I took on this enormous project as my 14th quilt (in 2004), just a few couple of years after I made my very first one. When you look at this quilt, you might not think it looks like an enormous undertaking, but considering this was the first time I tackled a quilt without having a step-by-step pattern to follow.

This calendar quilt, named Strolling Down the Block, was the 18th quilt I started working on. I say started working on because I started it in January of 2003 but didn’t finish it until the middle of 2004 so I did finish some other quilts before this one was done.

This amazing wall hanging was the 79th quilt I made. While I love the look of it, it wasn’t the easiest quilt I have ever made as each one of the little squares are only 1-inch square (finished size).
So, the 23rd quilt I made wasn’t one that was intended to be used on a bed — it was made to be used on a dresser! It was so colorful and fun, and, I think, the first one I was hired to make.

My 15th quilt was made from a pattern from The Buggy Barn named Heart Crazies (sorry, this quilt looks like it is no longer available). I made this in March of 2004 at the same quilt retreat that I made Katie’s Graduation Memory Quilt. Because Katie’s quilt was going to be a surprise, I chose to also make this quilt so I would have something to show off when I got home.

During one of my trips to a local quilt shop in my early days of quilting, I found an adorable snowman quilt.
I was my second year of going to Quilt Retreat and I was looking for a project. Since it was so close to winter, I thought the snowman choice was perfect. I had never made a row quilt, so that was another plus. (This was my 20th quilt over all)

What do you think of these flannel scarves??? They are about 30-inches long and about 12-inches tall. The outside is high-quality flannel and the inside is either flannel or cuddle fur (depends on the style). Some of them are even reversable!

This French Roses Quilt by Heather French was my 21st. I actually bought this quilt kit at Spring quilt retreat in 2004 but didn’t make it until the Fall 2004 retreat.
I had no purpose in mind when I bought this kit. I just fell in love with the fabric pack and the pattern design. I had yet to make a raw edge applique quilt so that enticed me too.
