Paper Doll Quilt












This quilt was done by Brenda Shade. She sells these patterns and also kits. Kreations by Karen. I quilted this quilt for her. The little dresses are all so cute. The detail is exquisite. She does all her own smocking and the embroidery is beautiful. She gives lessons on making this quilt. She has over 50 patterns. Check out her web site www.kreationsbykaron.com This was a custom quilt and I enjoyed quilting it. Lots of work, but fun to do. I have since quilted a 2nd doll quilt for her. Photos to follow.

Not to be out done




After Hannah made her quilt, mommy decided she needed to make a quilt also. My sister in law Stacie made a turning 20 quilt from a stack of 20 Fat Quarters she found at the shop. She fell in love with these colors, I think it was from Moda and called Sunshine. Here she is learning to use a rotary cutter. For her first quilt, she still great. Much better than me. My first quilt top did not even come close to the size the pattern said it was to be. Stacie's was right on. She did great. My Mom went to visit a few months later and she took the quilted quilt to her. She then showed Stacie how to do the binding. Mom also gave Stacie her old sewing machine and I sent a mat, ruler and a cutter to her. Want to make sure she keeps quiltng.

First Quilt



My niece Hannah with her Nana. This is the first quilt she had ever made. It was made from a package of charm packs that Nana had. Hannah and her family were visiting from California. I quilted this for her and she took it home completed. I thought I had a photo of it quilted but i can not find it. Hannah was very proud of herself. She did a great job.

My family in true fashion! Lucky Aunt Boopie missed this fun. We have in order:

Family Reunion Quilt



This is the quilt my Mom and I made for the Warnick Family Reunion in 2007 I think. We held the reunion at my cousin Cindy's home, in Aledo, Texas. You can see the winner, my cousin Joey Jackson. My mom, Janie Robbins Dunsmoor pieced the quilt and I quilted it.
