Hello
Friends!
Quilts Made By a Dream Team
Now
that the air has turned chilly I hope those of you who have a custom,
handmade Memory Quilt are curling up into the quilt with not one, but
many, memories that you hold dear. This past month has been
incredibly busy for me. I am working on over 20 holiday quilts for
some very lucky people! I can imagine their surprise and wonderment
as they open their quilt filled with special memories on Christmas
morning!
If you are interested in a Memory Quilt for you or a loved one please
contact me ASAP so that I can add you to the list! My holiday
schedule is almost completely booked. But please remember that there
are many holidays through out the year for gift giving. Below
is my Quilt of the Month and some other great quilts that I have made
this past month. Each quilt was designed and made with input from me,
the client, and sometimes the recipient-a true team approach!
Stay warm,

A Specialty Quilt Made With 75
Neck Ties
That's
right, this 87" by 87" custom, specialty quilt contains
75 ties that were creatively designed into the popular Dresden
plate quilting pattern. There are 25 Dresden plates and each
contains 6 ties and the center is made from a very special silk
"smoking jacket."
My client sent the picture, shown to the right, of the finished
quilt hanging in her beautiful home!
The quilt contains 2 borders. The first border was made from the
leftover pieces of ties. Every piece of tie was used by the
end of this project! The quilt was then "framed" with a
gorgeous black fabric. The Baptist fan quilting pattern was long
arm quilted into this 7" border. It frames the quilt
beautifully.
A white tone on tone paisley fabric was used for the body of the
quilt. A beautiful meander stitch was long armed onto this portion
of the quilt.
When I first was given the box of 75 ties, I didn't know what I was
going to do with all of them. A year later, this work
of art is complete!
Anyone interested in a tie quilt should contact me for a quote.
They are a custom specialty quilt that take an enormous amount of
time.

A Little Help From Me.....
My client
contacted me to help her finish this quilt. She had printed out
over 15 pictures of her dad onto fabric but she didn't know what to
do next. Between the two of us we came up with this design that
honors her dad and the service he provided to our country.
This
traditional style, large lap quilt was made in honor of Lt. Colonel
James A. Green. On it are pictures from his Air Force days,
of him later in life, a caricature of him, a picture of the plane
he flew and his wings-all surrounded by his shirts, fatigues and
uniforms.
I feel like I know Lt. Colonel James A. Green just a little bit
now. That is the joy of these quilts. They really do tell a
story, and this story is beautiful!
If you
have begun a Memory Quilt and can't seem to finish it, call me and
together we can make your quilt become a reality!

A Little Help From You......
Currently
my Memory
Quilts by Molly page has 29o fans, and for this I
am very grateful. But, it sure would be nice to break
300! I only need 10 more fans to do this.
If you haven't been to my Facebook page I encourage you to do so! You
won't learn about anything too deep like the origins of the universe,
but you will be entertained by the many wonderful stories of memories
made into cherished quilts and the creative pictures that I post like
quilts hanging in trees, and even quilts with witches and
Frankenstein!
You never know when your quilt will be showcased or become the
witch's cape!

Go Team!
I love making sorority quilts! This is the fourth one that I have
made. It was made for a Rochester Institute of Technology
graduate who is an Alpha Xi Delta sister with tons of sorority
shirts!
She is a Graphics Designer by trade and she created a digital
picture of her quilt exactly how she had envisioned it!
One problem though: she didn't know how to make the actual quilt!
Her Memory Quilt was just a picture on her computer.
Enter Memory
Quilts by Molly! I took her exact design
and made her traditional style, twin size quilt with block sashing
a reality!
I just love the glow in the dark jack-o-lantern face t-shirt!
Her design was perfect. I didn't change a thing. Together we
created a Memory Quilt that she now has on her bed which she can
wrap herself in instead of just looking at it on her computer
screen!
Wrap Yourself
In Your Memories!

Only one
t-shirt was used to make this quilt. It is the black one in the
middle with the initials.The other blocks consist of flannel pants,
cotton shirts, and even a bathing suit!
Beautiful chocolate brown and bright blue sashing was
selected. Topped off with a super soft camel colored backing.

This
pillow was made in honor of Christian Chatman, a man who left us
far too soon. Included in this pillow are his jeans, and in the
pocket is his high school graduation tassel. Also included is
a beautiful photo of him.
May this pillow and the quilt that I made for his mother bring both
comfort and sweet memories of Christian.
