Lily's Quilt - I hope DGD enjoys snuggling in this for a long time. I made this to go with the colors her parents chose for her room.

Davian's Quilt - The original quilt pattern had fabrics in pastel colors, which is right in my color comfort zone. Davian's mommy asked for bright colors, so I picked the bright background and then used softer hand-dyed fabrics for the applique. I didn't really like it until it was all sewn together with the yellow sashing.

Accessorize! - Pillowcases and fabric bowl made from the scraps of Nikki's quilt "Tutti Frutti Tropical Patootie". A quilt isn't finished unless you accessorize it. I would have made a bed ruffle but she has a bunk bed.

Shimmering Sight - I made this quilt for the AQS Contest - New Quilts from an Old Favorite - Burgoyne Surrounded.

Five Little Monkeys - This quilt was so fun to make. It represents a lot of firsts for me: (a) first quilt I did embroidery on, (b) first quilt I quilted myself (much of it on my friend's long arm machine), (c) first quilt I used a quilted embroidery design for some of the patches, (d) first quilt I embroidered the quilt label on, (e) first scrappy binding, and (f) first quilt where I did everything, from start to finish. This was a ton of fun to make, and I learned so much about embroidery on this quilt. Had done some embroidery before, but not like this. The monkey embroidery designs were purchased from oregonpatchworks.com. The design set is called Monkey Shines. My stipple quilting for the blank blocks was embroidery designs purchased from myfairladydesigns.com. This is going to be a baby gift for my dear colleague, Dr. Jeong-il Cho. It will be a hard one to give up!

Winter Wonderland - Winter Wonderland is a quilted tree skirt about 60 inches diameter. The fabric top is pieced jacqard and the bottom is quilter's cotton. The machine embroidery designs are from Husquvarna-Viking and were done on the quilt top using cut-away stabilizer. After the quilt sandwich was assembed, the sandwich was meander quilted. I added buttons from my grandmothers button collection, sparkles, and beads. The beads were applied by machine using a bare-needle technique with lowered feed dogs.

Bargello Ark - Made out of Noah's Ark quilt material in primary colors

Kitten's are my Friends - Made for my daughters apartment...returned home when she got married.

Irish Chain for Paul - Made for our bed...each light area is hand quilted with a celtic knot.

My First Sampler - Made in a begging quilting and rotary cutting class. Learn different techniques.

Irish Setters Rule - Made my own drunker's path design with all dog print material. I appliqued Irish Setter heads and bodies to the top....especially for my husband who shows our Irish Setters in Obedience trials around the country. He has had the top Irish Setter in obedience in the country the last few years.

Medallion - This was made during a class being taught on the drunker's path block

Pretty in Pink - This was a class project learn to make log cabin blocks. I learned new techniques including the use of flying geese...all the small triangle. The pink areas have a large medallion hand quilted with a feather wreath. Many new techniques were learn by me on this project.

Pams Log Cabin

Red Sox Rule - Parents are Red Sox fans and wanted a baseball quilt for their firstborn no matter if it was a girl or boy.

Kaleidescope Fun - Watching Ricky explain the Kaleidescope quilt was amazing. I thought...I can do this...in fact, I'm going to try. I had to watch parts of the show twice but for the most part his explanation was enough the first time. He's right in saying that the design is not something you can plan. This was a lot of fun to make.
