Piece Name: Quarry
Size: 72" x 80"

Made as part of the store's "Pattern Choice" Gathering 2022.
It was an easy quilt but it was important to label each piece so the blocks went together properly.

Piece Name: Picnic Share
Size: 45" x 35"

While on vacation I was inspired by the Adventureland Quilt Pattern by Suzy Quilts. I modified that a bit, designed and put this piece together to share as a Picnic Quilt with some Raleigh-area friends.
I used the Liberty-Inspired fabric: Liberty Flower Show and quilted it "in the ditch".

Piece Name: "Sunflowers" and "Patriotic"
Size: Table Runners

Below are two table runners. Designs by Amelie Scott.  I love her designs.

The sunflowers has a funny story related to it….I got stung by a bee the day I started this quilt…lol.  
This was so much fun to do and combined embroidery and quilting.

Piece's Name: "Millefiori, La Passacaglia"
Size: 60" x 84"

This quilt was so much fun. The best part was how portable it was during the piecing phase. I carried the section I was working on around with me wherever I went. Careful. Millefiori is addictive!
