Three more blocks finished tonight.

See all the bonus half square triangles to the side.  They will make a great border.  I get four of them with each block I finish so I will have more than enough to go around this king size quilt. 

I only have 7 more blocks to make and then I can start sewing them together.

Pineapple Blossom (Getting Bigger)

This is the quilt from the Bonnie Hunter Class.  She has this and many more free patterns on her website you must check it out.   Here is the link to this quilt pattern Pineapple Blossom.  You may also notice that I have a link to her website on my home page.  


This is a big WIP and getting bigger.  I am making this for my king size bed.  I now have 46 - 12.5" blocks. Only 10 more to go.  I can't wait to start sewing this together.  I have to hurry my mom is ahead of me. She is sewing on her boarders.  

Mine is bigger. 

This is what my mom is working on.  She decided to put sashing and corner stones between her blocks.  I like how that looks.  I just love the blue and white.  Cant wait to show more pictures when she finishes.

Pineapple Blossom


This is just the beginning

I had the pleasure of attending a Bonnie Hunter workshop with my mother in January.  We had a wonderful time on the west coast of Florida.  Our class was on a thursday so we made a long weekend out of it.   We went to every quit shop in a 60 mile radius and we even did some sewing in the hotel room.

Mom found out that Bonnie Hunter was coming to Punta Gorda in January to teach classes and do a lecture/trunk show.  Peace River Quilters Guild was putting this on so Mom contacted them to see if there was any openings for the class.  We got in!!!    

More To Come

Quilts of Valor Blocks

My guild (Martin County Quilters) asked us all to make two matching 6.5" blocks that are red, white and blue with a star in them.  One will be used in the quilt and the other will be put into a raffle.   Here are my blocks.  I was just going to make 2 but I couldn't decide.


Whoops I have no red in my wonky stars.  I'll have to figure out how to fix that.

Baby Quilt Finished

My first finish for the year.
The quilt label made with my printer.  It's so easy. Maybe I'll do a tutorial soon.

I am starting another one this week. Lots of new babies coming. I llove this "Warm Wishes" pattern. I'll post the link to the pattern here when I have a chance.
