About Mama Pea Quilts
Since I was a small child, I've always been busy creating things with my hands.
Beginning in my early twenties, knitting became my creative outlet. Then, around 1994, I took my first quilting class and immediately knew quilting was my true passion.
Quilting incorporates my love of fabric, sewing skill, and creative design ideas as well as fulfilling my desire to have an artistic medium which produces a useful, tangible product.
Quilts of all sizes - from tiny 3" x 3" Christmas tree ornaments to king-sized bed quilts - have been created in my quilting studio. But, without a doubt, my favorite items to make are baby quilts. The greatest compliment I could receive would be to see a three-year old dragging around a tattered but much-loved quilt of mine that had been given to him as a newborn.
Quilting energizes me! The only things that keep me from spending each day happily designing and creating in my secluded quilt room are my summertime garden, time spent with family, and the mundane necessities of life year-round. That's all rather simplistically stated, but you get the idea.

I'm back from my camping trip... wondering how you're going to put those strips of squares and trees together...I'm on the edge of my seat!
Hi, Beth - Darned good thing you had your camping trip over the weekend to occupy your time, otherwise it would have driven you crazy trying to figure out this new quilt of mine. (You are such a crazy lady!)
Hope you had a nice weekend and that the weather cooperated. The little peek you gave us of the scenery looked lovely.
I really like the trees, Mom! You'll have to incorporate that kind of pattern into something for me someday!
xo
Chicken Mama - Well, we'll have to see what we can do about that!
The tree block is fun to make. Takes time to do the cutting initially . . . many, many pieces . . . but it does go together fast when you get to the piecing.
i love those trees! how fun!
Amandajean - Thanks! And so much fun to pick out the fabrics for them. I did a Thimbleberries pattern a couple of years ago that used almost the exact same mirror image for the trees.
