Especially made for our son, Jeremy, who made Eagle Scout this September. I had saved for the last 11 years, his neckerchiefs from his Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts with the intent of making a quilt for him when he made Eagle Scout. As I started thinking and designing this quilt, it evolved several times and ultimately to what is here now. A combination of neckerchiefs and pieced embroidered words from the Scout Law along with a center square of an embroidered Eagle over top of the Eagle neckerchief. The embroidered words were done on his father's old Bellsouth shirts that he could not wear after they were changed to AT&T. This quilt was made entirely when Jeremy was not home, and put away upon his returning with not a trace of fabric or thread anywhere. To my knowledge, he knew nothing of it. This quilt has special meaning and represents over 11 years of his and our commitment to Scouts. We are very proud of him for sticking it out and finally making the rank of Eagle Scout, Boy Scouts of America's highest award. It was quilted by Leon Hopkins in a swirl and star pattern. It got 2nd place at the Coastal Carolina Fair, 2008. ORIGINAL QUILT DESIGN BY MARCY KANAPAUX; FOR USE BY PERMISSION ONLY.
A pretty diagonal pattern afghan done in varigated blues, dark blue and cream for my Parents Motor home. Quite a large afghan and rather heavy, too. Momma wanted me to put this in the fair this year. And surprise of surprises, it got a 1st place and a 2nd place Best of Show at the Coastal Carolina Fair, 2008.
This is another jelly roll quilt from the book "Strip Happy" that our Loose Threads quilt club did this year. It is the jelly roll Canoe Country fabric and only takes one to make this adorable lap quilt. I quilted this one doing a free motion wavy line that is super simple and quick. This one got 1st place at the Coastal Carolina Fair, 2008.
This was a sampler quilt done in our Loose Threads quilt club from the Book "Strip Happy"; done with the Chelsea Botique line of jelly roll. It took 2 jelly rolls to complete and definitely is a weekend pieced quilt top. Fun, Fun. It was quilted by Leon Hopkins with a vine pattern. It got 2nd place at the Coastal Carolina Fair, 2008.
A t-shirt quilt made from my son, Jeremy's, t-shirts from various years and most represent t-shirts given to him by my parents, sister, and us. This was a class taught by Ed O'Leary at People, Places & Quilts in Summerville, SC. What a super fun and quick quilt. It was quilted by Leon Hopkins with a basic swirl pattern. It won 1st place at the Coastal Carolina Fair, 2008.
Baby flannel blanket made for Lana's cousin, Angela. Simple 6 fat quarters for the front and one piece of floral flannel for back. Very basic quilting to hold it together and sewn as pillow case type closing.
