So here goes my list for 2020!

Quilts Finished in 2020

1   Checkerboard Rail Fence Quilt.   This was a Bonnie K Hunter Leader Ender 2017 Challenge.  I put a red plush blanket on the back and gifted it to my grandangel Chris for High School Graduation.  It was quilted by Sara Parrish and measures 67 1/2 x 78 1/2.

2   Scrappy Grandmother’s Flower Garden.  This quilt took me 10 years to complete.  Yes.  I started making the hexies when I was visiting my parents when they were mostly housebound.  We rented lots of movies!  If it weren’t for a Transformation Quilt Group Challenge it might still be in pieces. I designed this quilt and unfortunately I can’t seem to like it.   It measures 80 x 102, has  a black back, and was quilted by Joyce Bailey.  I promised it to my Grandangel Harry Johnson for his first  musical album cover.

3   Albert the Elephant Quilt.  This is 33 x 34 and has a red flannel back.  It was designed by me and created for Collin Cleo Albertson born March 10, 2020 (8 lbs 9 oz.)  Sara Parrish did the quilting.

4   Good Fortune II Quilt.  This is a 2018 Quiltville Mystery designed by Bonnie K Hunter and quilted by Sara Parrish.  $150.  It has a luscious purple plush back and I have to thank Karen Carvin  for hand sewing the binding down!  This was Grandangel James Johnson’s High School graduation gift.

5   Wonky Diamonds I Spy Quilt.  I designed this quilt and Joyce Bailey quilted it.  56 1/2 x 80  $80.  I donated this to the Transformation Church program for single pregnant moms.

6   Let it Snow Quilt (Red Truck Panel).  Sara Parrish quilted this for me  $60, 41 1/2 x 60 1/2.  I did the piecing.  I just love RED TRUCK anythings!

7  Larry Lion Quilt.  This quilt has a story.  I saw a photo of a Lion Quilt in a magazine and I laid out 2 inch squares on my floor (design wall wannabe) until I had what I thought was a lion.   47 x 60  quilted by Sara Parrish.  This was given to my daughter, Jennifer Christine Johnson Epps  (a belated baby  quilt.)  As a child she always complained that her brother had a baby quilt and she didn’t.  So better late than never!   When Christi was small, she couldn’t pronounce her Ls so I  had my Grandangel Chris embroider the poem that I used as speech therapy for little Christi on the back of the quilt.  This may be my proudest accomplishment.

8   Red and White Hunter Star Quilt.  This was designed by Bonnie K Hunter and I remember scrambling to get this pattern.  I LOVE IT and my favorite color is red!  81 x 96  Quilted by  Sara Parrish and completed at a Transformation Quilters Retreat 7/11/20.  This was one of my Transformation Quilters UFO Challenge quilts.  It is amazing what a person will do for a star on a chart!

9  Unity Mystery Quilt 2020.  Bonnie K Hunter designed this quilt to keep us occupied during the Covid-19 flu pandemic isolation period.  74 x 82 $155.00 quilted by  Sara Parrish and completed at a Transformation Quilters Retreat.  I chose the colors because they were the colors of Mary Williams Elementary School in Prince William County, Virginia.  This is where Grandangel Leanna Epps got her first teaching job – 4th grade which she started as a virtual learning experience (pandemic social distancing) and ended as a traditional in classroom experience.  This was a gift for Leanna’s Master’s Degree Graduation and as a celebration of her first  teaching job.

While I was at Quilt Camp in Corolla, North Carolina, I finished the binding on two baby quilts – Joyful and Ellie the Elephant.

1     Joyful Quilt

     This quilt was designed by me and made with blocks and scraps donated by Karen DuMont.  It was quilted by Joyce Bailey.  This is a donation to the Teen Pregnancy Crisis Center, Richmond, VA.

7     Team Work Quilt (Wonky Diamond Pattern)     I designed this pattern and named it Team Work because a lot of the fabric was donated to me by quilting friends.   Sara Parrish did the quilting.  Bonnie K.  Hunter inspired the scrappy backs that I think are becoming my trademark!  This was donated to flood victim students in Wilmington, NC,  at the Blair School via the Friendship Quilt Group by Nancy Buckland.  Hurricane Florence – Quilts of Compassion.

10     Baby Goosey Quilt – I made this one originally for Atlas, my granddog,…..but since he ate a hole in one of my quilts, I am not sure that he will get this one!  I designed the quilt but Bonnie K Hunter designed the little wild and goosey blocks…13 pieces in each 3 1/2 inch square block.  This was quilted by Joyce Bailey – and the back is blue plush.

It is always so much fun to see how all of the pieces that we have been making since BLACK FRIDAY will come together to make a beautiful quilt.  Thank you Bonnie K Hunter for this beautiful design.  I love it.

Here is a glimpse of my progress.

On Ringo Lake Progress

Clue 5 in process

And here we go – all made – browns with neutral wings. On Ringo Lake will soon become a quilt!

Clue 5 On Ringo Lake

And my second one, Christmas on Ringo lake consists of Black with neutral wings for clue 5.

Clue 5 Christmas On Ringo Lake

There is a certain satisfaction and sense of amazement to look at to tubs of PIECES and know that they will soon somehow unit to make one of Bonnie K Hunter’s famous Quiltville Mystery Quilts.

All 5 clues for On Ringo Lake and Christmas On Ringo Lake – ready to go

While I was waiting for Clue  5 to be revealed, I made the back for the On Ringo Lake Quilt – it is 4 1/2 strips of browns and aqua/teals.  I love scrappy backs.

This week’s clue was fun and relatively easy –  and it’s only Monday and I am finished with Clue 4 for both of my Quiltville Mystery Quilts.  I used Bonnie’s new ruler, Essential Triangle Tool for this one and my “wings” came out perfect!

Here are photos of my progress:

And here is Clue 4 of On Ringo Lake Quilt finished!

Clue 4 On Ringo Lake

Christmas On Ringo Lake uses green instead of the aqua/teal color.

And here is my Christmas On Ringo Lake Clue 4 finished.  As you can see I used all shades of green here – this quilt is going to be scrappy happy.

For Clue 2  we had to make flying geese units.  There are many different ways to make flying geese and I had tried them all except the one that uses the Folded Corners Ruler.  I am now officially a fan.  The units come out great with very little waste.

On Ringo Lake Clue 2 – Here are a few of my flying geese for CHRISTMAS ON RINGO LAKE (red and neutral) and ON RINGO LAKE (orange and neutral)

Everything is cut out except all of the neutral squares!

Quilts Finished in 2017

#1     Mountain  Majesty Quilt  was made for my brother and his wife’s  (Dan and Glenda Albertson) dog, Lilo.  It is a Bonnie K Hunter Design and was quilted by Sara Parrish.  This was a pattern not for the faint of heart or for those with poor spatial skills (me.)  It took two grandangels, myself, and my son-in-law to get this quilt laid out properly!

#2     The Diver Dra Quilt was made from my brother, Dan Albertson’s, diving 5-shirts.  I designed the quilt  and Sara Parrish did the quilting.  It was a labor of love for sure!

K9 For Warriors

This K9 for Warriors project is a passion of mine.  Each month, 12 vets are given a service dog and spend 3 weeks in Florida training with them.  Many of the vets are able to give up meds for PTSD after having the support of these service dogs (who are all rescues, I might add.)  Ginger Whiting organizes the quilt for the dogs projects.  I sew the bindings on.  (This year I made 10.)
