Sophie's Baby Quilt

("TV is so much more relaxing under my quilt!" - Sophie)

Mom made this baby quilt for her newest niece, Sophie, for her first birthday in 2008, just to play on.

Leigh's Graduation Quilt

(Mom and Leigh show off this pretty in pink graduation gift)

This quilt was made for Mom's niece, Leigh, upon graduating from the University of South Carolina in 2007. As you can tell, Leigh chose pink for her theme color. Mom and Leigh are sorority sisters, as you can see in the dedication, below:

Hearts of Friendship Quilt

Mom dedicated this friendship quilt to me (Sarah). It's part of my growing collection of quilts for the multi-bedroom house I'll have someday. This quilt was shown at the Centre Pieces Quilt Guild's 2005 quilt show.

Dakota's Baby Quilt

(Dakota's baby quilt, which hangs in her room)

This baby quilt was made as a gift for Mom's sister-in-law to give to her niece for her first birthday in 2005.

Flowers and Sky Quilt

This quilt is made up of a basic grid in which every other block contains a flower from different fabric.

Fantastic Friends Quilt

(Fan Quilt - Completed seven years after it was started)

This friendship quilt was created by Mom using fan blocks made by her fellow quilters at quilt camp in 1995. Each block was signed by the person who made it. Mom finally finished the quilt in 2002.

Grandmother Muscarella's Quilt

(Great Grandma's Quilt with the blue ribbon it won)

This quilt was made for my Dad's Grandmother for her 90th birthday. All of the quilting was tediously done by hand (it's difficult to appreciate in photos). Mom showed it in the Centre Pieces Quilt Guild's 2005 show, where it won first place in the Appliquéd Bed Quilts category. Someday, when I own another bed, it will come live with me.

Rose Sampler Quilt

(Green and pink quilt - sideways view)

This is one of Mom's quilts that I can remember covering her bed and my bed since, well, as long as I can remember. Since it is a sampler there are variety of block patterns.

Here is a rose detail:

The Rusty Sampler Quilt

(One of the old ones!)

Here is one of Mom's first quilts, or as I call it, "The Rusty Sampler". There are a variety of blocks all in maroon, pink, and rusty red fabric, including a B for Bobbie.
