Old Quilt Top

This quilt was made from a old quilt top that was Mrs. Aikens the blind lady that lived next
door to us for many many years. I quilted this and do not know where it is today. I think that Rickey had it for awhile and it was misplaced. I hate that because of it belonging to Mrs. Aiken made it really special.
The little quilt that is laying across the quilt is a Sun Bonnet Sue doll quilt that I made for Candi when she was a little girl. As all of my quilts these are/where special to me. Just more memories that last forever.

Merle's Fish Throw/Quilt

This is a little throw that I made for Merle. He has KOI fish but I could not find material with KOI so tropical had to do. He liked it tho.

Small Quilt
This is a small quilt/throw that I mad for Doris June. She wanted it to match her bedroom so I gave it to her.

This is a little quilt that is called Blue Work each block is done in all one color thread. Most do these in red but I wanted this one to be blue. Title is "The Little
Girl Gathering Eggs:

Sampler Quilt
This is one of the first quilts that I made. I use to watch a quilting show on tv and the lady taught the quilt by the block method. Each block was made and quilted and then they were set together to make the whole quilt. Turns out that this is not my favorite method for quilting and the only one that I made like that. It gave me a chance to work with several different styles of blocks and materials which is good practice for a beginner quilter. I find that quilting is a very relaxing hobby and one that I have enjoyed for many years. I still love to quilt and have a quilt of some kind going at all times. Quilts are Memories That Last Forever.

Blue Work Quilt

This little quilt is one that I made for Kyleigh Marie and it is what is normally called "Red Work" however I did this one in blue thread to match the border. This little pattern of Sun Bonnet Sue gatherinig eggs is another favorite of mine.

Candice Elaine Quilting

Candice lived with me when she was a little girl and I tried to teach her all kinds of things. She would watch me quilt and she wanted to try and she did pretty well. She could do anything that she set her mind to. She also was a very fast learner. I love this picture and enjoy the memories that go along with it. Memories That Will Last Forever

Wall Hanging

This was a quilting wall hanging that I made when I moved into my mobil home several years ago. This was made from the same material that my drapes were made of.

YO YO Quilt


This is a different quilt in fact I would not call it a quilt but a throw but the pattern called it a quilt. This one took a very long time and lots of little circles gathered up to make the yo yo's. When I got enough made I then by hand sewed each one together to make it the size I wanted.
I made this quilt and gave it to my friend and boss at the hospital in Claremore. Vicki Couch liked this and I told her if she ever got married (smile) I would give it to her. Well I didnt wait until she got married I decided to give it to her for her Birthday one year. It was a very colorful quilt and took a lot of circles and each one made by hand.
I never made another one like it but consider it to be one of my prettiest quilts that I have ever made. Good Memories in this quilt from the beginning to the end.

Very Old Quilt Block


This is just a quilt block that has not been put into a quilt. I just put a binding on it to preserve it. I am not 100% sure but if my memory serves me my Mother had this block in a trunk and when she gave it to me she said it was made by my father's mother Ludella Pearl Swafford McConnell. Of course that just makes it more special to me. I have never seen the pattern and I have looked in many quilt books for this pattern. It very well may be one she just made up. I know I do that a lot myself I just design my blocks the way I think they look good. Anyway you look at it this is a old block and very special to a quilter. Belonging to my grandmother make it just even more the better. This would really be a Memory That Last Forever.
