Blue School Days - Traditional school house block with ribbon border. Edges will be scalloped after quilting

Cranes - This quilt really came alive with the appliqued cranes flying this way and that. I added pieces to the various birds so as to extend them beyond their piece, as well as adding whole birds scattered over the surface. The quilt makes me think of birds flying over the world-water, land, lush greenery. My longarm quilter did a wonderful job and designed a vine pattern that used wings as leaves and quilted this meandering vine all around the birds, somewhat like a wind or water pattern. Really wonderful! :-)

Butterflies for Hanh - Made the quilt for my Nephew's new baby girl (bought some butterfly prints off of eBay). Then I got a pattern for booties from the Etsy store (PreciousPatterns) and my daughter and I made booties while staying in a remote cabin in the woods. They turned out wonderfully!

Golden Broken Star - I made this quilt from a Quilt University Class called "Broken Star". We were taught the construction method and everyone's stars and quilts were different sizes based on what our diamonds measured out to and we were taught how to calciulate and add customized setting squares to our stars. I machine quilted this on my HQ16. the background quilting is dense and based on Irena Bluhm's "Bluhming Background Designs".

Wake Up and Smell the Coffee - This wall quilt was adapted from the Bella Nonna Designs pattern, Java & Cinnamon. I substituted rattail hand-couched with gold metallic thread for the circular swirls. With written permission from the designer, who had notice of my adaptations, I donated this quilt to the Lincoln Quilters Guild for their 2008 quilt auction. I do not know the name of the purchaser.
