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!

Donation Quilt


Each year I make a quilt for the silent auction at a national nursing convention.  I am a member of the foundation board and this silent auction benefits the foundation.  I made this quilt in a queen size for a friend- it's at the quilter.  With the fabric I had left over- and some more I purchased- I was able to put together this throw size.  Those who like lime green and tourquoise will like this quilt.  I quilted it on my home machine.  It's 72" square- a size that's pretty easy to handle on a domestic machine.  I tried to use different designs in different places.  Since there are long lines it was easier to do. 
I actually make a quilt and an afghan- so now it's time to get to the knitting since the convention is in 2 weeks!
