Krista's Kitchen - These are Hot Pads made for my niece as a housewarming gift. They measure 10 1/5" square and match the colors in her new kitchen. She has Cherry wood cabinets and black marble & travertine tile backsplash. Her kitchen is very rich looking. I made these as a quick last minute gift.

Midnight Stars - I used several different 8 point star blocks with amish colors to make this quilt. I drafted all of the patterns myself.

Samantha's Quilt - I drew the raccoon off a card given to me at my office. When Samantha was born I finished the quilt and gave it to her. The raccoon stands in a pond with cat tails and bluebirds are flying above. A fish is jumping in the pond.

GO Red Sox! - My Uncle Hy has been helping me out with my Mom who lives in an Assisted Living place back home in Worcester, MA. He has Macular Degeneration now and can't drive so much anymore. I know he likes the Red Sox, so I made this t-shirt quilt for him to keep him warm.

Seminole Experiment - I fell in love with the Seminole strips after the Simply Quilts show! I just started making the different patterns (each patterned strip is about 40 inches long) from my stash of batiks. Pretty soon I realized I had enough to make a quilt top and worked that way. I did all the quilting myself. Each row has a different quilting pattern. I am especially pleased with the "Flame" stitching as well as the "Water" stitching.

An Oriental in memory of Linda - Sampler Quilt made from (mostly) Oriental themed fabrics. My late friend, Linda, and I started this project together. In fact, she helped me pick out the fabrics. She died before either of us finished, but I have great memories of quilting together.

Lorine Loves Lavendar - This hanky panky quilt was designed in honor of my Mother-in-Law, Lorine Lautaret. I learned in a class how to print photos on fabric. I took Cindy Brick's Hanky Panky Handkerchief class and designed this quilt using Lorine's hankies, gloves, jewelry, charms, and favorite color.

Ethan's quilt - A whole-cloth appliqued quilt with the Hebrew alef-bet, for my cousin's son.

Chipmunk - This is the result of a round robin challenge my art quilt group created (these are annual events)Each member came up with a subject... in this case, "In the Woods"..... and we each created quilted books from the pages made by each member.This was the first project made on my new felting machine. Made with wool felt, wool roving, soy silk and embellished with rayon stitching. Approx. 5" X 5"

Himilayan Beauty - Last year's round robin from the Fiber Divas (my art quilt group) was inspired by photos we each selected for inspiration. We each then created our interpretations of each photo. This piece was inspired by a photo taken by Anita Furbush of Holderness, NH while she was hiking in the Himilayas. I made all entries for the challenge with my felting machine (my challenge!). Piece was created on a foundation of Timtex, with wool fabric, wool felt, Wool roving, soy silk, silk fiber, and embroidery thread stitiching.
