Fisherboys - Blocks were made from purchased cross stitched squares.

flannel pjs - I purchased this quilt at a garage sale in Munster, IN. I was drawn to it because it looked like one of those old wool crazy quilts. It looked like it might have a flag on the top & purchased it quickly because it drew a crowd when the lady said "it's old - maybe 100 years because it was our Grandma's." When I got it home to check it out, I saw that the pieces of many different types of fabric - were stitched together with feather stitches & the quilt had red & white striped fabric on both the top & bottom, the front & the back. Lo & behold, it looks like red striped pajamas folded over the top & bottom edges of the quilt. Certainly a conversation piece. Although it was/is old, there was no musty odor whatsoever. I consider it a good deal for the $5 I paid for it. When I stopped back at the same house at a sale a couple years later, the lady told me she remembered seeing that I had it displayed with the antique quilts at my guild's quilt show the year before, but she was simply not interested in giving my any information about the quilt. Too bad.

Eva's quilt - I made this quilt for my mother-in-law, who is one of the best quilters I know. I am new to quilting, inspired by the beautiful and loving handwork of my mother-in-law. Eva is in her 90's now and can no longer quilt. I hope to continue her legacy.

Mr. B's Colors - I purchased a packet of squares of one each of all the Benartex Fossil Fern colors. I made black/colored triangles using the back to back method - so this quilt has 300 squares of all 150 colors of the Fossil Fern colors available at that time. I sat on the floor with a color wheel to arrange the little blocks & am very happy with the results.

American Quilt - Each month we were given a diagram & fabric for a block. We had to figure out how to put each block together. I finished piecing the top on July 4, flung it over the front porch railing & emailed the picture to my friends for an Independence Day greeting.

Angels For Betty - Six beautiful angels, each quilted in a different motif, and named for a Fruit of the Spirit.. Angel's hairstyle is thread painted. Silver stars twinkle throughout, with machine beading on the sunflower border accenting the sunflower centers. In memory of Betty

Stained Glass Cross - Made from fabrics I hand dyed in a Hand dye workshop. I just stacked and slashed and rearranged the piles for the Cross. Used the Press on bias tape for the leading portion.

Memories of Madelon - This is a memorial quilt for my mom who passed away in 2002. She loved her garden, flowers of all kinds and puzzles and games.

Sun Dance - Phil Beaver taught me a method of painting my own fabrics to create the colors, blends, and variations needed for natural settings, using Setacolor paints on cotton. Raw-edge applique is the construction technique.

Bears in the Woods - This was my first big quilt and I took it to my first retreat in Klamath Falls, Oregon. What a lot of fun that was...wonderful people.

Dream Catcher - Everyone needs atleast one wild and crazy quilt and this is mine.. All Moda flannel.

Nifety Nine Patch - This was a retreat quilt in Oregon and I love all the browns,,love earth tones and love the blocks. This is one of my favorite quilts.

Flying Geese - I thought I would never get enough geese made for this quilt...but patience does win in the end. Love the fabric and the border...what a fun quilt.

Through the Eyes of Eternal Youth - A fiber art collage based on a quotation from the book, "West with the Night" by Beryl Markham ... "at that age, few things can provoke more wonderment than a mirror."

Woman and Elements Revolve - With one limb in each of the 4 elements ... earth, air, water, and fire ... Woman both controls and is controlled by them.

Coffee with Friends - The Halton Hills Quilters' Guild BOM theme was coffee and tea so I used a few of those blocks, added a couple of others adapted from Nancy Johnson-Srebro's Block Magic and Block Magic, too! books and created a large coffee mug wallhanging.

Jacque Cousteau's Little Secret - Based on Ricky Tim's Convergence quilts, I created this quilt, and then had fun playing with fish applique, bead embellishments and "script" quilting in the black border which tells the story of mermaids.
