A Taste of Honey - I made this bear Quilt for my sister's classroom, 2006

Oh Christmas Tree - This quilt is my original design and was recently published in Quilt It For Christmas 2008 using different fabrics from the same collection--Moda's Peace on Earth.

Sweet Dreams James - I saw this in the Fons & Porter magazine and discovered a month later that my first grandchild was on the way. The Bessie Pease Gutmann pictures caught my eye and I was thrilled to see that one of them was the picture that hung in our daughter's room when she was young. I started buying fabric and planning the quilt before I discovered that I had twin grandsons on the way, so back to the store where some frantic searching took place since some of the original fabric was no longer there and I had no time to look elsewhere! There are several subtle differences between the two quilts (e.g. James’ quilt has blocks with blue background in the border, while John’s quilt has blocks with beige background in the border). The quilt was completed in May 2006. "James” is machine embroidered across the bottom, on a sashing strip.

Sweet Dreams John - I saw this in the Fons & Porter magazine and discovered a month later that my first grandchild was on the way.

Starry Patches John - John loves the different textures in this minkee and chenille quilt. I planned on making one quilt before realizing twins were on the way, so I made two with different color fabrics. The quilt was completed in October 2006.

Starry Patches James - Like John, James loves to feel the different textures in this minkee and chenille quilt. I planned on making one quilt before realizing twins were on the way, so I made two with different color fabrics. The quilt was completed in October 2006.

Amsterdam Memories - This wall hanging was an entry in the Black and White "family values" challenge of the Clamshell Quilt Guild, and came in second place.

Cousins - This wall hanging was made from fabric purchased by me in the Netherlands, or sent to me by my relative Margreeth. The sashing is from Budapest.

Mystery Curves - The blocks came from a Mark Lipinski Mystery Quilt workshop at Clamshell Quilt Guild. I added more blocks and arranged them "my way."

Tree of Life 1 - Made at a Nancy Johnson Srebro workshop at Clamshell Quilt Guild.

Mixed Up But Not Crazy - I call this my $1700 quilt. My dog swallowed a needle that I dropped while finishing the binding. Vet bills totalled $1700. Tanner (my dog) is just fine.

Purple - My first real quilt - lots of mistakes. Lots.

New beginnings - Inspired by a workshop by Diane Hires, I let my imagination go wild.

Magnolias for Marjorie - This is the 2nd quilt I ever made. I took a class from the designer at the quilt store in Houston where I learned to quilt. It hangs in my bedroom.

Tamara Leaves Me - My guild had an art quilt show at the local art and cultural center. The theme was Quilt and Other Art Forms. The quilts were inspired by other forms of art be it paintings, poetry, sculpture or whatever. My sister is a professional artist. I did this from one of her water colours. It was chosen as the entry displayed on the mailer announcements.

Jewels on Black - This is the 2nd class I ever took. I think the name of the block is Trip Around the World. I loved the colours. I learned a lot from making this.

Wenda's Quilt - I made this to take to a friend in the Netherlands. It was the 1st time I did free motion quilting.
