Cotton Quilts



My first love in quilting will always be the design and making of traditional quilts using cotton fabric.  I use a variety of techniques including rotary cutting, fussy cutting by hand, hand piecing, machine piecing, paper piecing, and machine or hand applique.  I will always enjoy and prefer hand quilting the layers together.  When I was writing my books, it was necessary because of time restraints to send out some of the tops for machine quilting.  As I am a control freak, I've always regretted that -- they just never seem like they are totally my creations even though they were expertly machine quilted.  But, now in my elderly years because of arthritis and failing eyesight, I am resorting to learning about machine quilting on my domestic machine.  All of the quilt tops were made by me; and when they were quilted by someone else, it is so noted.  Also, the quilts, except where noted, are owned by my husband, Bob, and me.
Please excuse the quality of some of the older photos -- conditions were not always optimum in the good old days.
Some of the quilts I love, some not so much; but I have learned something from every quilt I've made, and hopefully improved over the years.
When you quilt for 70 years, you make a lot of quilts.  Here are most of them in reverse chronological order.

The utility quilts that I made between 1951 and 1980 are gone -- used up -- discarded -- relegated to the rag bag!  Any photos of quilts during that time are also missing in action.  Somewhere, there should be some pictures of some hand-quilted pillows from the late 1960s; I'm still looking.
