This was my first-ever quilt, a quillow – which is a combination of a pillow and a quilt.

Updated: I’ve posted a couple of tutorials on making a quillow. I’ve long since lost my instructions.

I purchased a panel of flower prints, cut them all up and sewed them back together to create this wall hanging.

I made my first stitch and flip quilt back in 1998/99. I immediately fell in love with the technique and have made, so far, three of these quilts. I kept the first one for myself (pictured), one went to my folks and another went overseas to England. I have tonnes of squares completed for a full sized bed quilt, to be completed one of these days.

A very simple quilt I made for my sister many years ago.

This was an applique sampler project I did from the Singer Quilt Projects by Machine book. It was a good learning project demonstrating various applique techniques. I made one for me and one for my mom.

I created several of these star placemats using a plastic template design. I did these in my early quilting days and definitely pushed my limits at the time. Not something I’d recommend for a beginner. The challenge was worth the finished results.
