Here are photos of my finished quilts!

Quilts Completed in 2015

#1 Lazy Sunday is a quilt pattern designed by Bonnie K. Hunter and was featured in “Quiltmaker” magazine. Val, at A Needle Runs Through It did the quilting. I think I did more “UNSEWING” on this quilt than any other in my quilting career so far. For some reason I kept reading the instructions wrong! This quilt was gifted to my nephew Eric Albertson and his bride, Susan Albertson, as a wedding present.

#8 New Year’s Eve 2011 Mystery Quilt…..this was designed by Ann Smith and quilted by A Needle Runs Through it. The back is made from a Bonnie K. Hunter pattern – Boxy Stars. I hate to say this, but I really don’t like this quilt…..I think that I didn’t pick a good background for the pattern. Since I categorized this as an UGLY QUILT I decided that I couldn’t give it away….so I kept it and keep it on my Grandma Albertson’s Rocking Chair to keep the chair clean (what was I thinking to have it recovered in cream colored fabric when there are cats in the house! :))

The back of this quilt also contains fabric that belonged to my sister-in-law’s, Elaine Albertson, mother. This quilt was gifted to my brother, Fred Albertson.
