Split Rock Lighthouse - This was made as a challenge to re-create an image from a grey-scale photo. After piecing and machine embellishing I added hand embroidery for the greenery. This one called to me for a frame so I framed it rather than finishing as a wall quilt.

Crazy Block of the Month - block 1 - The back ground is machine sewen. All the extras are done by hand, with lots of embellishments. The sashing, border, binding was also add on by machine.

Flower Garden - I had two jelly rolls of fabric and was itching to sew something. I liked the quilt pattern "Flower Garden " in the book "Strippin Along" by Donna Kinsey and Linda Rocamontes and adapted my pattern from there, adding black sashing between the rows. "LOVE" how it turned out and not having to match all the seams every two inches made the piecing go a lot faster. I have the quilt spray basted with a black batting and a pretty green paisley back. It is ready for machine quilting so wish me luck.....

Crazy Block of the Month - block 2 - This block is 2nd of 3 blocks in one wall quilt. The blocks look better showen individual then as a group.

Crazy Quilt Block of the Month - block 3 - The 3rd block of the wall hanging. Quilt started in 2001 - finished in 2008. Still have 6 blocks to make into wall hangings, and 3 more to complete.

Shiner Heritage Quilt Guild Donation Quilt 2009 - Members of the quilt committee: Gwen Easterly, chairperson, Bernadette Kresta, Betty Kloesel, Charlene Oehl, Diane Lott, Carol Pratka and Wanda Myers. Gwen and Wanda made most of the blocks, Carol, Wanda and Gwen determined quilt lay out, Bernadette pieced the blocks together.

Tommy's Cool Quilt - These half circle templates made it fun to sew. Would you believe no pins. :)

Laura's quilt - I changed it from a wall hanging to a Lap quilt. Just had to add the extra borders.

Charlottes doll quilt - Downloaded a picture of her favorite cartoon and painted it on fabric.

No Name - this started from a class with Linda Ballard in April, 2008. I completed it and had it quilted in 2009. I hope to show it at the CQC Capitol Quilt Show this summer.

not sure yet Yoga - I am making this for my daughter in law. She is a Yoga teacher. I got the idea from episode 309 using the positive and negative images. I am going to use black in the sashing and for the border.

Caribbean Memories - We took our niece and her best friend on a Caribbean Cruise in honor of their college graduation. I made this quilt from beautiful batiks in caribbean colors and themes for my niece Megan.

Caribbean Memories 2 - This is the 2nd turning Twenty I made for our guest on the Caribbean Cruise Alyson D. We had loads of fun and I hope the girls will remember it always.

Donation quilt for Australian Bushfire Relief - This was a quick quilt made from charm squares and matching fabric, the first of quilts donated to the Australian Bushfire Relief fund, following the devasting fires, Feb 2009

Joy - This is an adaptation of Karen K. Stone's quilt pattern, Dilerious, in her book, Karen K. Stone Quilts. There are 114 different fabrics in this quilt and each block is different. This quilt was constructed by a quilt as you go method. It won first in applique quilts at AQS Paducah in 2008 and Honorable Mention in Innovation Large Applique at 2008 Houston Quilt Show. It appeared on the 2009 AQS Wall Calendar and will appear on the 2010 IQA Wall Calendar. It was on the cover of the November 2008 QNMagazine. It has been such a joy to me......no pun intended.

Persia - I made Persia for the 2009 New Quilts From an Old Favorite Contest sponsored by the National Quilt Museum. This year's block pattern was Burgoyne Surrounded. I redrafted the block so that it would be skewed, pieced it, cut it out to the desired shapes, machine appliqued it and added the original center applique. The quilting on the background is all original paisley patterns that are made with machine decorative stitches. The paisley motifs are filled in with a grid pattern. A pebble pattern is the background for the paisley motifs. Quilting on the flower motif is free motion pebbles, "head bands" and straight lines.The quilting took a very long time to complete. The colors of this quilt are rather unconventional, but I think they make a statement.

Mystery Quilt 2006 - This was a mystery quilt project we did at our quilt quild. Each month we were given a different clue to which kind of block to make. It was great fun. This is also the first time I freehanded a design with my longarm.

Brandon's I Spy Quilt - I made quilts for Christmas for all of my seven grandchildren in 2008. This was for my grandson, Brandon. I purchased templates for this quilt back in 2000, and collected children's print fabrics for years. The templates come with a five inch hexagon and a four hexagon. This is the five inch version. The "I Spy Nap Quilt" is also published in the "P.S. I Love You Two!" book by Nancy J. Smith & Lynda S. Milligan.
