2009 Cousin Claimed - Weslaco, Tx

My first go at making a Starburst pattern  found in a magazine… American Patchwork & Quilting Oct. 2008 from Better Homes and Gardens Creative Collection.  Or head over to this “LINK”   for step by step, pictures and King-size Starburst tut. 

The only reason I did it? Because it was my Grandmother’s favorite pattern  that she refused to share the How-To’s with anyone… It was her pride and “secret” on how she made it back in 1965..   My fav cousin in Tx now owns this lap size quilt.. She was quilting it last I visited her.

Pancake Pooh

This is the quilt that got me back into sewing and making More Quilts.   I saw a show on TV that made these round “pancake”  blocks.. So I fussy cut out some Pooh Characters and made a queen size quilt for DD#2 who loved the Pooh Movie.   It was her first Movie at age 3.  So for a FAMILY Memory.. Pancake Pooh was born.   2009.
