The church we attended for a couple of years before our move this past fall had a Ladies Aid group.  One of the things I enjoyed was making these 40" x 40" two layer (no batting or blanket in the center) lap robes for the ministry.  The Ladies Aid then donated all the laprobes to Hospital Chaplaincy Services.  These are just a sample of some of the quilts I did for this project.

Katie's Pink Ice Skates - 2007


I know this sweet little girl, who has several older brothers, but is none the less "all girl" in many ways.  Not to long ago - a year or two maybe - Miss K.T.  wanted PINK ice skates.  Do you realize how hard it is to find such a beast?

Ms. MaggieRaye did the only thing she could think of and made this sweet Miss K.T. a quilt of ice skates in as many different pink fabrics as I could find.

I received the most wonderful thank you note, telling me that she uses it to wrap up in after she's been out playing ice hockey with her older brothers.

Lady Lu's Little Luxury


This is a quilt I did in a weekend last April.  It was done for a family friend.  It fits a double bed and is NOT my favorite size to work with.

I wrote this up years ago, and thought I'd share it here.  I won't get it finished today, so check back again to read it in it's entirety.  Eventually each word will have a reason or description of how it influenced the making of my CommonFolk Quilts.

Blessings, MaggieRaye

Okay, Janet gave me a pix by pix tutorial to do this - and I'm still being my typical technologically challenged self.  I'm going to give it another shot.  If it works, you'll see baby, Lizbeth, as promised, if not . . . who knows.   Oh, look, it worked.  It really worked.  Thanks Janet.

Blessings, MaggieRaye
