Will's Rocket Quilt - I made this for my son. We live in Mars, PA, and he loved rockets, so this quilt seemed appropriate. I bought some artwork by Kris Banks, and adapted the quilt from that picture.

Godly Woman - I took verses from Proverbs 31 which describe what God wants us to be. I found the project very enlightening and that most women ARE what they are here to do! Anyone who feels that she is not living the life she should be must take some time to ready this short partial chapter. With these snippits, I combined them with small embroideries to liven the blocks and then used a spirograph type purchased embroidery set to make the setting squares. The embroidery threads were selected to coordinate with the border fabrics.

My Dream Quilt - Got instructions for this quilt from a friend who had taken a class at a quilt shop. She was told the pattern hadn't been published and I've never seen it anywhere. The technique is similar to mirror image bargello, only in individual blocks. Each set of 8 coordinated fabrics makes two blocks, a light center and a dark center. It takes lots of shopping to find 8 coordinated fabrics ranging from very light to very dark in 12 different colors. But who's complaining about fabric shopping? I designed the hand appliqued border using three simple flower shapes and lots of colors, just like in the quilt center.

Zane's Baby Quilt - Front- Teddy Bear print, yellow gingam, blue & green 5"sq. Back- made from husband's shirts, baby blue sq. & white 10" square's. Made for grandson. My first completed quilt.

Butterflies for Quincy - I was asked to make a Butterfly Quilt so I created and added my interpretation of a butterfly.

Summer Dreams - This quilt was perfect for all my scraps.

Churn Dash Maze Quilt - Easy, fun quilt to make. Hand quilted 100% cotton and I love the puckering when washed.

Tweetlebird Lane - So fun to make, I had to make two of them.

Ocean Waves in Rustic Colors - The season was October so I pulled out my fall colors for this one.

Garden Row Applique' Sampler - My first attempt at applique. What a fun project.

Trip Around The World Quilt - This was the very first pattern I learned from a friend.

Elizabeth Claires Quilt - I made this for my friend Susans grandaughter who was born Apr 12th. She weighed 6ls 6oz. I hope Elizabeth Claire uses it well and carries it around for yrs to come.

My First Quilt - This is the first quilt I ever made. I did this in a class taught by Diane Turscak from the West Pasco Quilters Guild .

Poinsettia - I purchased this pattern several years ago for a flip & sew foundation quilt, but decided I didn't want to do it that way. So I traced the pattern and turned it into a hand applique pattern. I added some beads to the center of each flower for a little bling. Finished in time for Christmas 2008.

My Brave New World - After our Batik Block Swap, I was looking for a pattern that I could use all the delicious fabrics and came across this one in Fons and Porter. I pieced the top several years ago, and set it aside since many of the seams didn't match up perfectly. Another lesson learned. I just had it long armed this year so that we can hang it in our quilt show - Hot Needles Cool Quilts 2009.

Great-Grandmother's Double Wedding Ring - My great-grandmother hand-pieced the arcs using feed sacks many years ago but she never completed the quilt. My grandmother had the pieces in a trunk and passed them down to me to finish. I had to draft several templates for all the white pieces but they finally fit and I was happily able to finish the quilt.

Ina's Garden - I made this quilt for a dear aunt's 90th birthday.
