Tommy's Graduation Quilt

I made my nephew Tommy a quilt for his graduation from Queensbury High School in NY.  He is going off to SUNY at Potsdam this weekend.  He is an awesome soccer player and a great kid.  The quilt pattern is Bricks and Stepping Stones from Bonnie Hunter's Quiltville.  I changed the four patches to plain colored blocks because the quilt looked crazy with all the novelty prints used.  Each novelty print represents the people in his life.  For example, the hockey print is for his brother Shay, the pencils for Max, and the basketballs for Sam.  Good Luck in college Tom.  Love you,  Mary

New Post

I have been neglecting my blog, but read lots of other peoples blog.  Because I have my first follower, I will try to do a post once in awhile.  Last post was 14 months ago.  Here is a picture of my most recent finish:

 

The pattern is Crossroads from a class at the Button Box in Wellesley with Lynn Godin.  I named the quilt "Crossroads at Sunset."  I have donated the quilt to the "Kristen Orcutt Sunshine Foundation."  Kristen's family has an annual golf tournament in May to raise funds for scholarships for nursing students and nurses. 

 

Here is the label:

 

 

OK.  I have to get ready for Saturday quilt camp at St. Theresa's with the Proper Bostonians.  Have a great day!  Mary

My First Quilt

This sampler is my first quilt. I took a class at the Eliot School in Jamaica Plain in Spring of 2009 with Jeanette Tobin and Charlotte Halloran. Talented quilters and great teachers. They made is seem so easy and got me off to a good start. It hangs in my home office.
