I am a plastic surgeon in Little Rock, AR. I used to "suture for a living", I continue "to live to sew". These days most of my sewing is piecing quilts. I love the patterns and interplay of the fabric color. I would like to explore writing about medical/surgical topics as well as sewing/quilting topics. I will do my best to make sure both are represented accurately as I share with both colleagues and the general public.
I still working (off/on) to improve my free motion machine quilting. I have trouble keeping the stitch length even. This small lap quilt was made using small practice pieces. Finished size approx 32 in x 48 in. I gifted it to a friend in December who was going through chemotherapy for multiple myeloma. He died earlier this year from complications.
I made this quilt for my nephew Dallas and his wife Gwen's first born son Gabril (born in March 2024). The quilt was finished in early December 2023. It measures 38 in x 48.5 in. It is machine pieced and quilted. The back is pieced also. Book is One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish.
I have been derelict in updating my blog as I finished projects. I will try to correct this starting with this post and the others spread out over the next few weeks. This quilt was actually finished back in November. I gave it away to be used as a baby quilt. It measures 31.5 in X 34 in.
