July 22nd, 2008 | by Jessie | Here it is.
This is the quilt I designed and made for a customer’s parents’ 50th anniversary. I posted the draft of this quilt about a month ago, here. I put a ton of hours in last week and got it done at 2:30 am the morning of the anniversary party, which was last [...]
July 9th, 2008 | by Jessie | Progress on Lovebirds (Circle gets the Square):
I finished piecing the entire top last night. I had to stay up until 12:30 am to do it, but sometimes you just can’t quit when you’re on a roll!
I used a variety of fabrics that contained red, black and white. Funny, I liked the boldness [...]
July 8th, 2008 | by Jessie | Here’s the story about the quilt that I finished but can’t take credit for:
It was May and I was finishing the Boy with a Coin quilt for a customer. Let me take you back even more… whenever I design a quilt, the first thing I do after I have the design is calculate how [...]
July 3rd, 2008 | by Jessie | comments closed I’m more excited about my modern quilt design now that my sister likes it. So, here it is:
Doesn’t look like me, huh? Simplistic, retro, high style, funky. I’m digging the bird silhouettes – they will be appliquéd onto a white background. I’ve been seeing birds pop up in art & decor recently: at [...]
June 27th, 2008 | by Jessie | Back to the quilt I posted yesterday hanging on my new, beautiful quilt rack.
The quilt is made up of the traditional Birds in the Air blocks shown here:
The black units would be the birds, the white represents the air, and the red I would guess is the land (or water?). Traditionally pieced, [...]
June 20th, 2008 | by Jessie | I was hired to design and make an anniversary quilt for a couple marking their 50th wedding anniversary, which was in April, but they are celebrating it with a reception next month.
Can you tell I love stars? It was strategic, there are 50 stars on this quilt, one for every year of wedded [...]
March 6th, 2008 | by Jessie | Well, thank you all for your feedback regarding different settings for this quilt.
I like the fact that different people like different settings. It’s nice to have options as no two quilters are the same.
I’ve decided that my sample will be done using option 3 and another shop sample will be done in [...]

Here is one of my current projects. It’s a small quilt that will finish approximately 24″ square – great for putting on a table or hanging on a wall. I’m also writing a pattern for it; I will teach a class on how to construct the quilt later this year at Adel Quilting and [...]
February 14th, 2008 | by Jessie | Happy Valentine’s Day! Today is an extra special Valentine’s Day for my family. I’ll tell you more tomorrow.
For now, do you remember those vibrant fabrics I posted in an earlier blog? This is the new pattern in which I’ll be using that same fabric. It will have some easy applique – a departure [...]

I’m working on quilt for a woman who is expecting her baby granddaughter in less than a month. From my website, she selected the “Grace” pattern pictured above. I found the cutest fabrics for her quilt last weekend; I’m in the planning stages now.
Before I make any quilt, I draft it [...]
