These 3 were gifts rather than prayer quilts.

Each time I go to my thyroid and breast doctors they have pretty quilts hanging a patient made them. I decided my heart doctor needed one and what else for a cardiologist except a giant red heart. Pattern is called Exploding Heart and I used random reds for the heart.

The 2nd and 3rd are nearly identical unless you could see the actual blocks up close. I made them as Christmas gifts for our pastors wives. I didn’t want anyone saying one was prettier than the other so I used the same fabrics for both.

The first one’s colors were so outside my comfort zone but I think I like the final look. Its a jelly roll hexagon I gifted for a prayer quilt.

2nd one is a prayer quilt using pattern called BQ with a Kaffe Fasset out of print fabric.

3rd one is one I’ve wanted to try for a long time. Uses Philip Jacobs prints called agate and pattern is called Chopsticks.

Like I said, my life is mostly work and quilts so the most of what you’ll see here are quilts lol.

The first is an octagon using Moda fabric. I thought this wouldn’t actually work. I’ve never tried using an ombre fabric before but love this when it was finished. I think I might have enough left over to make another.

The 2nd one one is another hexagon using another Philip Jacobs fabric called agate.

3rd one was for a friends baby. Used Tula Pink pom and stripe fabrics. Mom sent a picture once baby was born.

3 more for August. They were all prayer quilts to church members.

The first is called binding tool star using a jewel jelly roll.

2nd one I think turned out fabulous. Its another 4 patch posey using a Philip Jacobs fabric.

3rd one is a pattern called Diamond Pops by Donna Jordan. Super easy and comes out so pretty in any color.

The first is another hexagon using the Tula Pink everglow giraffe fabric. It went to my prior bosses new grandbaby. I love how it turned out. Wish I had a better picture.

The second one is another prayer quilt in a 4 patch posey design. That color wasn’t easy to match.

As always most of my quilts are gifted as prayer quilts. I hadn’t realized until lately that I seem to be slowing down and don’t get as many done. Figured I’ll post them by the month. These are ones I finished in June of 2025. More months coming up next.

The first is a hexagon because you know I love making them. The second is a panel I’ve been planning for a while.

Like I mentioned, life is pretty quiet but I did buy new living room furniture last year. When I looked it up it didn’t seem that long ago but the boys and I love it. Had to add a cartoon just because I found it funny.

Our friend Pam amd her family take a trip each year and if any way possible she brings each of us a piece of fabric from her trip and we all make a quilt. 2025 was her trip to Japan. We are blessed she’s willing to run around in all these countries and find us something special.

She let us each pick a piece and I made one for a headboard above my bed. Hoping at some point to add a matching bed runner.

Some of the individual blocks.

I had to post these just because he’s so cute. He will literally sleep anywhere. He loves the Crack between the sofa and the wall.

I had to stop and ask myself so what have I been doing since last year. It’s pretty easy to forget to blog it because I live a pretty quiet life but that works for me. Not much exciting goes on except work, quilts and dogs.

Funny update with dogs. We had to get a new groomer and unfortunately I wasnt completely clear when we talked about short hair for the summer. She shaved Argus and Baby dog almost down to the skin. Believe it or not it has taken close to a year for Baby dog to grow his coat back. Merlin never has to worry as he gets a very basic trim. Unfortunately that groomer is now gone so we are looking for a new one AGAIN.
