Posted By drsao on June 19, 2016
In 2007 I finished 17 quilts. In 2008 I finished 19 quilts. In 2009 I must have been completely crazy – it appears I made 34 quilts in 2009. So, did I slow down in 2010 – well, maybe a little bit – I made 27! Here we go with the photos!
#1 FLOWERS OF HOPE (48″ x 62″) was made and quilted by me for the victims of the tsunami in Japan. As it turned out, I didn’t have confidence in my ability to quilt so I was embarrassed to give it away – so I picked another quilt to donate. I kept this one. Flowers of Hope is now a baby quilt for Puppy Atlas – born Dec. 15, 2017!
#2 MAIN STREET HOUSES (81″ x 96″) was a block swap with four friends. My daughter, Jan Stark, has this quilt and it lives in Corona Del Mar, CA.
#3 STAR STRUCK (65 1/2″ x 65 1/2″) is a Bonnie K. Hunter Design that I started in a class with Bonnie in Williamsburg, VA with the CPQG. It was a wedding gift to my nephew, Dustin, and Amy Albertson (and given that Dustin is in the Coast Guard, this quilt has had multiple homes!)
#4 RAISING CANE (50″ x 51″) is a Dorothy Young design for A Pocket Full of Mysteries that I donated to the babies in ICU.

#9 BABY GIRL RIBBON WEAVE is a quilt (48″ x 61″) that I donated to the babies in ICU.
#10 CAROLINA CHRISTMAS STARS (61″ x 77″) is a Bonnie Hunter design but I put one of the blocks together to makes this quilt and the OTHER block I made into another quilt that I called Carolina Christmas Poinsettia! This was quilted by A NEEDLE RUNS THROUGH IT. It has found a home (with the matching pillow) with Grandangel Leanna Epps, Christmas 2016.
