Hannahberry Bouquet

 This is a Missouri Star Quilt pattern called "Vintage Bouquet".  I loved it when I saw Jenny Doan do the tutorial on it and knew I had to make this quilt.

The tutorial can be found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehLaOKysRmY

Blocks are made with Folktale by Lella Boutique for Moda; background is from Kimberbell Basics brown scroll from Maywood Studios; Backing is Contempo's Twilight Eternity Circles from Benartex; and the binding is made from a brown tonal fabric.  All of this fabric was purchased at our local quilt shop (where I happen to work part time).

The quilt finished at approximately 72" x 86".

I had bought the "Orange Peel" die for my Accucut Grand Mark die cutter and was so happy with the results.  This quilt has 504 orange peel (or petal) shapes.  No way was I going to cut those by hand.  I pressed the Wonder Under® interfacing onto the strips, and within a half an hour the shapes were ready to use. (Who doesn't have an empty Christmas cookie tin around to put your project pieces in?)

My granddaughter checked out this project and wanted to help place the orange peel/petals onto the half square triangle blocks.  She did a great job.  I pressed the petals onto all of the blocks.  She is such a great little helper!

Finished size approximately 72" x 86"

Quilted in an edge to edge loop pattern

Of course the label!  I had to have Hannah's name included

since she helped place many of the orange peels ready

for Grandma B to press on.  I added the berry to her name as I 

was writing a children's story using Hannah's name but the

character is named Hannahberry!

I hope you all are enjoying this new and exciting year of crafting/quilting/having fun with each other.  May Heavenly Father bless you in all that you do and protect you from all ills that may surround you.

The Cabin on Lovell Lane

 Tom reconnected with the Wood family a couple of years ago.  McKay was his best man at our wedding.  Emma Rae, Mckay's sister, resides in Arkansas in a log cabin.  I wanted to make something special for her & her husband Darrell so of course it had to be a log cabin quilt.  I used tans/browns/blues.  The backing is a soft cuddle flannel.  I machine quilted this quilt with a stipple pattern.  The label had to be bordered with chicken fabric as they raise chickens.  We will get it sent off today. Hope they like it.  It finished at 74 1/2" x 108".  I set the blocks in a starburst pattern.
