SAO Quilts and other Projects Finished in 2016
Posted By drsao on October 15, 2017
I am hoping to finish some of my UFOs from prior years – that is my 2016 resolution. To help in the process I have relegated some of my UFO’s into another category entitled “ABANDONED UNTIL LATER.” This actually means “PERHAPS ABANDONED FOREVER BECAUSE I HAVE LOST INTEREST!” In the past I have put these abandoned parts into other quilts or onto the backs of other quilts – I like to recycle! So here goes my list of things that I actually completed in 2016.
#1 STRIPPY HIDDEN STARS While I was spending some time in the Courtyard Inn in Langhorne, Pennsylvania I finished my first quilt of 2016. It is Strippy Hidden Stars and I made up the pattern – although I have seen many such variations using strings made into half square triangles….so I don’t claim this as a unique design. The back is made from 2 1/2″ strips – all scrappy because that is what I like! The quilt measures 60 x 84. I sent this to my cousin, Rudy Riley, on January 27, 2016, in honor and memory of his wife, Julia, who just died of cervical cancer. He is going to donate it to the George Ray Cancer Center in Kirksville, MO.

#2 ALBERTSON LOVE is made from my parents’ clothing and is a Bonnie K. Hunter design – “Basket Weave.” It is a small lap quilt (55 x 62) and was quilted by Sara Parrish, in Midlothian, VA. Amy Albertson claimed this for Dustin Albertson’s memory quilt and it will be living in Goose Creek, SC (as long as the Coast Guard has them there.)

#3 Talking Turkey is my first red and white quilt – I love this combination and hope to make more red and white quilts! This is designed by Bonnie K. Hunter and I actually took a class with her for “Talking Turkey” when Bonnie was in Virginia.

#6 Albertson Ping Pong Balls was made for my son, Rob Johnson, from the clothing of my parents, J. B. and Marjorie Albertson. This pattern was inspired by Bonnie K. Hunter’s Cheddar Bowtie Challenge and was quilted by Sara Parrish. Ping Pong is a family game – a tradition whenever we gather together! My daddy was a ping pong champion in the Navy.

#8 Albertson Tumblers is a memory quilt that I made with my parents’, JB and Marjorie Albertson, clothing. I put camel minkee backing on it. It is 54 1/2 x 70 1/2 and was quilted by Sara Parrish. It includes 1400 2 1/2 ” tumbler blocks and was inspired by the Bonnie K. Hunter 2015 Tumbler Challenge. I let my Grandangel Chris use it on her bed until her pet rat, Achilles, ate MULTIPLE HOLES in it. I repaired it with yo yo’s and put on a new binding (which was almost totally chewed off!) It is now on MY BED! 🙂

#10 Leanna’s King Size Pillow Sham is also made from the Lozenges pattern. It measures 20 x 36. While this isn’t a quilt I am including it with my memory creations. Leanna used it in her University of Mary Washington dorm apartment on her trunk as extra seating.

#13 Allietare 2015 Quiltville Mystery Quilt was designed by Bonnie K. Hunter and quilted by Sara Parrish. It measures 83 x 96 and I love this quilt! It is my first quilt with a scalloped edge. I may never make another one but I am glad that I made this one!
#14 Giraffe’s Log Cabin is a 35 1/2 x 46 1/2 baby quilt with a flannel giraffe back. It was made as a donation for the Pregnancy Crisis Center via The Swift Creek Church. It was quilted by Sara Parrish.

Not a quilt – but a quilted project was a cute little black cloth box that I made with my Swift Creek Quilter’s Group.
