Bed Sized Quilts

This queen sized quilt is the Monkey Wrench design made from fabrics from my scrap bin. Scrap quilts are a favourite of mine. When it was completed, I sold it. Machine pieced and hand quilted.



This design is known as a Sampler Quilt as it is a sampling of several quilt block designs and is a favourite used for teaching new quilters. This one was made as a sample for my 8 week beginner class which I have taught 54 times. It would fit a double to a queen size bed. Machine pieced.



This queen sized cat design quilt was commissioned as a retirement gift. Machine pieced and hand quilted.



This queen sized Dresden Plate design quilt was commissioned as a retirement gift. Machine pieced, hand appliqued and hand quilted.



This king sized Lone Star design quilt was completed as a gift for my mother. Machine pieced and hand quilted. The hand quilting alone in each of the cream coloured corner squares of the background of the star represents about forty hours of work.
