I never thought that I would sell any of my quilts. But, since my Suburban died (I mean the deaths of all deaths) this past summer, I have had to purchase a new car. I LOVE IT! It's a Black Honda Element. It has all the room I need to tote the quilts that I pick up from the shops and Batting and it get GREAT gas mileage! I was spending 500.00 a month for gas on the Suburban and then another couple of hundred for repairs that always seemed to be needed. So, in order to help pay for the Honda I'm selling some of my samples. If you are interested please call or e-mail me. The way I figured the price was $10.00/hour for my piecing time (Prudence and the Red & White were both done in 5 hours and the Zig-Zag took 10) the rest of it is materials and the regular cost of quilting. If the prices seem high, know that I only use the very highest quality fabric and each quilt is extremely well made. Fabric (quilt top, batting and backing) for most quilts runs around $200.00. If you have any questions PLEASE CALL. I'd be more than happy to answer them.
My Dear Prudence was quilted with 'Oriental Flowers' by Designs by Vickie. It's quilted VERY dense. I used Cotton Batting and Cotton Satine for the backing.........................................................$375.00

The next quilt is one of my own designs and yes I did a 'Humility Block' on purpose at the top center (there's a story if anyone wants to know). It has a Pico' binding, Bamboo batting and is quilted very dense with 'AE Flower w/ Butterfly' from Designs by Deb.......................................$435.00

Last, but not least, I made this red and white On-Point cotton quilt. This quilt is SO warm. I used Tuscany Silk Batting. It's a real treat. The quilt is light weight but warmer than any fuzzy quilt that I've ever had. It was after I made this quilt that I decided that all my personal quilts would have Silk batting in them! Each of the Sashing strips and the posts are made from different red fabrics. This quilt is quilted very dense too with a Poppy Design by Anne Bright that is no longer available. The back is pieced with different red and white fabrics.......................................................................................$365.00
