Cute Baby - I got this pattern on a shop hop and i decided to make it for my son. It is all applique and has a quilt stitch around all the fabrics.

Wrestling - I made this wall hanging for my brother. I did a quilt stitch around all the pieces

Masquerade - This quilt was made using a series of large and small batik panels. I had the large one for over a year trying to decide what to do with it. I went to a quilt show with a friend that loves to buy fabric and we found the small panels. They were the answer to my design delimma.

Annie Mae - This quilt was designed using Gees Bend quilts as an inspiration. I had a book of their quilts and admired the colors in a quilt that was made by Annie Mae. I had a piece of Marimekko fabric in my stash with very similar colors so I made the quilt and named it after Annie Mae.

Geo's Stars - I designed this quilt for a client, Ms. Kosel, who loves the night sky. We communicated via email and the Internet because we live in different states. It was fun to work virtually. Ms. Kosel wanted me to create a family heirloom. Something that told a story about her family and close friends. This quilt is called Geo's Stars which is Ms. Kosel's "grand motherly name." The concentric star design of the background is enhanced with star and sky fabrics. The stars against the night sky are her children, grandchildren, nieces nephews and siblings. Each of the large stars in the design represents my client, her parents, and her children. These stars are surrounded with clusters of objects that symbolize traits or interests of that person’s family members. When I finished this quilt in August 2000 Ms. Kosel had an unveiling ceremony where I met all of the "stars." They were truly a bright and shiny group. In August of 2007 Ms. Kosel returned the quilt to me for additions. Her son married, she married Mr. Kosel, there are more grandchildren, etc. I guess we'll have to unveil the quilt again and invite the new comers over for the celebration

Just Because - This quilt was made from scrap fabrics. As I was creating two other quilts (Annie Mane and Wildflower) I put scraps on another design wall and designed this small wall hanging.

Ribbons In the Wind - After taking Libby's seminar in 2008 I wanted to try making ribbons. I wanted to make a Convergence quilt like Ricky's, too. So, I combined the techniques.

Mt. Quilt Quest 2006 Sampler Quilt - This was my Shop Hop Sampler Quilt made with design help at the North Bend Quilt retreat in Feb. 2008. My long arm quilter friend, Kim Roberts, custom quilted it for me. I was her last custom job!!!

Bouquets for a New Day with a few changes - I wanted a larger quilt so designed a center block to go with the Bouquets. I did faux trapunto using a layer of Hobbs polyester and a layer of Hobbs wool batting.

Daddy's Girl - This baby quilt was made for my new grandaughter, Olivia. Olivia is the third child of my son, Brady, the two boys fell in love with Minkee everything so...I thought that this quilt would be perfect for their new sister. All of the animals are made of minkie. I have to give credit to my dear friend, Gloria for doing the machine applique animals, I do not own an emb. machine. Gloria took the time to help me out just a few days before leaving on vacation in order for me to have the quilt done in time for Olivia's birth! What a dear, thank you Gloria!

Goose Tracks/My first quilt - This was my very first quilt. I machine pieced the quilt but I hand quilted the whole thing. I never thought that I would finish!

Hidden Wells in Rose and Green - This quilt was the first quilt that I made with the strip piecing method. I machine pieced the quilt and it was hand quilted by an Amish woman.

Lindsay & Andrew's Wedding Quilt - This quilt is made from the Papillon fabric line by Hoffman. The picture does not do it justice. There is a pearlized design in the fabric that is absolutely beautiful. I used John Flynn's templates since I wanted to get this quilt completed in a relatively short period of time.

Winding Ways - This quilt was made from pieces that were cut using the Accquilt quilt templates. The quilt was a pleasure to put together as the pieces were so precise. The quilt was made to hang over our bed.

Montepulciano - I had such a wonderful time in the small Tuscan town of Montepulciano. I took many pictures and decided to try and convert a couple of the photos to a small, applique picture quilt. I am very happy with the results.
