Tore's Journey after Rene Magrite - After finding a photo of my grandfather in a "bowler" hat, I decided to make this quilt in the style of the artist Rene Magrite. My grandfather floats down over the surface of the Swedish flag into the United States. The crowns (tre kroner) represent Sweden, Norway, and Denmark or the three countries that came together in a peace pact. The yellow cross of the Swedish flag becomes the path for Tore, my grandfather.

Prairie Song - This was a challenge quilt for Prairie Quilter's guild, "Little Quilt on the Prairie." The buffalo, meadow lark, ear of corn, and the large sunflower petals were painted. The center of the sunflower was pieced using the 9 degree circle ruler. There is one 5" square buffalo that was paper pieced from a Home and Garden pattern.
