Aloha Maui - Detail of a larger quilt. Fussy cut petals and gecko applique, thread painting.

Bugs alive - My granddaughter was three years old when I made this for her, and she loves bugs, so what else would I make it from.

Purple Splender - I made this quilt as a wedding present for the daughter of a very good friend.

Orange Delight - I didn't know that Y seams were dreaded when I started this quilt. This is a quilt I made for my son's 33rd Birthday and arrived just after an operation to remove his appendix

Random butterflies - This is my daughters birthday quilt. My first large quilt. Huge task. Took about four months to complete the top. I had to hide it everytime she came to visit.

Tropical Blue - My daughter wanted to use the blue hawaiin print in a quilt, so then I had to work out a way to incorporate it. The small squares are just 4". No pattern used, just kept trimming until they all fitted.

Baby Delight - Something nice I made for the grandchildren to cuddle when visiting.

Not so Shabby Tulips - Made for my friend for her birthday as a centre piece for the dining table.

Dream Houses - Got a very nice book from friend -Patchwork Quilt from Keiko Goke and I used the idea and designed this quilt in my favorite colours as usual yellow.

Provence - My husband wanted a quilt for his Birthday. As we were in Provence on vacation I picked up a magazine and I found some pictures from fields and I thought this is it and I made this quilt for him.

Sew Warm - I used the courthouse steps from the magazine and then appliqued leaves around the edge instead of sunflowers. The quilt is all flannel.

Prairie Twister - I had seen a picture of this quilt and drew it up in EQ5 and made it to hang in my husbands office (he works for a seed association) and "Canadianized" it's name with "Prairie Twister"! I didn't enjoy working in "black" but it really does make the colours stand out in this quilt.

Square Lollies - From a fabric group called Chocolate Lollipops hence the name "Square Lollies" , just played around with the fabric till I found a block I liked.

Kona Mountains - Quilt was made while taking a class from my friend and marvelous Australian quilter Faye Cunningham. Faye has a very interesting technique for making Delectable Mountains that makes it one of the quickest quilts I've ever done. The fabric for the Quilt is all Kona Bay Sateens and is really lustrous and beautiful in person.

Tea Time and Roses at my Cabin - This quilt was made for a challenge in my small quilting group, the Tea Time Quilters. It was a semi-finalist at Paducah in 2005 in the First Time Entrys catagory.

Tennessee Waltz - Our mini guild held a weekend retreat at one of the gal's condo in Branson, MO. We each worked on our individual quilts and had a ball.
