that dances across the quilt’s surface. It’s so delicately blended into the scene that it is barely noticeable on the main picture almost like snowfall itself.
But look closer: in the white border nestled between pinwheel blocks, those golden snowflakes truly shine. They echo the colors from both front and back, adding a touch of enchantment. It’s a quilt that wraps you with a little holiday magic.
Unfinished Vintage Vision
In the 1970's, Emma Corine Wyatt Fuller pieced these quilt tops with love and vision. Decades later, tucked away in a cedar chest, her great granddaughter found them and had the desire to finish them as a gift to her mom and to honor the vision of her great grandmother. I was honored to be asked to help with this process stitching past to present, letting modern threads mingle with vintage. These quilts now carry a legacy of women, willpower, and warmth- square by square, stitch by stitch.
Southwest Grandeur
This quilt by Patty, captures the spirit of the Southwest with a masterful blend of earthy tones and offset ancient imagery. Every block is so impeccably pieced, it creates a visual rhythm that echoes the geometry of adobe architecture. The colors are thoughtfully paired—saddle brown, sunset gold, crimson and terra cotta reds—each one contributing to a cohesive and evocative scape.
To complement the theme, an open squared pantograph was chosen, adding a subtle layer of texture that mirrors the quilt’s clean lines and structured beauty. The result is a piece that’s artistically rich—a celebration of place, precision, and the quiet grandeur of the Southwest.
T-shirt Memory Quilt
This quilt is more than fabric—it’s a stitched scrapbook of growing up. Pieced from T-shirts spanning elementary through high school, each square holds a moment: a team played for, a club joined, a milestone reached. From field days to senior nights, it’s a patchwork of pride, laughter, and late-night study sessions.
Wrapped in warmth and nostalgia, this quilt tells a story only time could write—one shirt, one memory, one stitch at a time.
