Shawnna's Quilts
A history in pictures of my hobby (obsession)

I began my first quilt around the time I met Eric, in 1992.  It sat uncompleted in a box which we hauled from house to house in our many moves over the next twenty-plus years.  The first quilt I actually completed was one I made for my sister in 2009.  She said she needed something to throw on the ground for picnics and the like.  I thought that sounded low-pressure enough for me to try making a quilt for this purpose.  I did complete it, with some major wrinkles on the backing.  I felt I succeeded though, since it was a perfect quilt for throwing on the ground!  

In August of 2015 I attended the Eureka Montana Quilt show by myself, so I really had the time to take it in slowly.  That experience affected me greatly.  Later that year, I dug the pieces of that first quilt out of the closet and decided to finish it.  Little did I know, this would spark an obsession that would see  me making a quilt a month by the end of the year.  

It has been so much fun to learn this art, and such a blessing to be able to give them to my loved ones as gifts.  I make so many that I now sell them to pay for my fabric fund! I feel it also honors my grandmother Wanda Morton, who was a very talented hand-quilter until her eyes wouldn't let her continue.  I loved to share my quilting journey with her.

1. Desirae's Sudoku Quilt

This was my first completed quilt, made for my sister Desirae in 2009.  This one 
did not light a fire for quilting in my heart.  I really struggled with the quilting part!  
 

 2. Native American Pyramid Quilt

This was my second completed quilt. A Native American design.
Cut out around 1992, completed in October 2015.
It was given as a wedding gift to my dear friend Ellie. 
This is when I caught the quilting bug.  
 
I also made a page for some of the squedge projects I made, which are star-shaped table toppers 
created with a ruler called a squedge.
