Dream about teaching and Oh Fransson's Cat quilt

Quilters and Teachers- this is for you. As we all know teachers have strange dreams about school and quilters dream of quilting- now mine have merged. This is last nights dream- I'm just about to leave for my ACC night class from my high school and the swat team comes with one of my students parents saying they needed to get into a students locker- they suspected something was going on. The student had left class already and was  in another part if the

building. Dad gives permission to open the locker and the a ton of charm packs, chocolate bar packs, and fat quarter packs falls out of his locker. Parents are puzzled. Police confiscated my phone so I can't call ACC and tell them I'm going to be late. they hold me there till student comes back- he returns and is questioned,searched by police- is found to have a quilt pattern on him. The police question him and he says that he's been buying them on sale and stock piling them so he can make oh fransson's cat quilt along while he's recovering from leg surgery the next day and he didn't want his parents to know he quilted .

More Baby Quilts

I was so excited when my friend Tami found out she was having a girl. I could make another Vintage Sheet quilt and since we both went to Virginia Tech, I made her a VT Hokies quilt,too.

Math Quilt

My Department head is leaving so I was asked by co workers to make her a quilt. It was fun. I did the top
in one weekend. It took me about 15-16 hours though to machine quilt the top- but it was worth it and came out cute. Do you know what it is? Math people will be able to spot it right away!!!!!

Out of the Box

Here is my first out of the box block. The idea behind this is you pick 3 crayons out of a box and then randomly pick a block out of a block took book/swatch. It was fun. My colors were green, grey, and magenta. Can't wait to do another one.

Farm Fresh Baby Quilt

Here's the baby quilt for a coworker of
mine that's having a boy. I hope she likes it. I was so excited to try a tutorial I found in Pinterest by Sharon Schamber to baste my quilt on my table using 2 1x3 boards. It was amazing- fastest and easiest I have ever done to baste something together and keep everything lined up evenly .

Fandango Quilt- Finally

2 years after doing the top and
back, I finally got my fandango quilt quilted and binded

My Bernina Cover

My mom gave me a charm pack of flirt and I knew just what to do with it- make a sewing machine cover- I had to
buy a second pack of Flirt, but I think it came out cute!

Big Blue Batik Quilt

My mother gave me this quilt kit a year or so ago for my birthday. I started it a few months ago on a quilt retreat and finally got around to putting the top together- it's huge!!!!! I think it came out pretty good. Now I have to purchase fabric for the back and binding!

I decided to make a birthday present for a friend- her birthday isn't until May but I wanted to be ready. She loves pink so here's the top I made- crazy 9 patch
