Welcome to D T Quilts!

This blog will chronicle my quilting experiences. I have been sewing since my grandmother taught me to as a child. I loved it even then. I began quilting in 2004 to make a quilt of my daughter's school uniforms. Check out the Lauren's Sacred Heart Quilt page. I fell in love with quilting and have not stopped since. I belong to several great quilt guilds. Happy Quilting!

Stash Report- June 27, 2010

Yeah!  Got some sewing in this week.  My quilts are home  from the quilt show and I decided to make pillowcases to store the quilts.  Thus my use of fabric this week.  Making pillowcases is so easy!  Finishing up some machine quilting this weekend, then I hope to get started on my other quilting projects!  The first project I hope to tackle is finishing up a New York Beauty quilt from a Judy Holly class.  But not for long.  Friday I'm off to NYC and Martha's Vinyard for 10 days.

Design Wall Monday- June 21,2010


Nothing on the design wall.  No quilting in progress as I was working this week/end at the Gulf States Quilting Association quilt show.  However, I am thrilled.  I entered 3 quilts into the show and won an Honorable Mention for my quilt titled "Lauren's School Days at Sacred Heart".  You can view this quilt here:  Lauren's School Days at Sacred Heart

Design Wall Monday- June 14, 2010

I am making a quilt for a friend for a baby boy.  I liked the Puppy Tales line at my local quilt store.  Should be able to finish this one this week.  I like this pattern with the large center focus fabric because it comes together quickly.  And if you have a real cute focus fabric, it works!

Stash Report- June 13, 2010

Busy this week working for our upcoming quilt show- receiving quilts and judging begins today.  However, I did find time to go to Mes Amis Quilt shop and buy fabric for a baby quilt a friend asked me to make.  I tried, but couldn't find anything in my stash that would work.  Fortunately, I used the fabric this week- so, in and out the same week! Net use for the year remains the same.  Jury duty this week.  Hope to get released early in the day so I can go home and get some quilting done!
