2009 Lyman and Debras Cabin Quilt

Lyman and Debra have built a cabin on Kolob Mountain.  For the Cabin, and Christmas, I finished them a Cabin Quilt just before we left on our mission.  This is a picture of the unquilted top. 

2010 Christmas Quilts on the reservation

2010 Chelsea John's Graduation Quilt

For Chelsea John the Indian Wells Branch Sisters made her a traditional Star Quilt.  She was delighted with it.  We tied it. 

2011 Four Inch Flannel Squares x3

I like to buy cute flannel fabric, cut it into 4" squares, and just save it til I want to make an everyday baby quilt.  This past summer I sewed up three of them.  Two I sent to Scarlett Miller who grew up in our ward, now lives in Brooklyn, New York, and recently had twin boys.  The third Carrie and I gave to the Quarm family in our ward who recently had their first son.  On these I did what I usually do and tied it with the  crows foot stitch. 

2011 From Korea

While we were on our mission our daughter-in-law Niki thought about us and sent me fabric to make a quilt.  She choose colors she thought would match the SouthWest.  I did not get the quilt made while we were on our mission, but I did finish it after we got home.  Carrie helped and chose the border and backing fabrics, which I think really work well.  Virginia Gore quilted it for me.  It fits a twin bed. 

2009 Buggy Barn Butterflies

Buggy Barn Quilts are such fun because they are easy to cut out, and you don;t try to match seams.  When a block is all sewn together you just cut it to size.  Carrie fell in love with these prints, so we made a buggy barn butterfly in order to use the fabrics. The borders are from a border fabric.   I made it twin size, and had Virginia Gore machine quilt it. 

2011 Another Barbizon Quilt

I am trying to made a quilt out of my stash of quilt fabric for each quilt that I buy fabric for.  This should reduce the number of my stored projects.  I have a tote labeled "Ruth Ann's Baby Quilts".  In it I found a pile of barbizon fabric cut into 3 1/2 inch squares.  I bought some lightweight heirloom fabric to alternate with the barbizon squares, and made a baby quilt for a fellow primary teacher.  It is so light and airy.  I hand quilted it.  I bound it using pink piping. 

Barbizon Quilt

Decades ago there was a Barbizon Nightgown factory in Provo.  They sold their scraps of fabric for next to nothing, and everyone made Barbizon Quilts.  The fabric was light, with delicate colors.  As a newlywed I started one, but only finished it in 2009 when we were cleaning out to get ready for our mission.  It is a basket pattern.  At the time I knew nothing about 1/4" seams, and little about matching points on triangles.  But I began to learn.
I had Virginia Gore machine quilt it for me after I left for our mission.
