Designer quilts
I have been making quilts for family and friends near and far for many years. Now they are available to you too!
Winter 2025 NEWS!
I'm now offering luxurious custom quilts
$299 baby quilt (100% cotton)
$599 twin size quilt
$699 queen size
Original HBGB designs include: Wizard of Oz, Rainbow Quilts, Crazy Alice, Seattle Quilts, Black and White Quilts, "Adorable Sloth," Frankenstein, Respect, and Alice in Wonderland.
Each quilt comes with a letter explaining its materials, where the fabrics were found, and the story behind the imagery.
For photos of all these gorgeous creations, see the HGBG Etsy site!
Each of the blankets is unique, of course.
They are works of textile art in vibrant colors, images, and
imaginative symbols. Backs are in cotton, flannel or velour.
THE RESPECT QUILT PROJECT
Inspired by the #Black Lives Matter movement, since September 2020
I’ve been pouring some of my energies into making "Respect” quilts. Recipients include:
Author-quilt genius Faith Ringgold, poet Nikki Giovanni, art historian Samantha Noël, Haitian historian Marlene Daut, essayist Kenneth A.
McClane, Jr., and the original inspiration for the project, Anyjah Perkins (former student, now a 5th grade teacher in South Bend, IN).
Respect quilts nos. 10 and 11 went to doctors, Michele Harper, M.D.,
author of The Beauty in Breaking, and Naima Joseph, M.D., former
student and now a distinguished OB-GYN in Boston. No. 12 was sold to
Patrick Carter via the Boys and Girls Club of King County, WA, during the October 2021 fundraiser. No. 14 went out as a tribute to novelist
Tayari Jones (author of the wonderful An American Marriage).
"Respect" quilt no. 13, "Love and Memory" (right) is now available!
I presented No. 15 to Seattle cellist Gretchen Yanover during the West Seattle Art Hop (9/17/22), and No. 16 went out to the St Joseph County Boys
and Girls Club in South Bend, IN, for a future fundraiser. Respect Quilt no. 17 went out to my old pal and phenomenal woman, Dr. Peaches Henry.
Now RESPECT is available to you too!

The "Frankenstein" quilt (above) tell tales of a creepy transformation, and the eternal chase that ensues... between the creature and his maker.
I'm excited to produce "Ladder to the Moon" no. 2, which I'll offer for sale soon. (I love the first one so much that I'm keeping it!)
My SPARK classmates and me (fourth from left), with the quilt I made to commemorate our aspirations in 2017. We are gathered for an amazing dinner at my home on historic Riverside Drive in South Bend, Indiana--inspiration for A Spooky Tale of Spring, or How the Grumpy Mom Got her Cheer Back.
