Parrot Tulip - Photo of a parrot tulip in my garden, manipulated on Photoshop and printed onto cotton. Machine quilted. This will be going to the Little Gems project for a tombola at the Festival of Quilts in August

"Wild Ride" - This quilt was designed in Corel Draw and the fabric printed on my home printer. I used Ricky Tims basic Rhapsody design technique and gave it a Betty spin. I designed piecable areas within the design. One quarter of the design was then painted in Corel Photo Paint. Media line effects were added to the line drawing and the two combined. Four quarters printed and then quilted.

"Sedona Starburst" - This quilt and the on below will be auctioned March 13 14 at Friendship Knot Quilters Guild Show. It Was designed in Corel Draw starting with Ricky's Rhapsody design techniques. I then put a Betty Spin on it. I added piecing and then painted and printed it in my home printer

Blue Seashells - I was looking for something to hang on the wall that had a beach theme. The colors and the theme fit in with the decor.

Barb's Double Vision - I loved this pattern. I made both the dark version and the pastel version. I gave the lighter one as a gift.

Colored Bubbles - I took the templates I had and made up random circles that (to me) blended together.

Father Christmas - Father Christmas is an ink painted original design and now a class. Students use inverted rubber stamps and wood snowflakes for rubbings and use teacher drawings to embellish their Father Christmas coat with things that best represent who they uniquely are.

Mama - Can you sense the mood of this mother? Natures non human creatures are soooo revealing. This mother looks tired, she looks loving, and she looks like if you mess with her offspring,her energy will surge, and she'll rise up to protect her child. Well, thats what we human moms would do too, so the name Mama seemed to me to fit!

Ashten - The machine embroideried blocks are cross-stitched designs with over 510,000 stitches. The quilting is all free motion - my first attempt at free motion - and with feathers no less!

Painted Fantasia - This was created from Ricky's Fantasia block. Instead of applique, I created a stencil from the Fantasia pattern and then used Shiva Paintstiks to paint the design on the background. Then I used both blanket and triple stitch outlines to make it look like applique. The wonky borders were free cut (no pattern) thanks to more of Ricky's influence.

Serendipity - This technique was learned in Sue Benner's "Flower" class at Empty Spools Seminar. This arrangement and design are are my own made for a challenge for Mt. Tam Quilt Guild.

Carlsbad Beach 1 - This is my second "quilt". I am not sure if this qualifies as a quilt... It measures in at the diminuative dimension of 6" x 6", fit to cover a mouse couple if neither are in the habit of hogging the quilt... It is thread painted - machine thread painted... I did use stabilizer as some of you suggested and I started out with a hoop. The stabilizer bunched up in places and the hoop wouldn't allow me to get to the edges, so I ditched that too... BUT I plan to do more of these and will try both of these again. This process is surprisingly addicting... This was inspired by the amazing quilters at the National Artisans for Bernina retreat. Here are my questions: 1. Do I need to change the bobbin tension for this? 2. How do you attach the stabilizer? Or can I just do this on really really stiff fabric? 3. My machine is squeaking now... I will look up where to squirt it, but is it just the hard use I inflicted on it in the last coupla days? Thank you so Much!

Christmas Surprises - I made two of this design...one for each of my daughters for Christmas. They were totally surprised. I think I finally finished them the day before they were due home. I made a patch for the back that included the date, their name and "Love, Mom". I added many embellishments...put their names on some of the shoppes and each of their names on a shoppe on her sister's quilt. As my grandfather was a baker, I put my mother's maiden name on the bakery. I hope they will treasure them for many years, and feel the love for them each time they look at it.
