Miss American Beauty Rose - There are a number of patterns in this flower lady series, I really enjoyed making this "rose".

Tulips From the Past - I saw the finished quilt in a vendor booth at the Minnesota Quilt Show in 2008. I fell in love with the colors and the fact that it was all done in cozy flannel. I bought a kit so I can't take any credit for choosing the beautiful colors. I machine quilted this on my Gammill. I'm new at long arm quilting and I was pleased that it turned out as well as it did.

Angels - I needed to come up with a design for a Christmas challenge for our guild Christmas Party. I found these old angel patterns and made them out of boiled wool. I also had an old embroidery pattern for a tree. I made the ornaments from tiny pieces of wool. I cut off the corners and added Susan Cleveland's piping hot binding and then added a checkerboard strip on the top and bottom. I was really pleased with the way it turned out

A Mother's Helping Hands - This is the quilt I made for the helping hands challenge. It is made enitrely of the Mali challenge fabrics, except for the faces, the border and the small red belt on the mom.

Little Yellow Rose of Texas - Every baby needs a special quilt. And what a special baby Kiarra is!

Mint Medley - This quilt started out as a fun experiment with the One Fabric Quilts technique as a wall hanging or maybe a baby quilt and grew and grew.

Splish Splash Spirals - Along with others I participated in designing and making Spiral quilts under the instruction of RaNae Merrill via on-line blog. The quilt is 54" x 54" foundation pieced off centre pinwheel and nesting spirals blocks, machine pieced and maching quilted by me

Metamorphosis

Heliconia Flower - Inspired by a photo I took of heliconia flowers growing in our garden.

Mandala - I designed and made this quilt for the MAQS New Quilts From an Old Favorite contest. The theme was the Burgoyne Surrounded block. I was very excited to win 3rd place!

Red Eye Gravy - Red Eye Gravy is an original design using a traditional block the Alabama Pine Burr.

Crazy Cousins - Crazy Quilt constructed from old clothing, flour sacks and scraps. Embellished with bits of lace, trims and buttons.

Washingtons Tree - Washington Family Tree hand and machine applique. Hand painted muslin.

Buttons and Boughs - This was an Artista club project to teach us how to re-hoop. The buttons are from the Just Another Button Company, and are extremely adorable. The fabric for the border was in my stash, and matched perfectly.

Teapots - the teapots in this quilt were 30's and floral prints which I bought just for this quilt. I learned how to do the scallops on the shades at the AQS show in Paducah where I took a class with Betty Alderman. I really enjoyed making this quilt, and it hung in my kitchen in Wesmont, IL until we moved to Chandler, AZ. It didn't fit into a southwestern home, so it now sits rolled in a closet waiting for a wall to call home.

Cactus Flowers - When blooming the cacti flowers are beautiful. This little quilt is exactly what I needed for a niche in a downstairs bathroom. The middle cactus was freemotion without a BSR, and the rest I finished on my BSR. Lots of thread breaks later I finished the quilting.
