Feather Bed of Roses? - Wedding quilt from Aunt Lois branch of the Abraham family.

Butterfly Stack N Whack - An Asian print fabric was used for the SnW blocks, solid black background fabric. It was long-arm quilted using an Asian Elegance design.

Blue and Yellow Blooming 9-Patch - I started buying the fabric for this quilt in 2003. The idea of making a king-size quilt delayed my making it until 2008. It's currently on my bed where I love sleeping under it. My wonderful long-arm quilter used the Plumage design to quilt it. Note: The picture was taken before the quilting was done.

Springtime Clyde - I used black fabric for the cat to represent our cat, Clyde. One of my first attempts at machine quilting, using my Bernina 153.

Summertime Bonnie - I used gray fabric to represent our cat, Bonnie. Early attempt to machine quilt on my Bernina 153.

Christmas 2008 - Made in an art quilt workshop using fabrics received at a Quilt Show taping!

Baby Quilt for Melanie's baby - Baby quilt made with pinwheels and minkee animal faces & paws.

Swallowtail with Purple Coneflower - This quilt was inspired by a photo I took in my garden. The butterfly and flowers were painted on PFD using Tsukineko inks, then fused to a hand dyed background. This technique was taught in a workshop by Patt Blair.

A Walk in the Fall - This quilt raised $2500 for the Chaffee County Mammography fund - - made in honor of 3 friends who are all breast cancer survivors. I used 25 different neutrals and 33 prints in this scrappy version. It was the first quilt I completed on my longarm, and I hated to part with it. Fortunately the raffle winner is nearby, so I guess I could always "visit"!

Family Welcome - wall quilt, various blocks adapted to represent members of my family.

Christmas Challenge - pieced far too long ago, basted but still needs quilting. Maybe this is the year I will finally get around to finishing the quilt.
